'Loverboys' child prostitution scandal back in Dutch spotlight

Truly a sick society...why is there such a high tolerance for these sorts of crimes, especially against children?

Phenomenon of young men pimping underage schoolchildren prompts national wave of soul-searching

On her first day of secondary school, a nervous 12-year-old Maria Mosterd was noticed by a much older boy from the technical college next door, wearing a baby-blue tracksuit and diamond jewellery. "He was big, fat and ugly, but he was impressive because all the boys respected him," she said. "I was kind of scared of him. All the girls wanted him to talk to them. But he only said hello to me, so I thought I was special." They got chatting in the playground and two weeks later the boy, Manou, persuaded her to skip class, drove her to his student flat, gave her a joint and slept with her. She didn't want to, but was told all girls had to learn how to do it. "You'll do well, you're the right size, you're well taken care of, they like that," he said. She didn't really know what he meant, laughed at the smiley faces on his boxer shorts, and then passed out from the dope. To Maria, Manou promised a bit of excitement in Zwolle, the "boring" provincial town where she lived with her Dutch mother, who taught drama at another school. Her father was from Suriname, but she didn't know him. She called herself a "half-blood" and often felt she didn't fit in. Days later Manou drove her to another flat during morning class. It smelt of drugs and there were two men in the living room. "You're going to have sex with them, sweetheart," he said. "Are you mad? I don't even know them," she laughed. He took her into the kitchen, beat her "to make her listen", then gave her a joint, and she went to the bedroom with the men. Afterwards, he dropped her back at school and she cycled home to her mum. She didn't tell anyone. He promised her nice clothes and took her to McDonald's for ice-cream. He gave her a mobile phone and called her every night in her bedroom at home, controlling everything, telling her when to go to the toilet, eat, go to bed. "I thought it was normal," she said. Manou was a "loverboy" – a phenomenon that has plunged the Netherlands into a wave of soul-searching. Loverboys, often in their 20s, single out insecure, underage girls in schools, coffee-shops, outside care homes, and woo them as "boyfriends", promising love, clothes, status and excitement. Then they start to run them as prostitutes, drug-mules and gun-runners, or extort money from them, isolating them from their friends and families. The girls, emotionally and financially dependant on their loverboys, find themselves locked into a cycle of abuse, sometimes made to work in windows in official red-light districts or being handed from flat to flat in several cities. The decade-old problem in the Netherlands has now been catapulted on to the political agenda after Mosterd wrote an account of her four years from the age of 12 to 16 when she was forced to work for her loverboy. The book, Real Men Don't Eat Cheese, has been a bestseller, a film is in pre-production, and politicians, police, teachers and parents are mobilising like never before. The public is asking why, in a nation where prostitution above the age of 18 is legal and regulated, a crooked sub-culture of loverboys and their child-prostitute "girlfriends" exists. Mosterd's family is suing her school for not properly investigating her truancy. Jamila Yahyaoui, of the Dutch Socialist party, which is pressing the government for more police action, more prosecutions and more shelters for victims, said: "Every year several hundred girls fall into the hands of loverboys, but only five cases lead to convictions. That has to change." Sitting in her living room, Mosterd, now 20, described her daily routine. "I would go to school on my bike. He'd be waiting for me. He'd give me different clothes to wear, otherwise my mother would smell the smoke on me. He thought of everything. He'd make sure I was back at home by 5pm, so I could have dinner with my mum." During the day she would be driven to houses and flats to sleep with men, often two or three at a time. There were rapes and beatings. She had to help single out other girls and deliver drugs and guns in her school bag – the police never noticed "a sweet little girl". "Manou had regular customers. Some were fathers, family men, company directors, school directors," she said. Eventually, after four years of truancy, a teacher confronted Mosterd, asking what was wrong. She didn't know what to say, so she told a part truth about a recent ordeal where Manou had promised a "surprise" and driven her to "a house full of men", saying she had to sleep with them all. She told the teacher about a vague gang rape. "I couldn't work out why the teacher and then my mother made such a drama of it. By then it was all normal to me," she said. Mosterd's mother, Lucie, is angry that the school never told her about the truancy, and that she never worked out what was going on, despite meeting Manou, who she thought was just a friend. "If it could happen to me as a mother, it could happen to anyone," she said. "Maria would always shower when she came in, but I thought she was sweaty from cycling home. She never went out at night. I didn't know what was going on in school time." Three men got short sentences for the gang rape. But Mosterd has not yet brought a case against Manou. Amanda de Wind, who manages a project that runs the Netherlands' only anonymous shelter specifically for escaped victims of loverboys, said: "I think this kind of thing is happening in every country, such as England, Germany, Russia, and accounts for 99% of the prostitution of young girls." In most of the cases she saw the girls had mental health problems; many had previously been victims of sexual abuse. "A loverboy can easily spot and target someone who has been raped," she said. Often a loverboy would take a girl with him to watch while he beat up someone else, she added. "The girls are told: 'If you run away, I'll go after your sister, your mother'." Recently loverboys have branched out into drug-running and extortion, which is harder for the police to spot. "We have seen loverboys making the girls take out bank loans when they turn 18 and hand over the money, or register cars and insurance in their name," De Wind said. Mosterd said she wasn't "in love" with her loverboy, but she lived for the happy moments, such as when he took her for an ice-cream on her 13th birthday. She never saw any money, but was offered limitless hash. Asked if he gave her heroin, she said: "He didn't have to make me addicted to drugs, because I was addicted to him."

