I am struck by a few seeming contradictions. #1 In the article she says that her and a few non-crack-heads started up their own "service." Later you delve into her drug abuse. Maybe the fact that her drug/s of choice isn't/aren't crack is a properly split hair but I'd say not. #2 all the talk about abuse does not coincide with the trivial motives given for engaging such work. #3 the contradiction between the story leading to a halfway house and talking about getting a girl out of it, when all the while she has every intention of going right back to it (as evidenced by her cited blog posts arguing for legalization and the lack of any plans for when she gets out.) #4 would be the fact that the article simultaneously trivializes sex work and sex workers and yet attempts to confront the serious realities that lead to and surround "sex work."

Perhaps legalization and regulation are the answer, but that wont fix the broken foster care system nor domestic violence ergo wouldn't have helped.
