Some excerpts from the first article:

... B.W. said that after she ran away she moved in with a 32-year-old man she called her "boyfriend." By the time she was arrested, she had "used a variety of illegal drugs, acquired several sexually transmitted diseases, and had two abortions." Cops never investigated the "boyfriend." ...

... "If juveniles are immune from prosecution for prostitution, pimps would be encouraged to seek out juveniles to act as their prostitutes since there would be no criminal liability for the prostitute herself," prosecutors argue. ...

Kung iisipin, di malayo na mangyari (o nangyayari na) yan dito sa Pilipinas. Parusahan man ang lahat ng batang involved sa kriminalidad, meron't meron paring taong tutulak sa kanila para gawin to. Bakit kailangang parusahan ang mga bata dahil lang ba sa lusot sila sa kulungan kung sila ang ginagamit?! Kahit pumayag pa ang bata sila pa rin ang biktima.

    tingnan nyo mag tol kung gaano ka tanga ang judicial system ng amerika...bakit yung bata ang paparusahan mo, di yung bugaw ang hanapin mo at yun ang parusahan mo matindi, tingnan natin kung may bugaw pa na mag hahahanap ng menor de edad para gawing prosti.....