You leave out many things such as what provoke the disgusting acts in question; these people were probably insane. Don't you think you get the occasional insane black person?

    If you want to give Manou the usual slap on the wrist, tell him not too be doing things like that, it's not nice, Go ahead. If you want too cure Manou from doing things like that, drag his ass down too the town square, pull his pants down, and put his balls in a vice. Slowly start crushing them. His screams will be heard all across Europe. When the vice is tightend all the way down, and his balls are flatter than a pancake, if he's still alive, and can walk and talk, set him free. He'll never mess with an underage girl again. Simple and cheap justice. You won't even have too pay anybody, the girl's mother will probably do it for free. There's only a one time expense for the vice, which can be stored and saved for the next child molester.

    Actually Robert Paulson, you're the one who sounds like a hypocrit. Tell us, are you also "sickened to the core" with white supremacist websites, or websites bashing other ethnicities or faiths? Are you posting similar comments as these on white supremacist websites, hardcore rightwing websites, or the Islam bashing websites popular these days? No? Why not?

    This website simply highlights the hypocrisy in western (read: white) media. Everything posted is truthful. The stories are all real, not made up. They simply added the word "white" at the beginning of the article. Makes a difference, doesn't it? Tell me, whenever a black man commits a crime, they almost always mention the fact that he's black don't they? So why not mention when the perp is white, like on this website? Anytime a Muslim is under suspicion of a crime, they never fail to mention his faith along with terms like "Islamist" etc... Even if his faith had nothing to do with the incident (i.e. - motive of simple revenge for example), or even if he was NOT actually Muslim (such as the D.C. sniper).

    Robert, you state "Why do you allow a couple of posts to account for millions of others? You leave out many things such as what provoke the disgusting acts in question. These people were probably insane." The white/western media does the EXACT same thing with non-whites! Do they not try to generalize a few crimes committed by individuals to entire races? To entire religions?! Do they ever include things such as what provoke the acts? No. Now go post up your contempt and disgust with racism and bigotry on white supremacist sites, zionist websites, and Islam-bashing websites. There are far more of those run by whites than websites like this.

