Giving New Meaning to “Pimp”

Over 100,000 American children are trafficked for sex or “pimped” each and every year. The average age of entry is 12 to 14 years old according to Shared Hope International’s report.

These children are looking for a better life, a better home. Instead they are misled by pimps to sell their bodies and innocence to pedophiles and sick people in exchange for “love” and belonging.

Unfortunately, pop culture and music videos have made these pimps an American icon. In the past decade, the use of the word “pimp” as a verb to mean “to decorate or improve” has become popular thanks to MTV’s “Pimp My Ride.”  For instance,  Vicki’s daughter was kidnapped and sold by a pimp who came from a wealthy family. He wanted to be a pimp, thinking it was “cool.” (Hear Vicki’s story and two survivors speak how their pimps lured them in our promo video on the CAS homepage.)

Today, I would like to propose this new definition for the word “pimp”…

P.I.M.P. = Prostituting Innocent Minors for Profit

And I ASSURE you that there aint nuthin’ cool about it.

We need to expose pimps for who they really are. They are criminals who are building a lucrative empire by sexually exploiting the most vulnerable members of our society.

So the  next time a friend uses the word pimp, please politely correct them, “Do you know that the real meaning of ‘pimp’ is Prostituting Innocent Minors for Profit. Aint nuthin’ cool about it.”

Let’s start spreading the new definition of pimp: Prostituting Innocent Minors for Profit.
