PART 2 DISCUSSION BOARD:

Below are three of the most common myths regarding Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking in the United States. After reading this book and other materials from this course, how will you respond to others who believe these myths and mention them to you in the future?
The first misconception is that prostitution, even when involving minors, is a victimless crime and therefore, there is no harm associated with it.
Second, there is a popular misconception that minors freely choose prostitution and they retain power and control in the situation.
Another commonly held belief is that prostitution is a glamorous and exciting life which offers wealth or employment to the prostituted child.
