  To not know whether I find this just plain vile or a better
alternative....  (52 Posts) BigFatLeaf Mon 23-Sep-13 09:54:01
Sensitive content warning.  I do a lot of volunteer work, mostly
with drug addicts who are predominantly young, homeless women
involved in prostitution. In one of my counselling sessions the
other day one of the girls (aged 21) confessed to me that a lot
of the girls who she works with, including herself often lie
about their age to "clients" and say they are 14 it 15 because
they get more money. I was really, really shocked by this as
whilst I know there is a demand for that kind of revolting thing
I didn't realise it was prevalent enough to warrant its own
warped form of special marketing!  She also told me that they
often put on an act of being very naive, scared, afraid and that
they've been forced into it, because apparently this is what the
clients want. The "pimps" apparently often actively encourage
this and the girls are told to "look young" so they get away
with it.  What sick
