What is the answer to teens who go into Prostitution and never go home.........?

Question

Must the laws be more stringent or what.................

Answer 1

Normally when someone in their teens engages in prostitution there is a serious underlying problem that exists.

The "fix" is not changing or adding a law because, as others have also said, those laws already exist.

Detection or identification of those underlying problems would help those who resort to leaving home then engaging in this act.

Statistics will often show that juveniles engaging in prostitution do so after being physically or sexually abused in the home or by close family or friends.

Schools and other social services are important to intervention!

Also, the old saying "It takes a village to raise a child" is applicable here as family, teachers, clergy, and even neighbors need to be vigilant for signs of depression and other tale-tell signs of abuse.

Asking the question in the first place is a good start showing your concern.

Best wishes!

Answer 2

Making more and more laws that regulate morality will not stop behavior such as this. You can not legislate morality. Sometimes it is the parents - generally too strict is the problem, then the teen rebels against the too strict policies and runs off to do as she wishes.
Sometimes its the teen - maybe she grew up poor and never wants to be poor again, or maybe she didnt get enough attention when young, well she gets it now.
Sometimes its society- a teen runs from an abusive or nasty homelife, friends say come on the street with us, parents say come home, society says "we will offer you no help", and when you have no money, food or shelter then the money made by prostitution sounds good.

Answer 3

This is yet another government intrusion into the private lives of families. The law is not going to help teens get off the street, regardless of the "strength" of a law. The teen has to be motivated on their own to get themselves off the street. The families of that particular troubled teen should play a direct role in getting through their issues that intially made the teen run away, and get involved in prostitution in the first place. Resolving those issues together, as a family, will help bring those teens home. Law enforcement should only play a supporting role in getting them home.

Answer 4

If we could determine what makes teens, both girls and boys, run away from home, then we might be able to at least slow down, if not stop teenage prostitution. In every city there are people who are on the lookout for runaways, to turn them into prostitutes. After some time in the life, these kids become hardened, and maybe too ashamed to return home. Leaving most parents to wonder and worry about them.

Answer 5

I think the question should be "Why do teenagers go into Prostitution and never go home". Many of the teen prostitutes were sexually abused by a family member. Hence, the reason for never going home. That kind of trauma lowers their self esteem. The horror of re-living that experience and the shame surrounding it keeps them from reporting the abuse. Educating teens and giving them a non-embarrassing avenue to report such abuse and a safe haven to go to might have some effect in reducing the need to "get away".

Answer 6

I think it's more of an education issue with the kids. It needs to be headed off before it happens. Show the kids what it's like before it happens. They need to know that there are other options if their home life is the situation that puts them there. They need to be able to trust someone in the community for whatever reason they need. Once they are on the street, it's too late. Maybe one that's been on the streets and wants to change could help by talking to those at risk.

Answer 7
