I mean, really! c'mon people...<br /><br />Anyway<br /><br />This is a very interesting post, and a subject am very interested in as well because the only cases I can put my hands on are either happening in the US (which starts to look like a very frightening place when you read too much articles in one day) or the UK, cases in Japan are also fairly accessible but am more into the korean culture and social behavior, therefor, thank you for highlighting this on your blog. <br /><br />The statistics are somehow shocking, I mean, since I don't speak korean and therefor can't read the press there (and most articles aren't often translated) personally I would have never guessed it was this frequent for children and teenagers to get molested/raped in such seemingly calm country...now that I think about it, it sounds so candid coming for someone who read so much on the subject. In the end, the country doesn't really matter, sexual predators and pedophiles aren't white people, they are just people, period. Sick people. <br /><br />I was appaled that the 60 year old walked free because of he was "mentally unsound", what's that even supposed to mean anyway? It doesn't excuse a damn thing, those little girls where molested for a year, he caused them a trauma that is going to last for the rest of their lives, mentally unsound or retarded even, it doesn't make a difference, he should at least be put in institution but not released back on the streets. <br /><br />It's obviously a good thing that finally both the media and the police are paying more attention to cases like these, their lack of interest and actions on the matter for the previous years might be the reason for such frightning statistics. Maybe now with a sex offenders register and the voted bill of chimical castration the numbers will drop. Parents should also be more careful with their children and ought to instruct them not to speak to strangers, I mean the first case about the 7 year old who actually invited the man in her house 'to play'...that's oh so very wrong, am truly shocked; where the hell were her parents? an adult? anyone! she's 7 years old, that's hardly an age at which she can care about herself on her own.<br /><br />Thanks again for the article! Hope you'll get to write on the subject again.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17037109823397949556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-75218796819523456832010-07-09T23:17:43.239+09:002010-07-09T23:17:43.239+09:00Due to strict Korean Immigration laws that do not ...<b>Due to strict Korean Immigration laws that do not allow foreigners to have side jobs</b><br /><br />Don't mislead people.

I came across your blog on social issues in Korean, and I was inspired by it. <br /><br />Due to strict Korean Immigration laws that do not allow foreigners to have side jobs, or start their own businesses, it is hard to find good websites where people can find all information and services they need. <br /><br />At Huijun Communications, we are currently in the works of creating a website that serves as a hub and a community for foreigners living in Korea. At the moment, since we are at the beginning stages, we are just trying to gather more information on entertainment news and living in Korea. We want to make life easier for other foreigners living in Korea, and our vision is to eventually create a website where people can get all info and service they want through this website without need of searching and looking here and there, and through which people communicate with Koreans also. <br /><br />And we have staffs and finance to make this happen. <br /> <br />I was thinking your blog/website would be a great asset for us, and I was wondering if you would be willing to post your blog entries on our website as well. It will allow you to have a chance to share your thoughts and info with members of lifeinkorea.kr and all members of lifeinkorea will appreciate you for that. If that is not workable due to your schedules, please allow us to bring your articles to our website. We will make sure the source and author of articles appear in our website. <br /><br />We plan to find ways to realistically benefit enthusiastic writers like you.<br />Depending on the depth of your interest, we can consider giving you a dedicated section or sub category in our website. <br /><br />Please feel free to check our website beforehand (www.lifeinkorea.kr). The current design will be changed totally. <br />A whole new design for the website is on its way (attached design draft)<br /><br />I have a strong belief that this website will be a center of all people living in Korea. <br />If you have other proposal in your mind, please feel free to contact me any time at skim@huijun.co.kr or call at 010-9088-6212.<br /> <br />Your prompt reply is highly appreciated. <br /><br />Truly yours,Sean Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110361850370976533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-49469738463791337802010-07-09T14:05:00.155+09:002010-07-09T14:05:00.155+09:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sean Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110361850370976533noreply@blogger.com
