Child prostitution story leads to arrest
There have been a lot of really interesting and thoughtful responses on the blog tonight about the border issue. I just heard some great news. One of the stories we aired earlier this week highlighting the problems of child prostitution in Mexico actually had an impact. U.S. government officials say that after our piece ran Mexican officials received a tip from a viewer who had seen the story. That tip led to the arrest of at least one American man who was caught making pornography with three little girls in Tijuana, the U.S. officials say. That man is now in jail and those three little girls are safe tonight, and for that, we are truly grateful.

What a great way to start the weekend. Wonderful news. It's time we all stand up and stop this madness ourselves. Go with your gut. Remember the woman recently that saw the little girl in the store. She felt there was something wrong. She stuck with it and saved those two kids from a living nightmare. It is time to stop walking away. We need to look out for each other. Thanks for the news Anderson, I'm grateful.

Job well done to 360, the police, and the person who gave the police the tip! There's a dark side to so many of the small border towns. Wait until someone hits Nogales after sunset. That's a seedy little two-part town, half in Arizona, half in Mexico.

In my opinion, the media's most important role has always been that of "watchdog." If you don't focus on these stories, who will? I couldn't do what you do, so I'm sure glad you're there to do it. Thanks, Anderson for keeping them all honest!

What a wonderful first step in the right direction!! Hopefully we will continue moving foward. Sooner or later (more than likely, later), we (the US gov. & Mexican gov.) will get our acts together & come up with solutions to some if not all the border problems (drugs/immigration/child prostitution)

You & your crew certainly deserve a pat on the back!
Posted By Anonymous Amber Morgantown, WV : 8:18 PM ET
Another sideline to your effective reporting---now that people in the US can see the reality behind the difficulties with the US/Mexico border, perhaps it will have an impact on drug use in this country. It may be a bad analogy, but being a vegetarian, I hear from people that when they stop and think where the meat on their plate REALLY came from, they think twice about eating it. With any luck, perhaps drug users in this country will think twice about what is involved in transporting contraband across the border. Maybe they will think about the poverty in Mexico that drives people to offer up little girls to prostitution. Maybe they will remember the awful story of the puppies who were brutalized just to get drugs across the border undetected. Is the "high" really worth the debasement and degradation that comes with it?

Our "leaders and clergy"? Stereotyping I can at least understand as having a discernible origin, but I'm surprised comments like that one even make it onto moderated boards.

Unless, of course, there's some sort of scientific data that indicates child pornography is primarily accessed by clergy and congressmen...sheesh.

This is fantastic news. Something good finally came out of the media. Anyone caught doing such things to kids of any age should be given only two choices. 1 Physical castration and life in prison labeled as a pedophile. or 2 Death. Not years in prison waiting but the same day. Use a rope and recycle. A few of these and people ,I mean monsters, would think twice before acting.

Hi Anderson, that is wonderful, ur news story saving three innocent children's lives and hopefully many more in future. It is very sad to see adults abusing children, sad to see young children forced to work at wrong places instead of having a nice innocent childhood where they should be spending their time going to school educating themselves.
Iam glad there are people like you who focus on real life problems of people in the world and giving a voice to suffering people who cannot speak for themselves so that the whole world hears their agonies.
some time back I saw a movie "salaam bombay" made on child laborers in india which made me realise how hard life is orphan orphan poor children and how they are forced to go for work and forced to do wrong things to fill their stomachs instead of going to schools and studying.
I hope people like you all keep covering such news and hope people make documentaries and movies focusing on real life problems in the world.

For the longest time I did not know why Lou Dobbs was so 'hung up' on the border immigration issue. It wasn't until I saw your stories on the border that I truly grasped the complex nature of the situation. I suppose it is as though all of the factors of poverty, dislocation, greed, and criminality [trafficers, predators, graft, etc.] have combined. In the early 70s I worked the fields of California - cutting broccoli, celery, picking walnuts, weeding sugar beet fields - from Tres Pinos to Yuma. I crossed the boarder at Calexico with thousands at 3 a.m., traveled to Ensenada, Tijuana, Mexicali . . . . I now live on the US-Canadian border where potent mj is finding its way across to New York State. Where will this end?? This deathly economy built on personal devastation, all the while hiding at every turn? Thank you CNN for shining the only light available on this powerful, dark scenario.

