I'm a brit, around the same time a US based charity set up here that paid drug using women to get (temporary but long term) Birth Control. I thought it was a good idea but it was (is) very controversial. They started after a similar experience.

The kids I worked with were so lucky to get a nice loving family, a very strong community to support them, lots of opportunities for socialisation and education etc.

God knows what happens if you're not that lucky.

Edit: I have to be honest, I enjoyed the work. I wouldn't have done it otherwise. :) the kids had their moments but mostly they were really excited to do anything and getting male attention was a big draw for them (one they got over the fear of men they all arrived with).

And that makes it _perfect_ -- too rare in actual life. Wonderful. Buy yourself a pint! :-)
