I am not writing this report because this company would not deliver the product ordered. I am sure that the magazines that I ordered would have been delivered to my home. I am writing this because I do not believe that anyone should perpetiuate the exploitation of children.
It is possible that the girl that was selling door to door was not a teenager, but given the track record of organizations such as this it is not likely. She was most likely a runaway that was staying at a cheap motel in town getting 5 dollars per a magazine she sold. There is no big payoff for these kids. They are told that they will make big money and that it's okay to lie to the people they are selling to and when they earn enough points they will win a tropical vacation.
I have worked with kids in the past that have worked for similar organizations, and all of the stories they shared with me were negative. If you run across any of these kids help them out by not buying from them. The sooner they realize they are being taken advantage of the better off they are.
