Takeesha: Hunts Point, Bronx

    Prev Next

    Takeesha asked what I was doing in the neighborhood. I explained to her and then she asked to have her picture taken. I then asked her how she wanted to be described.

    "As what I am. A prostitute, a mother of six, and a child of God"

      As an American journalist, living in the Philippines 3 years, I've seen mothers who encourage their 15 and 16-year-old daughters to become "dancers," or rather, "prostitutes," in Japan. That is the the way to get rich and feed the f amily. T he young child-girls pr actic erotic dancing in the house and their baby sisters at age six follow every move. Prostitution beats education by a thousand miles cuz it's easy to pay for...just lay down, close your etes and spread your legs. It's the way of their future. That is my book.

      The u.s. Navy created a booming business in the Philippines..More than 400,000 prostitutes seviced our sailors. But, no w they are really cheap whores working for $20 for all night wih a man in a room in any pl ave he wants to take her...no protection and no holes barred cuz money makes the poor women crawl to their masters. These women you pictur have a great life compared to filipinas who have no way out and no one anywhere to help because family needs the money for the food from their work. If they stop, their children and family st arve. picture that my friend before you pity these women. Here, a can of sardines a day i s food for the family to share.
