Child pornography and child trafficking are the same industry - Amazon.co.jp is assisting in funding (and ergo supporting) both if it sells pornographic material involving minors.CarolPLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12504482468572114606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008031650758926055.post-41084014576053484392014-10-13T06:21:15.439-07:002014-10-13T06:21:15.439-07:00I'm also disgusted with this but welcome to Ja...I'm also disgusted with this but welcome to Japan. The yakuza run anything porn here so good luck with what you are trying to do. <br />I feel that the Japanese let way too young children take trains and walk alone. How easy they made it for all those children to be abducted to north Korea all those years ago. Child abuse is also ignored here. If you can get some media coverage, it may help with at least the porn. It's gross that we can buy diapers for our children and child pornography on the same site.

You also know that porn is easily accessible at the conbini stores - Lawsons, 7-11 etc.- at kids eye-level, unsealed, just women. I check as I am curious, confused and aghast at the normalcy of this literature and portrayal of women in a convenience store. Share and be aware and speak out to protect our kids and society.TokyoBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12907118360389778766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008031650758926055.post-58670758452927523322014-10-13T04:23:43.639-07:002014-10-13T04:23:43.639-07:00Hi Janice
