I am not sick. I see reality!
The decline in morality is equal to the decline of the two-parent home! We live in a different world, today!

CLEVELAND -- Four people convicted of leading a 13-year-old girl into prostitution were in court Monday to face their sentence, reported NewsChannel5's Joe Pagonakis.
The young victim, who is now 15, explained how her life went terribly wrong.
She was just 13 years old when Anthony Freeman (pictured, right) promoted her as a prostitute. Freeman was sentenced to four years in prison on four counts of promoting prostitution.
Katlin Sender was convicted of being the girl's chauffeur, and was sentenced to two years probation.
Police said Sender would drive the juvenile to locations like Cleveland's downtown Holiday Inn.
The 13-year-old was paid $180 for a half hour by men like Cecil King, who tried to fight back tears as he was given three years probation for compelling prostitution.
The teenager cried when she learned that King would not get jail time.
Police said King found the ad for the escort service in Scene Magazine.
The young girl had advice for other girls: "Please do not do what I did because it's a frightening thing to do … they could rape you, they could do anything to you."
The 15-year-old is receiving counseling. She said she turned to a life of prostitution because she didn't have a father figure while growing up.
Her father spent seven years in jail, and when she had a falling out with her mother she says she had nowhere else to turn.
There is a fourth person in this case, Michelle Langer, who will be sentenced next month.
One of my few complaints about FR... someone, somewhere, will always blame the victim.
There's always one moron in every group.

Yup!!!
No, actually, I think it's probably your fault!
You're talking to yourself?!
LOL!
AAAHHHHHH!!!! How much ya lookin for?
I think the guys should be under the jail, but the girl is not always innocent!
I wish it was always black and white, but there are lots of shades of gray!

You are plain sick if you blame a 13 year old girl alone on the streets handled by sick perverts. You think your daughter is immune? You are wrong and sick.
My sister went to visit a friend living in Southside,Chicago. They went to a club and was pretty shocked at the pre-teens at the club being mauled by older guys. If you grow up around people who think this is normal, you'll think there's nothing wrong with it when in fact it is, and older scum is taking advantage of that ignorance (R.Kelly!).
There are three or four on this thread.
Ooooooooops... that was a VERY badly phrased request for how much money you wanted...
:-(
How cute.
Yep it was a pathetic sight she said. I've seen it in how grown men are oggling really young girls. One day a girl was walking with her mother and she was wearing a short frilly skirt. A grownassed man looked up under her skirt and screamed at him, sick f*ck what are you are looking at? He shot out of the store like his a$$ was on fire.
Oh how sick!!! There are websites where "parents" sell non-pornographic home videos, knowing that perverts will gobble them up.
Yep, I am sick of moralists, with only one note to play! You only read a newspaper account. You read what they wished you to know. There is much more unknown!
Many 13 yr old girls are not all that innocent, circa 2005. Some still get sheltered, but many, more than they admit, are involved in all sorts of sexual promiscuity, perversion, and play.
I guess I must have been exposed to too much reality... I've had the opportunity to corral five children into adulthood! Oldest is a cop, next a school teacher, then two mommies/homemakers, and a 10th grade daughter... must be doing something right!
