Children should worry about simple things like what flavor ice cream should go with the cake at their birthday party, not sex slavery. I wanted to convey the reality of many children's lives by using the sharp contrast of happy birthdays and disgusting practices. "Growing up in a street community where prostitution is fairly common, a mother sells her daughter without much thought. Girls in Rebecca's neighborhood are considered to be ready for penetration by 6 years old. Stories like this are common everywhere. Be an agent for change where you live."
