It's kind of hard out here for a pimp


FOX News: Two teenaged girls were arrested for allegedly pimping other students for prostitution, Phoenix police said. Jazmine Finley and Tatiana Tye, both 16, allegedly used contacts from local schools and their friends to lure other young girls into prostitution, MyFOXPhoenix reported. Investigators said the suspects recruited at least five girls, ages 14 to 17.

This reminds me of something that was going on when I was in High School. A couple of friends started taking NCAA basketball bets. Basically, they were like bookies in training. Kind of like these girls, pimps or "madams" in training. The school found out about it of course and snuffed any chance us teens had of a 10 point teaser. Fact is, I don't think any of us knew what a teaser was back then. This got me thinking though. I know gambling is "illegal" unless you're in Vegas or playing the stock market. But people are going to do it anyway. So if you have a 16 year old owing a bookie money, wouldn't you rather it be some kid in his history class that won't actually kill him? You know, as oppose to someone connected, willing to take a bat to his skull? Yeah. You're right. It doesn't make enough sense to actually turn a blind eye to the whole situation. Just food for thought. 

In these tough economic times, people are making money any way possible. How else would these girls be able to afford their iphones and bullet proof weaves? I have no idea. My question is, how do you prosecute them? Child endangerment? Pimping? Are they children or adults? It's an interesting question. Considering they were pimping out 14 year old girls? Electric chair works for me.
