It is a scourge that is gaining ground in France: the underage prostitution would concern between 7,000 and 10,000 young people. The government wants to tackle the problem.
Underage prostitution, which affects all circles, continues to wreak havoc: jup to 10,000 young people would be affected in France. The government intends to fight against the phenomenon, which is constantly increasing. The team of JT de 20 Heures went to meet mothers who are trying to get their daughters out of this cycle.
They are now united under the same roof. But this mother will have had to fight a two-year fight to get out his daughter from prostitution. TO At the time, her 14-year-old child lived in a home in the Paris region, because of serious family problems. She falls under the influence of her first love, who manages to manipulate her into prostitution through Internet ads. “In Airbnbs, if not in hotels and when there was nothing, it was in buildings or in cars“, she says.
“The question of influence is not taken into account at all” by social services, denounces another mother, whose daughter continues to prostitute herself. “It is no longer possible to know and do nothing.” The association “Our Forgotten Teenagers” calls for the creation of new places of reception, more suitable than the centers of social assistance to children. A first unique project in France will see the light of day this month in Lille (Nord).
