A shocking legal loophole discovered by authorities in Rhode Island.
While teens can’t pump gas or climb ladders on the job because of protections in workplace laws, there is nothing on the books keeping 16- and 17-year-olds from stripping – as long as they’re home by 11:30 on school nights.
Authorities discovered this loophole during a police investigation into a 16-year-old runaway found working at a strip club in Providence.
I am confused. We are told at the start that she is 16 and then this woman with the weird accent keeps referring to her as a minor.
Is this girl under 16, a minor or 16, a young adult old enough to get married in much of the civilised world?
I think Alphie is moving to Rhode Island.

ROFL!
While physical maturity in the human female can be achieved by 16 I seriously doubt her psychological maturity is up to the challenge of survival in that particular context, pimps, drugs, prostitution. She’s a runaway and I’m sure she has her reasons. These are hard times and a runaway has few alternatives. Just another sad story from a country whose ‘lifestyle’ used to be the envy of the civilized world.
I’m kinda shocked this wasn’t in Florida.
Interesting responses…different than the massive ranting a couple months ago when a bar was caught with an underage runaway stripper (with fake ID and in a different state).
Does this mean we’re getting use to the idea?
