Even today most law enforcement once the young person is processed during their fiirst offence is turned over for rehabilitation. My question for this particular 15 year old is that she (apparently) ran away from a group home (could she had done this before?) is she still a victim...I don't think so, I believe that at this point she wilfully sought this out, and should be dealt with according to the current laws of prostitution, and this is what I believe some of these groups are calling legal prostitution.

Konop,

If there is no support system codified in the law that Unterman wants passed, then your “heart in the right place” isn’t going to serve those victims any good, and they may end-up being treated worse.
