Thats my brother, they dont tell you that he wasnt the only male involved. No they put a label on a young male, knowing girls lie about their age daily. I do it and im 26. Point being is they are putting all responsibility on my brother because he seems to fit the bill.
Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy.
Life would be good, but then us tax payers would have to support him. Send him to Iraq or Afghanistan.
