Books like The invisible children by Gitta Sereny


Gitta Sereny's book brings to light the hidden world of child prostitution in America, England and West Germany. Drawing from two years of extensive interviews with child prostitutes, their families, pimps, lovers, teachers, psychologists and police, Sereny presents the detailed stories of ten girls and two boys who have fled their homes and turned to prostitution. The narrative interweaves the author’s observations with the voices of the children themselves, who candidly discuss their homes, their pimps, the initiation into prostitution and their feelings about sex and their futures. The book seeks to illuminate the reality and prevalence of child prostitution and why these children remain invisible in society.
