1982
Saowalak, W.
The study sought to find out the reaction of parents on their children's becoming prostitutes. The children were formerly prostitutes who are currently in the rehabilitation centers. There were 60 respondents interviewed. They are relatively no schooling, had low family income; with large number of children; mostly engaged in farming; were Buddhists, but relatively disapproved some of their religious beliefs, and also did not value honor. Visiting behavior of parents at the care center was not influenced by their attitude towards prostitution nor their perception of their children becoming prostitutes. Instead, they were influenced by their economic situation. In fact, the parents were still supportive during rehabilitation. Unfortunately, most parents have no plans for their children after being rehabilitated. Therefore, the prostitute children tended to indulge in prostitution again
