    Now that most child trafficking narratives have been discredited they need a new grift. Actually solving the problem would put them out of a job so they got to address it in the most ineffectual ways. Complicating the matter of child labor is a wonderful make-work effort to maintain unnecessary bureaucratic NGO positions for failsons and daughters around the world. It's all neoliberalist drivel to make people feel good about doing less.
