The scenario you just described is how most girls trafficked here in the USA are found and groomed. They're either runaways taught to earn money or in some cases are actually girls just pulled off the street. However I was reading a study somewhere that said that a runaway of kid living on the street was significantly less likely to turn to prostitution or fall for the stories of an abuser/groomer/pimp if she'd been on the street for a while and had learned how to survive on her own. It's within the first few nights that a girl or boy is vulnerable otherwise they'll usually find a surrogate family of other street kids and they'll retreat to the safety of the pack if threatened.

On a completely different note, the first girl I ever kissed had lived on the streets for at least a year prior to me meeting her. She didn't talk about it too much, but she was one of the luckier ones who managed to avoid the pimps, pornographers, and drug dealers and still survive. She had escaped the streets and was back in school getting her high school diploma. She later went on to get a full ride scholarship to college.

She was (and probably still is) one of the most beautiful women I've ever met, much less held on my arms and felt her breath in my mouth. And she was homeless and on the streets for a while.

So they exist.
