>>>Have you ever read the novel The Godfather? Don Corleone's consigliere, Tom Hagen, makes a trip out to Hollywood to meet with the big movie producer. As he's a bit early for his meeting, Hagen witnesses the departure of a perfectly beautiful little girl with smudged lipstick and dissheveled appearance in the company of her mother who shoots Hagen a proud, defiant look.>>>
I haven't read the novel, what is this supposed to mean?
I mean to provide a reference from popular culture to a practice, i.e., parents pimping their children out to pedophiles, that an author, Mario Puzo, included in a fictional work drawn largely from real life events.
