This was made last Wednesday, after I'd watched the documentary Very Young Girls. This documentary really bothered me by its content. The subject matter was underage street prostitution. The average age of a prostitute on the street is 13. This bothers me so much because if that's the average, that means there are girls out there who are even younger than that. And the worst part about it is that more often than not these girls have been threatened, kidnapped, or have no where to hide from their pimp. So if they do get arrested, the police system charges them and when they get out, their pimp finds them and brings them back. Right now there is a new program within the FBI called the Innocence Lost National Initiative that is trying to hep target these pimps who force young girls to work for them.
