Good one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way of life for those girls. Give birth to kids repeatedly and none will ever be yours???
Hhhhnnmm
These things just need regulation, let's not be narrow in our view. They thrive because there's a need. We should address these needs in a structured manner rather than criminalizing those that are attending to these needs.
DeleteGood one. Those girls should be sent back to their parents
