Russian Summer Camp

Seven campers between the ages of 13 and 15 have reportedly disappeared from a summer camp near Krasnoyarsk, on July 17, 2005. Camp administrators notified police about the disappearance within 24 hours. Local police have admitted that they didn't even look around that much.

"Why bother" – says Oleg Goldov, chief of the criminal department of the local police, - "They run away every year, every week. At camp they don't have vodka and cigarettes, so they hitchhike to Krasnoyarsk, where they can buy some".

48 hours after he went missing, one of the missing campers, age 13, was found purchasing liquor at a Krasnoyarsk supermarket.

Kids in Russian summer camps are not given proper adult supervision. There are many orphans, and many kids come from broken families.

The moral and physical abuse of Russian children creates unbelievable opportunities for child pornographers, who are doing a booming business these days in Russia.
