Child Prostitution

When someone says "Child Prostitution" to you, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Probably a foreign country that is poverty stricken and Isolated from the modern world, right? Wrong. Child and Teenage Trafficking is a problem here in the US just like any other country. And the ages of the children and teens is unbelievable. The demand for Younger and Younger Kids is growing at a rapid rate. Not just the girls, oh no, but boys also.! I, for one, believe that this is sick and horrifying. Prostitution of Minors is Illegal, Lethal, and Traumatizing and in this paper, I shall prove this statement.

According to the article "Children For Sale" by bay fang, there was a reported incident of a 9 year old girl being attacked, raped, and killed. A 9 year old girl! Sick, right? Well, apparently not to the pervert that did it. He, fortunately was caught shortly after the body of the poor little girl was found.

Prostitution, no matter what age, is Illegal all U.S. states, with the exception of Tennessee. FBI Agents, according to the article "Children For Sale" by Bay Fang, are focusing more now than ever on child prostitution. In the article , it states that the punishments for child prostitution, depending on the gravity of the accounts, can be as high as thirty years to life, or as low as five years. An example of this can be seen when reading the afore mentioned article. A man by the name of Jaron Brice,29-also known as "Jay Bird" and "Daddy"- was indicted on 17 accounts of sex trafficking of mionors, and 1 account or murder in the 3rd Degree for intentionally sending a minor to be fatally raped.

There is a fine ling between prostitution and deadly rape. Sometimes prostitution can be used as a formitable weapon. Many girls whom are abducted that are pimped out get "used" so many times that they either die of STD's
