In all, 325 children from 52 countries have been identified by government agencies in the latest survey - from March 2007 to February 2008 - as potential victims of trafficking, with many brought into the UK for activities including prostitution, illegal labour, forced marriage and illegal adoption. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/25/child-trafficking-in-britain-survey
