A series of films about our lives - now Street Girls
Every day, every night, whatever the weather, there are juvenile prostitutes working on the streets by the city centre of Birmingham. Prostitution is such an open way of life that vulnerable young girls easily get drawn in. Some are only 13 or 14 years old.
Tonight, teenagers like
Lorraine and Tracey explain why they go on the streets and how they survive.
A pimp tells how he lives off the money that his young street girl earns - and how he treats her.
All too often the girls wish that they had not gone 'on the game'. Young runaways find it easy to take to the streets, harder to get away.... Narrator Linda Davidson Producer LOUISE PANTON
