I know there's a lot of San Diegans here, maybe you guys know something about it.
Border Field State Park "Women, Children Raped In County's 'Most Dangerous Area'":
http://www.10news.com/news/21646903/detail.html
These rumors have been going on for years, but there's never been any evidence or investigation. If this happens as often as they say it does, why has nobody come forward about it? Why has there been no investigation? If you walk through Border Field Park you do see a ton of underwear and pants strewn all over the place, if it isn't true who's placing them there and why? And if it is, why has there been no investigation?
The video seems highly sensationalized and looks like a grab for ratings. She did not need to wear a bullet proof vest, it's just the frikkin' border.
The women and their families give their life savings to human smugglers
It's the border to San Diego,
you don't need to be smuggled in! The whole thing makes no sense.
Also:

Because immigrants are clearly drug traffickers who are also in the habit of raping 12 years olds to death.
Even if it's true (which I doubt), that is a crappy article. The bulk of the info comes from Carl Braun of the "Border Patrol Auxiliary", which "assists" the actual Border Patrol. Then there's one claim that's attributed to "authorities," and a quote from someone else that sounds only peripherally related to the topic of the article and taken out of context. The bulletproof vests thing is dumb IMO.
It's even poorly copyedited. "It is so dangerous 10News crews had to put on bulletproof vests before entering the area near Boulevard."

It looks like all they do is call the Border Patrol (if even that, I can't find anything that says they do field work) if they see something suspicious and have no actual authority over anything. o_O
It says they are in "the recruitment and fund raising phase" of their project.
I'm originally from San Diego (Chula Vista, actually) and while I was stationed there, Border Park wasn't on the black list (list of places where you're not allowed to go while inthe miltary for various reasons. Punishments can include a stern talking to, all the way up to non-judical punishment).
