An article in yesterday?s paper el CaribeCDN addresses the issue of youth prostitution in Santiago (and some regions in the North) in parks and other public places. Dominican authorities started a rescue program for ?girls? (ages 10-14 yrs) that includes medical & educational assistance.
Twenty-three sex works were arrested in parks and public places (fifteen Haitian and eight Dominican).
According to the article:
----el programa comenz? con las menores que ofrec?an sexo a conductores y transe?ntes en los sem?foros, parques y otros lugares p?blicos.
?The program began with minors who offer their services to motorists, passersby at traffic lights, parks and other public places?.
----Beato deplor? que adultos practiquen sexo con ni?as de diez a catorce a?os y les advirti? de que de ser sorprendidos en actos sexuales con menores se expondr?n a severas penas.
?Beato deplored that adults have sex with young girls between ten and fourteen and warned that if caught in the act with minors will face severe penalties as per the Appeals Court for young girls, boys and adolescents".
---- muchos padres de las ni?as prostituidas tienen conocimiento de los actos de sus hijas, pero que no las corrigen porque llevan dinero a sus casas.
"Many of the parents of these girls are of aware what?s going on but don?t act upon it (correct it) because they bring money into the home".

Do you think this crack down will mitigate the problem?
Do you think the educational & medical assistance will help these young girls?
