They were abandoned by their father, and for survival they were left on the streets selling flowers to strangers in bars. Their mother is an alcoholic, and with the probability of following in their older sisters footsteps of prostitution, they are the typical children of the streets where 9 out of 10 children are sold into prostitution. An urgent call came into ZOE one night that the girls needed a stable home or they would most likely be headed for a brothel.
