Pimps actively seek and recruit very young girls to work the sexual marketplace.
Kept penniless and watched constantly, it's virtually impossible for the girls to escape from pimps' merciless control and domination. Now, degraded, beaten and terror-stricken she has nowhere to turn, except to her pimp. Master manipulators, pimps are skillfully able to take advantage of the vulnerability of these children. When children call the hotline, a trained counselor is ready to assist. Children seeking shelter are kept on the phone until we have a taxi pick up the youngster and bring her or him into our shelter home.
