dear morbidsmile, i understand that you think child prostitution is wrong, and it is. I think your comments and facts were quite naiive. It isnt the child choice at all. They have no say in the decision of the sex industry.

these kids dont have a choice. They dont get to decide that. There isnt allways a safe, little "Old MacDonald", friendly farm they can work at and they usually dont accept girls or kids to work anyways. Either way they may not even be allowed to work there!

Exactly... they need to go to school, NOT be having sex.. they benefit their families even more eventually that way"
First of all the kids who we are discussing are usually found in third world countries and such where girls dont get to go to school at all. And no, its not always going to be the smart succeed. The families or the girls themselves need the money, the would not be able to do any thing after they got their education because they just dont have those kinds of oppertunities, this may be their only option.

yea it is wrong, but do they have a choice? No.

many times the brothel owners keep the money and only give them enough to live by and barley that. Its not quite as simple as you get what you deserve.

What kind of parents would allow their children to DIE from a deadly disease??"
there are many answers to that, whether these happen in all the cases or not.
the parents/children are ignorant of these illness and know nothing about the dangers of un-safe sex.
the parents dont care.
there are no parents the kids are orphaned.
the parents have no say in the matter because the kids are owned by the brothels
the parents have no choice or if the do it is quite possibly death.
sorry if this seems harsh to you but i will agree with one thing:
who ever said child prostitution and child porn is freedom of speech is wrong. And You are right morbidsmile, there is allot more at stake than that.
