THE LOST CHILDREN; Sex slave fears for kids brought into Ireland who then disappear.
Byline: By DARREN BOYLE, Crime Reporter
THESE are the faces of children who disappeared after being brought into Ireland - and it is feared some may have been sold into sex slavery.
Concerns are growing that youngsters are being trafficked into the country by ruthless gangs, placed into the state's care and then abducted and forced into European brothels.
Gardai recently launched Operation Snow, which is tasked with eliminating the child sex trafficking trade here.
Immigration immigration, entrance of a person (an alien) into a new country for the purpose of establishing permanent residence. Motives for immigration, like those for migration generally, are often economic, although religious or political factors may be very important. officials now actively monitor all children arriving in Ireland who are at risk of being sold into slavery.
The Irish Daily Mirror has learned that several cases are currently being prepared for prosecution.
Detective Superintendent John O'Driscoll of the Garda National Immigration Bureau said traffickers are using threats of black magic.
He added: "Voodoo is a particularly troubling aspect of these investigations, and is indeed an issue that we have had to deal with ourselves.
"The victims before travelling are made believe they are subject to a voodoo spell that, if they report or tell anybody what is happening to them, all sorts of things will happen to themselves and their family members.
"In the course of these investigations we have to find people who can reassure victims that this spell has no substance."
Dutch police believe as many as 150 children have been moved by this trafficking ring.
Det Supt O'Driscoll explained the methods used by the child sex gangs and said: "Children are brought into Europe and arrive on many occasions as unaccompanied minors at ports of entry.
"They are then put into the care of the services of the various countries. After being put in such care they then go missing. It is pre-planned.
"These children are taken away from that accommodation and sold into prostitution."
He said the children are normally aged between 15 and 16, but could be younger.
As part of the probe, gardai arrested suspected child trafficker Peter Sarfo from Nigeria on a European Arrest Warrant.
He is expected to appear in the High Court next week to challenge his extradition to Holland.
Another 18 suspected traffickers were arrested in Holland, Spain, Belgium and Britain.
The girls are smuggled into Amsterdam where they are told to apply for asylum.
But as soon as they are placed in a home the traffickers return and kidnap them, putting them into brothels across Europe.
Det Supt O'Driscoll said officers are working with police across Europe and sharing intelligence.
He added: "We were asked to join with the UK, Poland, Germany, Italy, Spain and France to deal with the problem of human trafficking through out Europe.
"It involves awareness raising, enforcement, victim care and intelligence gathering. We have become involved in an investigation and been asked as part of that initiative that child trafficking be given priority.
"We have set up Operation Snow which has targeted the trafficking of children in particular.
"We have co-operated with police around Europe but in particular with the investigating officers in the Netherlands where this investigation is centred."
Justice Minister Brian Lenihan said he wanted to end this trade which he described as an "abhorrent crime" and a "violation of fundamental human rights".
