Thailand raises alarm over student internet prostitution

(IANS)

Thailand's Culture Ministry is urging authorities to crack down on a rising trend of Thai students using the internet for prostitution, media reports said Sunday.

Culture Minister Theera Salukpetch asked the education ministry, the communications technology ministry, police and internet service providers to increase their vigilance against website prostitution, which he blamed on faulty values among the country's youth, The Nation newspaper reported.

Academics urged colleges and the government to take action against the trend of students using social networking websites such as Hi5 to advertise prostitution by posting their pictures with suggestive messages.

Suan Dusit Rajabhat University associate professor Sukhum Chaloeysap blamed the trend on the downturn in the economy, which has deprived many students of part-time jobs.

But others blame it on declining social values among Thai youth.

Ramjitti Institute director Amornwit Nakhonthap said the student sex trade via internet was not surprising, but rather in keeping with the trend towards promiscuity and prostitution in an increasingly materialistic society.

He cited a recent survey which revealed that most young people in the sex trade were not poor, but just wanted money to buy things.

I find it absolutely disgusting that the internet is being used for the promotion of prostitution.

Those guilty of such heinous activities should be sent to hell.

The strategy of clamping down on prostitution by hitting the supply side will NEVER succeed because it is flawed.

Prositution, Drugs, Gambling, Porn etc are all part of an ORGANISED racket, very difficult to eradicate. It is EASIER to hit it hard from the DEMAND side. The clients or customers are NOT part of an organised sydicate, they are usually individuals and easily caught.

Heavy penalties will hit home harder on the purchasers of commercial sex than the providers in the sex industry. A family man caught and punished in a VICE raid would face embarassment to self, family members, work mates in the office, suffer a serious dent in his bank account or lose his job even with a conviction and may be deterred from visiting a prostitute again.

Prostitutes caught in vice raids normally have their fines paid by the syndicate and they are back in the job again. Even if they are jailed, the syndicate can always bring in fresh faces as long as DEMAND for services are STRONG.
