“When I was in the Philippines, I saw the damaging effect webcam sex tourism has on these children. Their feelings of self worth and their views on sexuality were completely distorted” says Terre des Hommes’ psychologist Guusje Havenaar.
The Terre des Hommes research team was helped by a fictitious, virtual 10-year old called Sweetie. As soon as this girl showed her virtual face in freely accessible chat programs, numerous adult men would contact her. Within seconds, Sweetie received dozens of requests for online sex.
The rich adult usually defines ‘the market’ of webcam child sex tourism. Money is scarce in many developing countries and practically every request by webcam will be conceded, however perverse. The growing popularity of the Internet and mobile telephony in developing countries makes it possible to meet the rise in demand. Poverty is the main reason why these children are being molested online. For more background information on this new phenomenon, visit www.youtube.com/sweetie.
According to the FBI and the UN, 750,000 perpetrators worldwide engage in webcam child sex tourism at any given moment. In contrast: only 6 perpetrators have been convicted since 2007. This has to change. Protect the children from webcam child sex tourists. Sign the petition here: http://avaaz.org/en/wcst/

No More Sign Language For Deaf Children With Implants ?
Medical Research: No more sign language for Deaf children with implants?
NEDERLANDS - The language development of children with a cochlear implant who only learn spoken language is faster than that of children with a cochlear implant who are also learning sign language. This is what Leiden researcher Karin Wiefferink concludes in her dissertation.
Monolingual environment may be better for development of spoken language: Wiefferink compared the language development of Flemish children with a cochlear implant (CI) with that of Dutch children who also had a cochlear implant, but who grew up in a bilingual environment in which they were learning both spoken language and sign language. The study shows that the spoken language development of the Flemish children was faster than that of the Dutch children. What was remarkable was that the sign language of the Dutch children barely showed any signs of development once they had a cochlear implant. In addition, after a while, the Dutch children developed a preference for spoken language. These results suggest that a monolingual environment is better for language development than a bilingual environment.
Socio-emotional development: A second study from the dissertation shows that the socio-emotional development of children with a CI is slower than that of hearing children. A notable finding was that the linguistic development only played a minor role in this context. One possible explanation is that CI children are less aware of what is happening in their direct environment, because they find it difficult to follow conversations in a noisy environment. Wiefferink: ‘Access to the social environment therefore seems to play an important role in socio-emotional development.’ ...READ MORE: http://www.news.leiden.edu/news-2012/no-more-sign-language-for-deaf-children-with-implants.html
