And I know you're not saying that "it doesn't count" (?) if a 12 yr old "only does it once or twice". Are you?
No. I was responding to those saying "100,000 isn't believable." I was trying to point out that 100,000 doesn't mean that 100,000 teens set up in brothels or walked the street each year.
Those kids who did it once for a thrill (or a $500 purse) and those runaways who did it once or twice are among the 100,000. It counts.