Great work on helping to catch this man and good job to the person who phoned him in! On a larger scale, I think that little can be done unless both Presidents Bush and Fox embark on a massive change in how the country's economies work--you can't have a poor country situated right next door to a rich one which is often willing to exploit its desperate neighbors--but I think a lot of little improvements like this do add up and certainly make the landscape less secure for the bad guys on both sides of the border. Well done!

Human trafficking has been a serious issue around the world, since the beginning of mankind. It is respectable that lately the media has placed great effort into informinig the public of such things and that amazing actions, such as this arrest, have taken place. However, I must emphasize that a large amount of trafficking has nothing to do with sexual exploitation, but forced labor and it is to my discontent that most media coverage focuses only on the sexual aspects of trafficking. I applaud you for your reflections on the matter and hope it serves to arouse the public to be aware of such issues on a broader level.

I get to watch Anderson Cooper 360 in the mornings, in Bangalore, India. I watched the one on child prostitution. It's the same bloody story across the globe. This is one problem which has no boundaries, cast, creed or colour. Perverts are the same be it India or in the US. So is the pain and trauma for the child -be it here in India or in the US. As a journalist here in India, I have covered child prostitution and one always feels good when one does something like that. Because you believe you are creating awareness, you believe that your story is going to help people track criminals and you believe that your story is going to make a difference -however small it might be. And it does! However, in some of the cases when I went back to see what happened to the children -it broke my heart to learn that some of them had gone back to the flesh trade or were sold off to some unscrupulous bastard with a very sick mind. The reason being -the situations that put these children at risk in the first place have never been dealt with -by the government or the people. And these reasons (poverty, lack of education, abandonment by family, lack of food, shelter, care) are universal -i believe it is the same be it here in India or in the US. Same old problems! That's when it really hit me hard -i might be able to write 100 stories about child prostitution that might help the cops put 200 traffickers behind bars. But there will be 200 more waiting to make their move because they know that these rescued children (atleast most of them) will go right back to an environment that prompted them to become child prostitutes in the first place. No sooner,the kids will be put back on the market and the perverts will make their kill! We need to create an awareness about the situations that's prompting these children to enter the flesh trade in the first place. Just like how your story on child prostitution created an awareness and prompted a Mexican to inform the officials, I hope your follow up story will help your viewers in America to become aware of the situations that these children live and grow up and which propels them into the flesh trade; and that awareness might someday lead some people to do something about the situation and make this world a better place to live for our children. Afterall, we should as human beings should be able to take care of our children and our old -whether they are Indians or Americans.

Hi everyone.

I was reading through the comments section, and I read Bruce's comments. I'm now trying my best to unfreeze my face from the shocked contortions that took over. Is he actually serious? For one, the girls are UNDERAGE, and on top of that, they're being exploited for a couple of dollars. Prostitution dehumanizes and strips away the self-worth of the workers, and this practice--including the underage type--is never, never okay nor cool under any circumstance(has he not seen the Dateline specials?). And..his argument is full of logical fallicies.

Mr. Cooper, I'd just like to thank you for always doing the best work that you can do--as I remember, you were the only reporter from the cable news stations who was live on the air when the Sago Mine news drastically changed at 3:00 AM; the others were playing reruns of prime-time shows.

Thank you, Anderson, for your consistent hard work in journalism. Although Oprah stated in her interview that we were just hearing about you, I remember seeing your Channel One work a decade or so ago. Even though it was a bit rough around the edges, I thought that you and Lisa Ling both did a great job bringing world news to American classrooms. The fact that you two are beginning to have more of an impact is wonderful. I look forward to hearing more and more stories from you.
