Broken childhoods in Europe – Part 3

This article is a continuation of ‘Broken childhoods in Europe – Part 2’.

Noa Ovadia, Elem voluntary, it kicks the streets of Tel Aviv in search of children to attend. And find them. Are parks like Hashmal, south of the Israeli capital, sitting on a bench, waiting deals to go after a hedge, cheap sex that does not know rickety
pension.

They are in bars and discos, some clients and others lurking out with your friends, yet innocent, about to fall into the network of adults who pass your business cards printed on metal (ideal for cutting lines of cocaine) or lighters with contact numbers
painted. "Call me, you’ll like." Are online, in forums and chat rooms, looking for "boyfriends" who "give their heart." On the beach, showing hours in a swimsuit. At bus stations, waiting to the last traveler urgent.

More and more colorful as well, because they are smaller: according to the Government, if in the past decade the average age of prostituted children between 13 and 14 years, today is down to 11 and 12 .

David K., a police officer in Tel Aviv, recalls an exceptional case, the two sisters, and Botum Channary that one day I saw on the street, held hands and said, "Help" . Thus came the horror of this former child prostitution traffic cop. And that has dedicated
his life since then.

The sisters arrived from Laos in 2008, daughters of an immigrant who just escaped from prostitution, the woman had been working for nine years. I wanted a better future for their daughters, but on arriving at Haifa fell into new networks of pimps. She and
her daughters. Small began making visits to homes of customers with just five to seven years.

They have not left behind depression, silences, night terrors, infections … Just have passed the stage of addiction: his mother injected with tranquilizers in order to transfer from floor to floor.

Today, prostitution annually generates 476 million in Israel.
