Texas state law allows minors to be charged with prostitution instead of being provided services, treatment and protection from adult predators.

Recently a 13 year old girl (B.W.) was arrested and convicted of prostitution in Harris County while her 32 year old pimp walked free.

Join GEMS in sending a message to the Harris County D.A.and elected Texas state officials to drop charges against B.W., arrest the pimp and make changes to state laws that children should be protected and NOT sold (or arrested)!