    READ AND WEEP..READ AND LEARN..U ALL ARE SICK whiteman's constant obsession Thre are lolts of literasture devoted to the issue of interracial "SEX "as a national obsession." She makes no excuse for rape or sex in the least, probes its manifestations relentlessly, in fact devotes large space to current headlines about black on white force in the here and now. Nevertheless, America's historic crime from the very beginning and lasting hundreds of years, was violence and rape and cruelty committed by white men primarily, against those within his sway. "No single event ticks off America's political schizophrenia with greater certainty than the case of a black man accused of raping a white woman. Facts are irrelevant to the public imagination. Objectivity is thrown out the window. A maze of angled mirrors buried deep within the individual psyche rises to confront the perceiver and distort the vision. What is the truth? Upon hearing the bare outlines of such a case -- no, upon merely learning the race of accused and victim -- a convulsive reaction sets in. ... Racism and sexism and the fight against both converge at the point of interracial rape, the baffling crossroads of an authentic, peculiarly American dilemma." "In the slaveholding South, the lies about revolt and rape by dehumanized black hordes was a classic white male nightmare. The purity of white womanhood, enforced by social mores as compelling as the whip, was as critical a touchstone of white masculinity as the system of slaveholding itself. Aware of his wholesale transgression against the black female slave, which he refused to conceptualize as criminal rape, the slaveholder was eternally vigilant against a reverse of the syndrome. A slaveholder's wife once declared "that she was nothing more than the 'chief slave of the harem' on her husband's plantation. Legal bearer of children, prized decorative ornament, sometime companion, bestowed with the external trappings of privilege but denied real power, the white woman was her husband's choicest piece of property. Valued for her chastity, access to her sexuality was wholly owned by the same white master who could daily violate the sexual integrity of his black females slaves. Chastity of the white woman was a serious matter that the rule of marriage required to ensure legal heirs, just as a corresponding denial of chastity and legal marriage to the black woman gave the slaveholder clear title of ownership of all children born of slaves." "White men, whether they were slaveholders or not, viewed white women as a private fief of less than equal beings. A white woman could not vote, hold office, or sit on a jury; she could not attain a higher education, and she could not own land, slaves or money in her own right after marriage. The highly vaunted pedestal on which she was placed had a hard-rock base of economic dependence, and the fastest way to get knocked off that pedestal was to show an inclination for sexual freedom. Evidence of a white woman's sexual independence was considered a direct challenge to the white man's inviolable holdings, and when a white woman was discovered to have 'had connection' with a black man in voluntary association, the collective white male mind felt it had sustained a property loss." Describing the rape complex in the Reconstruction period from the vantage point of 1941, W.J. Cash (a thoughtful white southerner) had written of 'neurotic old maids and wives, hysterical young girls,' borrowing from a latter-day Freudian perspective. From where had the idea sprung? Four years earlier John Dollard, a Yale professor of psychology, had publlished a well-received appraisal of modern life in the South, Caste amd Class in a Southern Town. In it Dollard quoted verbatim the views of Helene Deutsch, which he claimed to find 'illuminating.' Deutsch, he reported, had analyzed several white Southern women in whom she had found 'marked sexual attraction to Negro men and masochistic fantasies connected with this attraction.' Her blanket indictment followed: 'The fact that the white men believe so reaily the hysterical and masochistic fantasies and lies of the white women, who claim they have been assaulted and raped by Negroes, is related to the fact that they (the men) sense the unconscious wishes of the women, the psychic reality of these declarations, and react emotionally to them as if they were real. The social situation permits them to discharge this emotion upon the Negroes.' And thus we wound up with --- the horrors of the Lynch Era. The battle to combat lynch violence Emmett Till - and the Negro Holocaust Frantz Fanon in his Black Skin White Masks digs into much of the excitement, the taboo, and the sexual power of the attraction between white women and the Black Man. Negroes in the traditional lore of this white underground were thought to have tremendous sexual powers Fanon alludes to the pyschological conditions out of which the Black superiority myth arose (white man's feelings of sexual inferiority) Fanonnotes the deep rooted connection in the collective mind, that the Negro stands for sex "Negroes symbolize the biological ..... he is hot-blooded ...blood is strong ... he is tough" Fanon quotes Michel Cournot, Martinique 1948 "The Black man's sword is a SWORD. When he has thrust it into your wife, she has really "Felt something. It is a revelation. In the chasm that it has left, your little toy is lost. Pump away until the room is awash with your sweat, you might as well just be singing. This is good-by .... Four Negroes with their cocks exposed would fill a cathedral. They would be unable to leave the building until their erections subsided; and in such close quarters that would not be a simple matter." cited by Fanon "For the majority of white men the Negro represents the sexual instinct in its raw state. The Negro is the incarnation of genital potency beyond all moralities and prohibitions. [From this, the white woman comes to] view the Negro as the keeper of the impalpable gate that opens into the realm of orgies, of bacchanals, of delirious sexual sensations." Dialog between two of the characters: White woman tells