                  cold was the night and a runaway girl
       lay in the snow . . . soon a man found her
he took her to a brothel- cleaned her up with a bath
       gave her drugs until all she did was sleep
              the police raided and found the girl dead_
  someones child is buried in an unmarked grave

So sad.... Such incidents are becoming increasingly common these days. She must have been the victim of callous abuse.Poignantly written.

Valsa, thank you for the compliment, yes sadly this happens to runaway boys and girls, on the streets they meet the worst of society and never find their way home, Constance
