    How is baby doing? I hope she is getting to her goal. What happened to her as a kid is heartbreaking and I wanted to hug her when she said 3 years old. I can't imagine the burdens she carries because of it and none of this was her fault.
    If she ever stumbles on this page and reads this. I have the faith you can get out of the lifestyle. You have the strength inside ..I can see it. Stay safe and I know a lot of people are rooting for you, myself included.

      Probably because he was nice to her (I did the same thing when talking to escorts on telegram) and I think that’s what most prostitutes/escorts are looking for is just someone to be nice to them since I’m sure they get called every name in the book by John’s or people in general
      I’ve come across some prostitute(s) when i would go out and about and I’ve said hi to most of them, they didn’t say hi back (which is understandable) they don’t know what kind of intentions I have since I’m sure they come across the “nice” guy but only to be screwed over by him or r@ped
      Just be nice cause you could come across that one person who needs just someone to talk to and the advice you give them will help in the long run

    My sister was brought into prostitution through trafficking and now does it for herself. She won’t leave the lifestyle because of the money and brainwashing. For the pimp to say no one is hurt by it, that’s a lie. She was supposed to be playing college softball on a nearly full scholarship but ruined her life for someone that “loved her”.

Idk his upcoming in life but it’s but if he was a well off kid it’s good to see he’s not judgmental in a negative way towards different lifestyles. I even think he did get emotional too n that’s why he cut the scene. Protect my guy at all cost.

    Dude that called himself a "part time pimp" is not one. It's a full time, 24/7 life. There's no dipping your toes in that water.
    I love the first woman he talked to. She kept it real. I love that she looks out for her kids, recognizing that it's hard to be both a mother and a prostitute. Some pull it off. She also didn't play the victim. "I wanted to see what this life's about and I liked it." This has been going on for a long long time.

You have those experiences that give you insight that not a lot of musicians have. So if you do make it, at the end of the day, all your hardship will have been for a reason.

    Idk why there isnt more content like this. Covering real life things that actually matter and affect countless people, this is REAL JOURNALISM. Not all this media crap that floods the internet with "this famous person did what?!" Or "watch this rich guy do something that doesnt matter or contribute to anything but its cool cause hes rich and famous. Society needs people like this man who help other people understand other peoples point of view. I see those people in a completely different light now than I did before watching these videos. And i think with more people being aware that these things go on in the world they're in, than more people will maybe care and maybe some of these unfortunate circumstances could go away for some people.
