Anyone know anything about the girl forced to be a provider here?

[ICEY_CAKEZ6969]

I seen bits it on the news....probally going to get real tough here

[LilRed]

I saw it yesterday. The girl was a runaway and the jerk picked her up and was keeping her hostage in a hotel off Corporate and making her see men. Apparently he had other girls too. He was preying on runaways specifically. Because she is a minor, no one will know if they saw her or not. We'll never see her picture, and he could have used fake pics in his post because of the fact that she was being looked for.

You can't blame LE for being concerned about stuff like this. I'm a Mom too and would have been just as infuriated as her Mom. This is an adult profession and no child should be forced into it. PERIOD!

I am sure it will be a little tough around here for a while. But part of me is glad to see them get creeps like him off the streets. We just have to stay alert and be a bit more cautious. But we should be doing this already.

The one that really pisses me off is the phony ass mother she acts likes she really cares but why was the girl in a group home to begin with.

The girl probably never stood a chamce to begin with.
I just hope she comes through this deal a little smarter and even tougher if she is to have a chance at a normal life.

You might be right.... but it's possible that you may be a wee bit premature in your criticism.... there are several potential reasons why a group home may have been a better place than where the mother is.

just sayin'....

You are correct sir,

But I would bet my house that the mother cares more about something or someone more than she does her daughter.

In my experiences they don't put children in group homes if they have loving parents and a stable home to live in.

[Josey Minx]

^ True.

The only people who I know who have ended up in group homes did not come from stable parents. Fantastic parents are communicating with their kids enough to know long before they develop serious addictions to narcotics.

This is so sad to read. It's pretty likely she will continue on a bad path.

I must bite my tongue. I thought Ms Wicker was over sensationalizing, but she is right. This *ish* is happening in our backyard! *SMMFH*

[DallasRain]

this is sad & makes me angry at the same time!! There are many reasons things like this happen......

as always,our goal is to just stay safe!!!

[Miss J]

I'll weigh in...for arguments sake, as if it is really mine or anyone else’s business as to why this 15 year old was in a group home.

It is NOT always the parents fault....some kids simply act stupid!
Some kids get caught up in peer pressure etc, and make poor decisions.
Some kids act out for attention, even when they get plenty of it.
Some kids are born with emotional issues...bipolar etc.
Some kids act out because they have difficulty adjusting to the loss of a parent via death, divorce, job, etc.

Point is, that although very often many parents these days are more consumed with status, themselves, their personal life etc, that they fail to see their children or understand their children’s needs... some parents actually do see and care about their children, yet the kids stay in trouble anyway. In which case these parents are forced to place their kids in a variety of group like facilities to give them a new opportunity or simply try to protect other siblings in the home from the child that is acting nutty. Some kids grow up in very stable and loving homes, but for whatever reason they still act stupid, and so the courts place them in these homes.
Whatever the reason, I don't think anyone of us is in the position to judge that child’s parents, when we don't know the whole story. Like any story, there's his version, her version and then there's the truth....In this case, there's the kids version, the parents version, and then there's the truth.

Who here knows the "truth?"

Next point:
I agree with LilRed, this is an adult business.

I am truly saddened to hear that a 15 year old girl (a baby) has been forced into selling herself when she is too young to even know what she is doing. This lifestyle should be a choice, in which case it can be great fun.
When a child is "forced" it's not fun, and it will carry deep emotional wounds for this child.

* Shame on the pimp for selling her!
* Shame on the guy so jacked up, that he would actually pay for & have sex w/a child! He is NO gentlemen!

[LilRed]

I have three grown children who I did my best to teach right from wrong. Two of them have never been in trouble a day in their life. My son, on the other hand, had a bad problem of stealing. This was not because of something I taught him or because he was in a bad home. At 15 I had him booked into juvenile detention and placed in a boys home in hopes that he would learn his lesson before he reached adulthood. He hated me for a while but it was for his best interests. He is now 22 and back at home with me jail free.

Like J said, it isn't always because of the parents wrong doing that lands a kid in trouble.

[bodilly]

I don't disagree with anything Giz Miss J and Red posted and I could easily be completely wrong as I often am.

After watching the clip of the mother I will still bet my house that if you went to White Castle and looked the mother up you will find a boyfriend a bottle or a crack pipe that she cares more about than her daughter when the cameras aren't around

[deadpool]

Someone put an alert about a girl stealing money from hobbiest by having her aunt come in the room and saying she was 15 i saw this story on the news and was wondering if they were connected.

Some people are just really sick in the head... poor girl
