Child prostitution history seems to go back to British colonial days. Children were sent to colonies under some pretense, away from families. Prime targets for abuse for power people in the colonies.

"She told Health Impact News that to understand the true extent of what is happening, readers need to understand the history behind it. She stated that:

The lost children go back long before the work houses that were organised in 1576. Then in 1619, immigration of the poor kids started and again in 1834 the poor houses were organised. Then in 1929, these were shut down.

There were also the Duplessis orphans, which were healthy children, living in sanctuaries, who were hastily diagnosed as mentally incompetent, psychotic patients.

So the British children have always been slaves for untold years and of course untold thousands of kids sold off to Australia, Canada and many other countries, after World War II as can be read in this link, tens of thousands of more stolen children sent abroad.

The earliest recorded British child migrants left Britain for Virginia in 1618, but most of them were sent in the late 19th and the 20th centuries.

Exact figures are hard to come by, but it seems that between 130,000 and 150,000 children – usually orphaned, abandoned, illegitimate, or just poor – were sent to live in foster homes and institutions in the colonies: mostly Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)."
