another article on the '****' sting'.
at least nationally some children were taken out of harms way. of course they shouldn't have been put into danger the first time. those who do it should be taken out and shot but that is only my opinion. however the vast majority including those listed here were not ****.

norwood — local, county, state and federal police on friday arrested four women on prostitution charges and two men who officers say are involved with them on other charges.
law enforcement officials from several agencies friday answered several suggestive advertisements in unspecified media outlets and, as a result, made the arrests.
police arrested mellissa , 23, of hyde park, sharnita , 21, of boston, and crystalee, 23 of dorchester, and charged them them with sexual conduct for a fee.
ashesha, 26, of roslindale, was picked up on a warrant of sexual conduct for a fee.
during the investigation, police seized several cell phones, a gps unit, two laptop computers and cash, according to a norwood police department press release.
police spokesman yesterday declined to say where in town the arrests took place, saying representatives of the site were uninvolved with the alleged criminal activity and cooperated fully with police.
"the location is innocent in all of this," "some of these things happen in norwood because of our location, i think - right next to (interstate) 95 and (rte.) 128."
the arrests came as part of a three-day nationwide effort to pluck children out of the world of prostitution. the federal bureau of investigation's web site says the work led to the "recovery" of 48 children and the arrest of 571 people. the fbi site thanks many local police departments, including norwood's, for participating in the effort.
the nationwide campaign can be traced to the federal bureau's innocence lost initiative, a program begun in 2003 that combines the work of the fbi, the department of justice's child exploitation section and the national center for missing and exploited children.
according to the fbi, these groups have worked successfully to rescue over 575 children since the initiative's inception. investigations have successfully led to the conviction of more than 300 people who exploit children through prostitution.
