Children In The Game

by Ross Macinnes

The average age of a child prostitute is only 13 1/2 years old. They come from all walks of life and all income levels. They have been coerced into a life of degradation and humiliation by adults whose only interest in them is the economic profits the child can generate. For many people the dark side of society is one where no one whishes to walk, and fewer still spend their lives on the streets of a major city, seeking out and rescuing these children. This book takes the reader into the lives of five child prostitutes. How they arrived "in the game" and what they underwent. While devastating in its realism and shocking in descriptive narration, we gain an insight into the deadly world of children who have been enslaved by predators. But the book also offers hope. There are proved methods of contact and recovery. We are in a war for the lives of these children, and the author shows us how to win that battle. The goal is realistic, achievable and very very worthwhile.

I read this book several years ago for a forensic nursing course. It was eye-opening and incredibly disturbing ,worth reading open her eyes to the horrible world of child exploitation.
