Excellent youth organizing to report first in this week’s news updates. Affordable housing for families means less homelessness and less youth running away from crowded apartments of two or more families sharing one place. And that means less youth in the sex trade. Youth in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn are organizing against gentrification and expressing their ideas for change.
In the same issue of Citylimits.org, NYC is conducting a first comprehensive survey of homeless youth. This report talks about the complications of finding homeless youth and what better information will mean for the community.
Here in Wisconsin, a Racine man is charged with felony counts of soliciting a child for prostitution when he offered money to teen girls for sex acts.
In Virginia, news reports note that in a shooting of a man who refused to pay for exotic dancers to perform at his place of work, one of the dancers was 15 years old.
Lastly, a former police lieutenant has many charges against him, including child pornography and sexually exploiting a 15 year old boy.
