Peer Presentations

I chose the presentation on "The Effects of Child Prostitution on Society". This group talked about how approximately 100,000 children each year between the ages of 9-17 years old with 13 being the average age are being kidnapped and forced into sex trafficking, sex slaves and sex rings throughout the world. The children primarily come from dysfunctional families from popular cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York City and in other countries in South America, Asia, majority of Europe and West Canada. I chose to write about this particular presentation because child prostitution is such a non exploited problem and because its such a low offense with no filed complaints and most times police cooperation because they enjoy the young children. You just never hear anything about it while these children lives are being screwed leaving them the leading problems of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, infertility, STD's, murder, pregnancy and suicide . This is a serious problem because its effecting our generation and there is no major help to stop these people behind this.I feel like the same way people support the HIV/AIDS campaign, world hunger and natural disaster relief funds is the same amount of work and aid we need against child prostitution because this is our future.The only thing that has come remotely close is in 2000 President Clinton signed the Trafficking Protection Act. But alternative ways we can help is reaching the National Human Trafficking Resource Center 18003737888, checking the offender tracking list online, urge the revaluation of laws regarding the top. And to continue to educate our peers like this group has done and report any type of suspicious activity you assume or know to be child prostitution.
