Read all about it This is one of the most depressing things I've read. I remember the last time I saw the stomach-turning sight of a very dazed and stoned prostitute. I felt a wave of gratitude that whatever it was in this woman's past, a past likely much darker and more traumatizing than simple drug addiction, it wasn't my past. I had the good fortune to avert the horror which leads to a person such a life. I think too often we dismiss them, and the reason for the state of their current lives as drug addiction, but I know and have known a lot of drug addicts, and nary a one became a street prostitute. For those who do stumble into that life, sure, that's where it ended. Drug addiction, prostitution. But where did it start? Reading this article, I think, Jesus Christ, what lies in store for these children? Their parents, every adult in their such young lives has sold them into sexual slavery, how can they recover? This is a rare time you'll see Michela say, dear god, just pray for these pour souls, and the others like them who have not been rescued.
