Cambodian Innocence
Take a 12 year old Cambodian boy from a rural village and put him alone in Central London. Take a 12 year old London boy and put him in the middle of rural Cambodia. This is a disturbing tale of Sopheap, a bright Cambodian youngster who is the victim of sex trafficking and Logan, a privileged London kid who loses his parents and his memory in a terrible accident. This is a tale about their fights to stay alive in their new surroundings. Where can you get water to drink? Where can you get food? How do you communicate? Even where do you go to the toilet? This is a tale about the new friends they make and the new enemies. This is a tale about their battles with sex traffickers and their fight against one gang of particularly evil men who have one intention - destroying Cambodian Innocence. This book, which is sadly based on true stories, is the tale of the coming of age the hard way for these two boys. It deals with upsetting themes, but sex trafficking and the men who follow this depraved path are real, and we ignore them at the peril of boys like Sopheap and Logan.
