Runaway children often see exploiting themselves as the only option to make money while living on the streets. Since child prostitution is so closely related to the issue of runaway children, we need to explore the preventative measures for both. The key to prevent children from becoming runaways or child prostitutes lies in education. Parents need to be aware of and knowledgeable about how to communicate with their children. An open line of communication between parents and children is one of the most important ways to keep children from running away. Anyone who has been a parent recognizes that this task is not as easy as it may seem; therefore, we encourage parents to utilize parenting classes and counseling services offered by state and local governments. Unfortunately, a large majority of children who run away are escaping homes where they are exploited, neglected, or abused by their parents. It is in these homes that the parents are unable to prevent children from running away, since they are inevitably the reason for the child's desire to leave. children, child, prostitution, programs, need, about, professionals, parents, educate, community, prevent, dangers, streets, services, runaways, prostitutes, paul, away, awareness, aware, teaching, since, senior, running, runaway, provide, problem, prevention, preventative, measures, make, local, lisa, junior, increase
