The reality that 11-year-olds are selling their bodies for money is both chilling and eye-opening, and hits way, way too close to home.

Those girls are working around the clock.Jenee Dardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274216901288021997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457712359004161559.post-60819086844347346312011-04-15T17:45:53.281-07:002011-04-15T17:45:53.281-07:00Jenee, thank you so much for sharing this with me....Jenee, thank you so much for sharing this with me. I never knew this was going on. I want to work with you on ways we can raise awareness about this. No wonder grown men feel like it's open season on young girls--because it is.Christelynhttp://beyondblackwhite.comnoreply@blogger.com
