Description: "This book explores the problem of street kids in America. Precipitating factors that lead to homelessness are explored. These children often become the victims of sexual exploitation by pimps, prostitution customers, pornographers, and pedophiles. Violence, STDs, and substance abuse frequently result. Of particular interest are laws and programs designed to combat the commercial sexual exploitation of vulnerable youth"--Provided by publisher.
