Unfortunately, the buying and selling of children here in Georgia is a very lucrative business. It harms children of all races and socioeconomic classes. The internet and websites such as Craigslist, has made this problem even more pervasive.
Current research commissioned by the Governor’s Office for Children & Families shows that over 400 adolescent girls are being exploited each month in Georgia on the streets, through escort services, with johns at major hotels, and online. More adolescent girls in Georgia are harmed by prostitution each month than are killed in car accidents each year. See the latest count here.
Research recently commissioned by the A Future. Not A Past. Campaign revealed that 7,200 men are both knowingly and unknowingly purchasing sex from adolescent girls each month in Georgia – about 300 each day.