the Negro: "Oh my God, you are so BLESSED!!" (what? compared to someone else maybe?) The Negro's response: "Hey don't mind me, I can't help it. I'm just a Negro. If I'm endowed, hey, it's a GIFT. You call my masculinity a blessing seems like a curse to me, you know." Fanon writes: A white woman who has had a Negro lover finds it difficult to return to a white man. Or at least it is so believed, particularly by white men Fanon quotes Etiemble: Racial jealousy produces the crimes of racism: To many white men, the black is simply that marvelous 'sword' which, once it has transfixed their wives, leaves them forever transfigured. [the very hyperbole of it makes it potent] Fanon mentions that for whites the mere image of the black athlete has become "singularly eroticized." He says: "There is something in the mere idea, one young [white] woman confided to me, that makes the heart skip a beat." Fanon tells of a white prostitute who told him that in her early days the mere thought of going to bed with a Negro brought on an orgasm. She went in search of Negroes and never asked them for money. "the Negro represents sexual instinct and genital potency beyond all moralities and prohibitions." How can it be wrong when it feels so right. For the white woman, perhaps especially for the white wife, the Negro, in his terrible potency, is the one who "lights up her life." (if this is so, where is the white man? is it over? is he ended, done as a man? No wonder the white man, in his unredeemed condition, is so racist and chauvinistic, so mean to those around him, such a dominator, a bully.) The white wife finds the Negro to be "an intensely exciting sex partner because of his forbiddenness and because of the ease with which she can project onto him her own oedipal fantasies." Frank Petroni speculates in his dissertation as to the seeming unquenchable infatuation of many white girls. (But what about white wives?) Petroni suggests that white girls may pursue Black men because of the "White man's bullying of what he calls HIS woman is really a bullying based on weakness, not strength." However, we now know that white women are needy and for the most part tired of those small penises. They want performance size and movement. Is there some kind of poetic turnaround going on? All through the first three centuries or so (of American history) there was an underlying theme, everything proceeding against the backdrop of what A.W. Calhoun called, "the Master's right of rape." White man 'owned' body (and soul if he could) of every woman, child, man in his domain. Not all of them abused the almost unlimited power they possessed. But some abused that power brutally. Even his own wife and children were not exempt from the power of this domination, legally, socially, politically. But at least his white wife (whether he loved her or ignored her) had status, and standing. At least she had family and kin who cared how she was treated. "The Black folk in his domestic household had no protection. " Yet there was a bitter hypocrisy, a terrible make-believe going on in the minds of the ruling elite. Gunnar Myrdal wrote how "the primary and essential concern of the white man" (and the society he ran, in its official intentions) was to prevent amalgamation. It was an obsession, and a full time preoccupation. Ironically, as Abby Ferber has noted in her discussions of white supremacy, it was a one way street. White man had unlimited access to black females. No such thing the other way around. White woman was chaste, pure, and off-limits to any and all. She alone was required, expected, and forced to remain monogamous in the highest degree. She was the paragon of purity, and all her pampering, all the protection that went into her status, her exalted position on the pedestal, was directed toward the sole aim of her sacred womanhood. Grace Halsell explores the attraction between white women and black men. Halsell interviews a Black woman, Helen Mitchell. Mitchell tells her: White women today are claiming they dig Black Man, but where were they when the Black Man was being brutalized and lynched? White women say they want to help Black Men, that they feel sorry for them. [But] they can't even help their own [white men]. White women should stick with their white men, and teach them to get rid of some of their frustrations and greed, and to love instead of hate. Melba Jenkins (she's black) The white men are afraid that the Black Men are sexually stronger. And I believe they are. And I have had a lot of white girls tell me that in the sex act itself the Black Man stays inside longer. From my own experience I do feel the Black Man is stronger. Rarely will you find a very large sexual organ on a white man Frantz Fanon (Black Skin White Masks: 1967) quotes Michel Saloman as referring to that "aura of sensuality" that a Negro gives off, and as referring to the "prodigious vitality of the black man." My Secret Garden: Women's Sexual Fantasies Nancy Friday explains that in her estimation, while "most white women haven't [actually had interracial sex with a Negro male, in their fantasies they do, and everything that worked against it ever happening adds mileage to the fantasy". While a number of Friday's white correspondents share fantasies involving Negro males, it is the author herself who explores the matter with the most enthusiasm, noting at one point that size is the real power of the black-man fantasy .... The white woman wants to feel more, to have more novelty and experience under her belt, thanks to the life-enhancing mystical cock and promise of the sexy black man .... In fantasy, the 'big' black man promises to take us to that final exploration of sex, the most absolute orgasmic time it is humanly possible to experience. And then, forever after, at least we'll have known what 'it' is 'all about the size.. So to all of u little dick mfrs..pray for rebirth.. LOL For white man it seems like a brooding torment deep in his bones. He has a gnawing guilt, a "certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation" [Hebrews 10: 27]. He expects wrath, just has he deserves the contempt of his wife.
