The below paragraph came from the link you provided.
Children are recruited by pimps in arcades, malls, entertainment centers, at tourist attractions and concerts. The pimp seduces a new recruit with the lure of wealth and the luxury of designer clothes, fancy cars, and exclusive nightclubs. Pimps move from city to city looking for children who are easy prey: alone, desperate, and alienated. Once he moves a child from her hometown into a strange city, the pimp can easily force her to work as a prostitute. Thousands of children are victimized by this horrible con game every year. Child prostitution is an immense and devastating problem that nobody wants to recognize, nobody wants to talk about, and everyone wants to cover up. Child prostitutes are not only abandoned by their parents, but by the social services system as well.
While many people may believe child prostitution is the work and fault of the pimps who do the recruiting, I am much more inclined to lean towards parents, adult relatives and society at large as those responsible for laying the foundation for childhood prostitution. Pimps, as evil and amoral as they are, merely take advantage of an already tragic situation.
Thank you for bringing this horror story to our awareness.
