Psychological, familial, and sexual abuse in children
How might a child become involved in prostitution? Once involved, what are some of the real dangers a child will face? According to the video on the Public Broadcasting Service, a young girl can become involved because she is desperate and has no where else to turn; she may be abused at home, perhaps her father is in prison, her mother is on drugs, she is being abused by her boyfriend, or her older brother is into drug dealing on the streets. The narrator on the PBS program estimates that as many as 300,000 "children" are on the streets every day looking for money through prostitution. They also get hooked up to paying customers through the Internet.
