CAUTION: The following links
and accompanying text have been culled from the web to illuminate the
situation in Palau. Some of these
links may lead to websites that present allegations that are unsubstantiated,
misleading or even false. No attempt
has been made to validate their authenticity or to verify their content. HOW TO USE THIS WEBPAGE Students If you are looking for
material to use in a term-paper, you are advised to scan the postings on this
page and others to see which aspects of child prostitution are of particular
interest to you. You might be
interested in exploring how children got started, how they survive, and how
some succeed in leaving. Perhaps your
paper could focus on runaways and the abuse that led to their leaving. Other factors of interest might be poverty,
rejection, drug dependence, coercion, violence, addiction, hunger, neglect,
etc. On the other hand, you might
choose to write about the manipulative and dangerous adults who control this
activity. There is a lot to the
subject of Child Prostitution. Scan
other countries as well as this one.
Draw comparisons between activity in adjacent countries and/or
regions. Meanwhile, check out some of
the Term-Paper
resources that are available on-line. Teachers Check out some of

EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN - The law does not explicitly prohibit child
pornography, but it does prohibit the commercial sexual exploitation of
children, and the law was enforced. The age of consensual sex is 17. Sexual
assault of a minor younger than age 15 is a felony and is subject to a
maximum imprisonment of 25 years, a $50,000 fine, or both. Child sexual abuse
is a felony with fines up to $50,000, imprisonment for up to 25 years, or
both. Concluding

prostitution and pornography. Concern is also expressed at the insufficient programmes for the physical and psychological recovery
and social reintegration of child victims of such abuse and exploitation. The Protection
