Police in the southern Indian state of Kerala have arrested the mother
and stepfather of a teenage girl for allegedly forcing her into the sex trade
for two years.
The
13-year-old has been rescued and taken to a state-run shelter home. She
has told counselors that her parents would solicit customers and force her to
have sex with the men.
Her
mother has told a news
channel that she would charge 3,000 rupees (£30; $47) from a
customer for her daughter.
Police
said they had identified 25 of the 40 customers who had allegedly paid for sex
with the teenager.
Ten
others, including a broker, have also been arrested in connection with the
case. (s:bbc)
