Young People To Sell Themselves In Social Media
SOCIAL MEDIA – The social media lures young male and female to sell themselves online.
We can’t deny that sometimes we thought of doing some bad things because we’re so desperate to have or achieve it. But we always have to remember that doing such comes with a consequence.
Risking yourself or anyone’s life may hurt your family or loved ones, therefore, we should work hard in a clean or proper way.
Based on a report from Inquirer, the social media lures people even the young boys and girls to engage in sexual intercourse for money.
A 29-year-old Cebuano named Rachel said she is using Facebook to sell herself. The single mother said she’s doing it to feed her three children.
“I’m thankful for Facebook because I get more clients and my income is enough to support my three children,” she said.
Facebook called these users as “walker” or online intercourse worker and “taker for the person who is willing to pay the “walker.” Rachel uploads daring photos of her and informs her page visitors that she’s available for intercourse in exchange of money.
She started selling herself online last year and disclosed that she usually get 7 customers per day.
According to the report, the medical officer of Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center’s department of psychiatry, Dr. Fred Tampus, revealed the reason why lots of people even the young engage in this kind of activity.
“They could do it in the comfort room of their home, in an internet shop or anywhere that has Wi-Fi access. Social media could reach a very wide range of the market and internationally at that,” said Tampus.
The doctor also gave an advice on how to protect their children from doing this.
“Parents, as should be, have a very important role. How the personality, including the values of these people, develops would depend on how they were raised. After which, education will then have an important supporting role,” he added.
Based on the report, the authorities find it difficult to file crime to the “walker and “taker” since there are no complaints and they’re both adults.
They can’t also establish who the victim is since it was confined in a private room.
