a greqt shame for the Arab world

I really do not understand why the state andit's police cannot put an end to these imoral activities in Morocco? all tourists should stop going to Moroco until the state puts an end to this hell. it is a great shame in the Arab world to touch a child. every country has it's poor but they resort to selling thier children! the parents who sell thier children in to child prostituion should be reprimanded by the legal system of the country. tourists going to Morocco for this kind of activity should be put in to prison in thier country! it is so sad to wreck a child's life and with the aids problem omni presentit leads to taking human lives thus it is a crime in most of the western world.
