Human trafficking seems like a big claim and maybe a disservice to those that are actually trafficked. As a model can't you quit? Aren't your parents involved somehow if you are a minor?

How do you end up in debt to an agent? Isn't that just poor business decisions by your parents?

I think I remember that you had to give up creative control - does that mean you are pretty much done with your input? Are you happy with the current direction the project is taking?

As a clarification since you are answering lots of other questions but mine, I'm not trying to be rude. I'm not sure I understand how you end up in a situation comparable to human trafficking or how you end up so in debt to an agent when your parents should be involved if the model is a minor.

Right even if the minor doesn't understand, when they get back home and the parent says "Tell me about your trip!" and the minor responds "Well on Tuesday Night I had dinner with some random dude, and on Wednesday night I had dinner with some other random dude, and Thursday night another random dude" shouldn't that be a big red flag for the parents?

Did you talk to your parent about the trip when you came home from Japan? Were they unconcerned?

For young girls from poor countries with less options it makes more sense that they get trapped, I was originally thinking mostly of people from the US.

I'm not trying to blame the victim I'm just trying to understand how a minor is subjected to this without parental consent or complicity in some form.

edit: Also is it normal for minors to go to other countries without a parent? Who acts as your guardian if not your parents?
