Wasn't it stated on the six o'clock news that this young woman was incarcerated at a very early age for another crime? Around the age of 16, I believe? Most prostitutes are victims of sexual abuse at an early age. I'm wondering if she was sexually abused while incarcerated at such an early age and from this sprung a life of prostitution? This is a sad case. But somewhere deep in this young woman's psych, I see someone who is angry and hurt and paying back society for possibly hurting her and not protecting her at an early age, even if it only hurts her in the end. In fact, I've witnessed this same quality in both young men and women who are introduced to the penal system at a very early age, where they are likely to be abused by incompetent and ill trained individuals who prey on children others who are vulnerable and under their power. They come out angry at society and to commit even worse and more violent crimes. Introducing young people to the penal system doesn't rehabilitate them. It destroys them. Then at some point they are released back into society where there's no telling how that anger and hurt will manifest itself and at what time it might just explode. Just one tragedy after another, compounding.
