Although the statistics say that the child sex problem is mostly domestic, other countries have indeed blacklisted Costa Rica for being such a haven.
Is that supposed to be good news, I ask?...the part about it being domestic. That just means they have more access to their own children. That statistic means nothing else.
Prostitution is perfectly legal in Costa Rica, and the hookers can actually register with the government and receive free health checkups. Wow
You can go to Sunday breakfast buffet and there is a lot more on the menu than eggs and toast.
Is it any wonder, with permission to act in a sexual manner freely, that the kids are being exploited?
