BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — A sex-fire scheme has been halted in which about 10 children — some as young as eight years old — told sexual favors to adult acquaintances, police said yesterday.

terday. They said the heterosexual and possibly homosexual prostitution scheme had been initiated by the children, and had been discovered through a four-month investigation.
Although the youngsters shared the names of likely clients, officials said, they were victims of a more pervasive problem of sexual exploitation of Brattleboro children.
THE CHILD PROSTITUTION
scheme shocked residents of the southern Vermont community of about 12,000, and officials said the sexual exploitation problem will be attacked with increased meetings with parents and the community's 1,000 elementary school children.
"I wouldn't say there is anything different about these kids, it's just the fact they fell to exploitation," explained Lt. Richard Guthrie, juvenile officer for the Brattleboro Police Department.
"I would clearly define them as victims."
However, a pervading question
Thursday in the southwest Carmont
communal church was that young girls
of children not yet fully aware of
their own sexuality could operate a
child prostitution ring — and share the names of likely clients.
He said the ring may be a sad reflection of a society in which sexually suggestive programs are served up nightly on prime-time television.
Guthrie had one answer.
"Watch your TV at night and see the programs," he said. "Read between the lines. What kind of programs are we showing our children?"
POLICE DECLINED to detail how the ring worked, but said children involved fell into the traditional role in child abuse cases, and were generally exploited by relatives or close family friends.
but charges may be brought against adults who purchased the sexual favors.
They said none of the children — who ranged in age from 8 to 13 and included both boys and girls — will be charged,
Officials also said counseling has been arranged for the children and their families.
He said a lack of sexual education in the homes of the youngsters may have been "part of the problem" that spawned the prostitution ring.
Windham Southeast Supervisory Union Superintendent James Cusick, who oversees the town's five elementary schools, the town police and state social workers told school officials about the ring last week.
"The parents ... almost without exception, said we were going to have that heart-to-heart talk about the birds and the bees next year," he said.

WHEAT MEET '83
HISTORIANS HAVE STUDIED Bolivar extensively, disagreeing on whether he has become a hero, but his importance is undeniable. Matthew
Rosa Helena Hidalgo, president of the Latin American student association, said, "Bolivar's thoughts are alive today more than ever."
Mathews, who has the Ph.D. in Latin American history from the University of New York, said that Bolivar was the most important leader in the struggle of the American continent to free itself from Spain.
Bolivar was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1783 and died in Santa Marta, Colombia, in 1830.

He said that Thomas Jefferson opposed Bolivar's ideas of unity because Jefferson thought they could make Latin America a powerful power.
