Police say teenage girls now pimps
Last Updated Wed Jan 30 12:45:55 2002
SASKATOON - Saskatoon police are cracking down on a disturbing trend. An increasing number of
teenage girls are forcing other girls to work for them as prostitutes.

Four girls appeared in a Saskatoon youth court this week. The youngest one was only 13.

Police say the girls used to be prostitutes themselves. Now they are making other girls do the same work for them.

This perhaps ties into Michele Landsbergs columnstory

quote:
Maybe the learning curve wasn't steep enough. Conservative media practically licked their chops at the chance to push the idea that "girls are just as violent as boys." (Not really: The numbers are minuscule, but rising.) It must have seemed to them like a wonderful chance for a sly jab at the claims of the women's movement. But the coverage stopped there. In all the lurid news stories, did you see any about the causes of girls' violence or how it might be prevented?

Now that women are doing it, we should see a real crackdown.

I told my friend about this, since she heard about something like this happening in Winnipeg a few years back. Her reaction: " What do you think Maddams are."

I was thinking - isn't Amway run in a similar fashion? That the way you make your money is to get people selling and getting a peice of their commision?
