	Prostitution of children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The prostitution of children is seen as forming part of the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), and is sometimes connected to the trafficking of children for sexual purposes.
		Children are often pushed by social structures and individual agents into situations in which adults take advantage of their vulnerability and sexually exploit and abuse them.
		The prostitution of children is usually conducted in particular environments, such as from brothels, or bars and clubs, or homes, or particular streets and areas (usually in social downtrodden places).

	CSEC Definitions: Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC)
		The prostitution of children is closely connected to the trafficking of children for sexual purposes and child pornography, while child sex tourism generally falls into the category of prostitution.
		The prostitution of children is usually conducted in particular environments, such as from brothels, or bars and clubs, or homes, or particular streets and zones.
		Children also engage in prostitution, however, when they exchange sex outside these locations and in return not only for basic needs such as accommodation, food, clothing, drugs or safety, but also for favours such as higher grades at school or extra pocket money for desired consumer goods otherwise out of their reach.

		Children drawn into the net of prostitution are for the most part hidden from public scrutiny, either physically (they are not placed on display as are their adult counterparts), or under the guise of being of age, through the falsification of identification papers; (b) It is mobile.

		The repatriation of children to their country of origin should also be safeguarded by cooperation between the relevant agencies so that the children are not further subjected to humiliating and degrading treatment or abuse.

		If a child born to a prostitute is ultimately adopted, it is likely the termination of parental rights by the state occurred after some time frame during which the child had been removed from the home and placed in foster care.
		In a study of children born to teenage prostitutes, 38 of 55 infants had been placed in the protective custody of the state with most of the babies being referred to protective services either prior to the child's birth or at the time of delivery.

	TakingITGlobal - Panorama - Prostitution, Danger, Causes
		Prostitution is generally defined as performing, offering, or agreeing to perform a sexual act for any money, property, token, object, article, or anything of value.
		1 Prostitution of children; therefore, is defined as the sexual exploitation of a child for remuneration in cash or in-kind, usually but not always organized by an intermediary such as a procurer, family member, pimp, or madame.

	Children and Prostitution - Part 2
		Thus, for example, where women and children are largely economically dependent on men, a girl's passage to womanhood may take place far earlier, at a chronological age fairly close to the average age of menarche for her social group.

		Children's purity and their innocence are directly tied to their ignorance and powerlessness and all are seen as essential components of childhood.
