How Do We Handle Our Daughters?

From CNN:

Tatiana Tye and a second 16-year-old girl, Jazmine Finley, were indicted earlier this week by a grand jury, Maricopa County, Arizona, prosecutors said in a statement. Although the girls are juveniles, prosecutors released their names and said they will be tried as adults.

“We have a situation of two girls, 16 years old, who are, in essence, pimps,” Hill said. “And they ran their own brothel.”

Police believe the girls had rented an apartment used solely for acts of prostitution, he said.

Prosecutors, citing a police probable cause statement, said the teenagers recruited girls by telling them of “all the money they would be making. Additionally, they were told that it was better working for them as opposed to male pimps because they would not get beat up.”

Hill said, “I think we were all surprised at, you know, were these 16-year-old girls that were arrested, were they running this business? And the answer is yes, they were.”

In a jailhouse interview with KTVK, Tatiana Tye blamed Finley for introducing her to the world of prostitution, and said she was “a follower, not a leader, following whatever Jazmine does, and those were bad things.”

This is wrong on so many levels. For starters we have to teach our daughters to value their bodies more than they value money. Call it a case of too many Lil Wayne videos or whatever but they have to be reprogrammed to love themselves. What was the home situation of these girls that were recruited? Were they not being shown love at home? Did they have a father in the household to love them and explain what they should expect from a man? We need to teach our young women that money fades away and self worth and self esteem are more beneficial…
