Nice story…. I’ve entered one bar in more than fifteen years and in the one bar that I entered, found a fourteen year old. Her colleague told me. I actually saw a picture of her dancing in a GoGo bar. Actually make that two around that age. Plus a seventeen year old found and followed me all the way home.
Though this was quite a few years ago.
Of course I’m sure it’s not the norm and modifying or sharing their ID cards did happen. I know because, since I didn’t take advantage of them, they stayed friends with me. I learned a bit about their lives that way and generally tried to help them live better and more stable lives when possible. By having a safe space. I didn’t judge negatively, since I didn’t have to walk in their shoes. I even met their foreign sponsors/boyfriends and kept in touch even when they went home to have children.
For some, they are just meat.
