Child Sex in Atlanta

Atlanta is experiencing two problems with their children, sex for popularity and prostitution. These two problems are very similar but very different. Each problem is happening in different neighborhoods and there are different results to each of them.


1.
In this picture parents and siblings are protesting the purchase of young girls for prostitution. Girls of all ages have been purchased for sexual exploitation.

2.
One of the only ways that has been found to work to keep girls off of the street is to arrest them. Officials can take the girls off of the street and place them in shelters but eventually they will end up back on the streets. This is a battle that was not expected when our laws were made.

In another neighborhood child sex has a whole new problem and ways of solving it.

3.
Teens have been engaging in sexual behaviors to gain popularity and to rid themselves of peer pressure. Not all kids have been taught to practice sex safely. The rise of STDs  in Atlanta is becoming an epidemic in one neighborhood.

4.
In this instance of child sex the parents and community have come together to educate the kids about sex and how to safely practice it. Education is a good way to reduce the epidemic of STDs and prevent teen pregnancy.
