Pets for Perverts: Schoolgirl Runaways for the Taking

pet-girl-in-box-needs-home-lolicon-welcome.jpg

Homeless schoolgirls desperate for places to stay have taken to offering their bodies to men in exchange for lodging, and specialist sites overflow with plaintive pleas for a temporary home: “Please someone help me! I’ve only got ¥200!”, “Could someone put me up for a week, please?”, “I’m prepared for it…”

There are numerous sites offering a place for such girls, and the men who would keep them, to meet. The men are known as 泊め男 / to-o, and naturally expect something in return for putting the girls up.

The girls who frequent such boards cooperate by sharing information on just which men are suitable keepers. Generally stays are short, lasting a few weeks to a month, after which the girl finds a new patron.

Not all such encounters go well. One girl was ordered to work for her rent after moving in, and was forced to work as a tout. With her next keeper she met an even worse fate, being imprisoned for over a month whilst being the victim of violence from numerous men.

When she tried to escape, she was spitefully punished by the man, who carved up her arms and legs with a knife, scarring her permanently. “I can’t wear a swimsuit anymore,” she laments, but is still resolute in refusing to return to her family.

Each year some 5,000 children run away from home, though it is not clear how many do so under these circumstances, or what the true figure is.

Authorities compare the sites to the recently restricted schoolgirl dating sites, saying they offer similar opportunities for young girls with loose morals and men with lolicon proclivities to mix, although runaway pickup sites fall outside of the legal scope of those sites.

    I used to have 8 dogs back at home when I was a kid.

    Now I would like to have 8 of these ones.

    So f***ing wrong.
    Makes me sick to my stomach, these kinds of situations. I'd like to place 5.56 between the eyes of every sicko who takes a kid in in exchange for sexual favors. Better yet, why not put them on a leash and castrate them like the dogs they are.

    God..

    They wouldn't be runaways if they were overage.

    I didn't look, but the boards are apparently for keitai. Try searching with the terms used in the source article.

    "Evil monster gaijin seduces minors into his home, no one knows what really happened there". *schoolgirl crying talking to reporters*

    I'm pretty sure the girls would have the advantage, in such a situation. The Japanese police always imprisons first, no chance for a lawyer if you didn't already have one.

    Actually, in many cases foreigners will be able to get away with a swift deportation rather than the kind of lengthy sentence a Japanese might get.

    It still leaves the stereotyping of 'Barbaric foreigners despoiling or tainting our flowers of youth, how dare they?!', yadda-yadda, blah-blah.

    Deportation's bad enough, but that would be worse.

    Kache me too, honestly if i had an apartment in japan i would give a girl like that a place to stay. I would have sex with her once or twice....4times max.

    And the rest of the time she would just be a roomate. Im a nice person but you know..Lust over powers any man.

    Because their fathers are much more cruel when they have sex with them perhaps?

    This part seems to be giving an example of why they run away (or at least the girl who seems to be talking to the article writer):

    不在がちな父親と、不満のはけ口を子供たちに向ける母親。そんな家にいるのが嫌で、...

    Someone better than me should translate the actual article (and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong anywhere, that's how I learn), but it _seems_ to be something along the lines of the father is gone and the mom takes her problems and frustration out on the kids... Then she says she really hates that kind of home and wants to run away and find a new home.

    I guess it really depends. If the mom just kinda gets upset at them and doesn't give them allowance and shiny things all the time, then yeah it's kind of shallow. But if (as I suspect is the case), the mom abuses them (physically or verbally) and makes their lives miserable and unbearable, then I can kinda see why they want to run away...

    The real sad part is the "I'm prepared for it" (I couldn't find it in the article yet, but I'm a lot slower than someone who's actually fluent :)). So, they know what they're getting into and they apparently feel it's a better place for them than back home...

    What's real sorry is the kind of guys that would take advantage of a young girl in dire straits to just have sex with them instead of, you know... actually take care of them and give them some semblance of a place they can call home (even for a little while)...

    The actual source article was too polite to refer directly to sex, and just compared it to compensated dating. The nearest direct line would probably be that "ある程度は覚悟してます"

    i get your point but i won't say i'd totally agree with u (e.g the last part).

    but as for "The real sad part is the “I’m prepared for it” (I couldn’t find it in the article yet, but I’m a lot slower than someone who’s actually fluent :)). So, they know what they’re getting into and they apparently feel it’s a better place for them than back home…"

    the thing is that girls nowadays don't think sex and their body as important as it should be or as it used to be. i think its kind of like "i'm prepared to wash the dishes and do the laundry" to them. which is really really sad. people should treasure their body, their dignity, their life.....

    Moralfag detected. Of course people should treasure their body, their life, and also their dignity. Who are you to conclude that these girls don't? Just because they have a more pragmatic and/or indifferent approach to sex? Humanity's development as a civilization will be stalled until each and every moralfag who thinks like this has died out.

    If they have actual fur on their bodies, it's furry. Hence the name.

    Actually I'd put it more down to personality. Horo acts like a woman, not like a cat.

    Wanko to Kurasou is all about pet raising. The pets could look completely human, and it would still be a game about having sex with your pets.
