Atlanta Escorts: Cherie Miller On Stopping the Exploitation of Children

Posted on August 9th, 2011 in Atlanta escorts

Most suburbanites would be shocked to realize that it’s our daughters who are being enticed by pimps bent on exploiting their youth. Girls, like the one from Wisconsin, are being shuffled across the United States and the world to become employed in the sex trade.

“If jail is the only option available to police officers, the girl will be pushed through the criminal justice system and will quickly find herself back under the control of her pimp,” said Jessica L. Smith, communications coordinator for Wellspring Living in Tyrone, Ga. “Taking a girl to prison doesn’t end the cycle. Decriminalizing the girls and providing a viable way out of the life does.”
Wellspring Living provides a home, instead of a prison cell to restore and rehabilitate girls between the ages of 12 and 17 who have been trafficked. “Approximately 100 girls are providing sex to strangers every night in Georgia,” said Smith. “The pimps prey on the vulnerable girls who may have been runaways or come from an alcohol or drug-addicted home. The girls aren’t making a choice, but become involved in the sex trade out of necessity.”
