Guest Panama Jack Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Not exactly aviation related, but now I am starting to feel old when I say "things weren't like this when I was growing up: Kelowna teens pimped by boyfriends canada.com Tuesday, March 11, 2003 ADVERTISEMENT KELOWNA -- A social worker says some high school girls in Kelowna are being "pimped" by their teenage boyfriends to get money for drugs. Catherine Williams-Jones of the New Opportunities for Women Society says it's happening in at least two Kelowna secondary schools. She says young boys are pimping their girlfriends even though it's against the law. Williams-Jones says it appears to have started as a joke, but it's now providing the boys with drug money. She says the girls end up in misery, suffering from drug addiction and abuse. Social workers say girls as young as 11 are also being lured into the sex trade in Kelowna.
