    In a corner of Santa Fe, one of Bogotá’s seedier neighborhoods, a woman named Luz Marina runs a nursery for the children of prostitutes who work in the city’s red light district. She charges $5 to look after babies and young children while their mothers sell their bodies, often for between $15 and $30. When the mothers can’t pay, Luz Marina doesn’t make a fuss, looking after their children for free. Over the years, women have left babies with her and never returned. For all her work helping children, she receives no assistance from the local government - she does it because nobody else will.
    VICE News spent time with Luz Marina in Bogotá, documenting her nursery for Bogota's forgotten children.

First entered at three months old, was finally adopted around four years of age. All I know is: my birth mother is doing better (apparently she was an addict and did some SW) and my birth dad is stillness in prison, and actually got beat up a few times since. I’m nearing 18 and doing much better :)

    This video brings tears to my eyes. Because no one chooses to be born in hardships or poverty. Life deals you a hand at random and you have to make the best of it. I know everyone is sad about the children, but my heart goes out even more for the mother’s, who aren’t sure if they will ever see their kids again. They don’t know if their next John will beat and murder them or rob them. They don’t know if they day care lady will abuse or sell their children. It’s a gut wrenching feeling to feel this low as a person and you’re literally doing everything to make ends meet. It felt good hearing that one mother saying she is going to quit being a sex worker so her daughter does not follow in her footsteps.

      My heart goes out for the children more because if they end up with the maturity and basic logic people should have, they’re dealing cards no one would ever choose if they had the chance to choose and they have no control over it, they’re living in disgusting conditions and especially being with these kind of mother’s. I cannot say for certain but more than likely there will be anger brewing from these children in the near future.

    I had a friend that was a sex worker and has been struggling with addiction for a really long time. When her son was born I made her a deal that no matter when and for how long she could drop him off at my house as long as she made sure he had what he needed. I didn’t want her loosing her son or her son to be in situations he shouldn’t be in when she was using. She still has her son thanks to me but had a daughter and moved to another province and I couldn’t help her like I did before. She lost custody of her daughter to the father and as far lost rights to see her also. It breaks my heart cause my friend has been on the right track so many times and then relapses... she lost her daughter cause of a relapse and she had been clean for a really long time actually. Some people deserve help and others are just beyond help. Sex work doesn’t make you a bad person, its good money especially when you have kids and are a single mom.

      First thing people like you and her need to understand that sex work is the first problem here - whatever money it gives out - is it worth becoming a souless mother - a mother with no ability to give protection shelter any LoVE - from my point of view this women choose to become like this - and if you put money over love and morality and live a fucked up lifestyle - sorry but it’s so clear that you will end up living a worthless horrible life - addiction and sex work are one - never teach your children that sex work is a good job as it gives out good money - that’s insane and will ruin a life and then a whole society

      People are trying to normalise sex work as ethical employment but it isnt. By taking money for sex, you are encouraging and enabling a culture of cheapening human beings, as though you can exchange the most intimate part of yourself to a complete stranger for cash. It isnt a wonder that sex work is usually associated with people with a myriad of mental health issues, both the workers and the users. It is wrong and also contributes to the growing problem of loneliness. People are not working at developing strong relationships and families if they just satisfy their desires with poor desperate strangers and then continue. To be a person who follows their desires with no concern of the effect of your behaviour, it destroys your humanity. Sex work may be a last resort for people and I feel terrible for them. But do not normalise something that kills the human soul.

    I've been watching VICE videos for some time already and it is difficult to cope with this as a human being with consciousness. Really difficult...
    Especially in this video, the kids have no fault. I am thinking what would have been for me if the chance happened to be one of them. I think everyone should think from this perspective instead of wanting more "show" from VICE. I appreciate the hardcore reality, this is what happens in the world and people dreaming in their wonderland shouldn't ignore all of this misery.

    hearing that the baby was left there it just hurts I feel bad for those poor angels. I have a son the same age and i just can't imagine the pain.

    God bless the woman taking care of the little ones. May she have all that she stands in need of. Bless the children that they may find their way as they grow and keep them safe and healthy.
