Only the weather changes and it's pretty cold tonight. Pretty cold night. Yeah. How do you get by on nights like this? Dave says he has been living on the streets for a year now. The holidays are rougher than most times because the holidays mean winter and warm places to stay are at a premium. You're staying any place inside. Mission. Mission? Yeah. Couldn't you get in tonight or you couldn't get inside? So you spend the night on the streets and steam vents are the next best shelter. They at least keep the frostbite down, and they are always close to alleys where the necessities of life can sometimes be found in dumpsters. If there isn't much warmth on this night before Thanksgiving for street people, there are others who are spending this evening working, trying to make tomorrow at least a little bit better. At Saint John's African Methodist Episcopal Church, there are volunteers who are spending tonight cooking for Thanksgiving dinner. We are a warm church and people come here and they feel at home. And not only do they get a meal, but they get companionship. For at least that few hour span. Each year, more people seem to show up for the meal. More than 500 are expected tomorrow. A brief stop in a warm place before returning home. On East Baltimore Street, Alex Demetrius, Channel 13, Eyewitness News. When I turned 16, I started smoking pot and hanging out with my friends, and one thing led to another and my friends started talking me into it. Hey, man, there's money in it. Don't worry about it. You know, you don't have to worry about what other people say or do as long as you can make the money.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505#t=46.45,152.06"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505/transcript/62056/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"History tells us boys and young men have been prostituting themselves on the avenue for more than 100 years. Is it condemned by the community or accepted or at least tolerated? Like Baltimore, the City of Churches tolerates the glittery voyeurism of the block, a relatively peaceful combat zone of sex. The avenue is Eastern Avenue. The community is Patterson Park. The prostitution never goes away. It just fades in and out of the limelight. It's easy to be out. It's easier. And even the police would think because they never stopped me. They never even suspect me. Jimmy is not his real name. He is still 16 years old and his mother knows what he does until five in the morning when he returns home with a lot of money in his pocket and she is powerless to stop him. Jimmy says he stopped hustling three months ago, but hustling is a profitable way to break the boredom. If the urge hits me, you know, and I feel like going outside my house and I had nothing to do and it's there. I do it in Baltimore. The teenage boy who hustles usually lives in the neighborhood where he picks up his customers. And Paterson Park is not the only homosexual marketplace. When the gay bars close at 2 a.m., a caravan begins its tour of Wyman Park near Johns Hopkins University. Here, sex is sold and given away. One police officer told me of a nine year old neighborhood boy who was among those who sold in Union Square. Boys don't walk the streets. Police say they schedule their drinks from a public phone booth nearby on the weekends or warm. You'll see them hanging out at Carroll Park on Monroe Street and at Garrett Park in Brooklyn.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505#t=152.75,252.08"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505/transcript/62056/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"The boys are younger. Here are the profile of a hustler. What include the word streetwise, cautious and 11, which is not the youngest of the kids who now work the neighborhood, according to police. Some authorities treat them as victims and go after the men who victimize. Police spent one month investigating allegations made by a teenage prostitute against an East Baltimore doctor now facing numerous solicitation and sex offense charges involving two teenage boys. In a similar case last April, police focused on a man known to US prostitutes as Raj. A two month investigation uncovered alleged sexual offenses involving several boys and a teenage flesh trade. Police say having multiple sex partners is not uncommon. That man is an Air Force officer stationed at the Pentagon. It's alleged he picked up the boys here on Patterson Park Avenue near Baltimore Street and drove them to his apartment in Prince George's County, where they engaged in various sex acts for which each boy was paid 30 to $35. When police arrested the man at his apartment, they also confiscated 200 slides of nude boys. Various photo albums and photography equipment used to make them and a computer containing a program listing numerous boys, their addresses and the various sex acts they would perform. Another common element of teenage prostitution is drugs. Drugs are main thing about it because I've been I've been to parties and been turned on to eight grams, nine grams Coke at a time, going talk to keep in good company for about an hour or two to get into the mood, you know, get stoned drunk, whatever you want to do with them. And like I say, whatever you want to do, you can get high anytime you want. You ain't got to worry about that.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505#t=252.5,353.21"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505/transcript/62056/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Boys aren't alone walking the streets of Patterson Park. Teenage girls walk right beside them, but their stories are different. Most are runaways. Most need the money to survive or support a drug habit, either their own or someone else's. Lucy is showing off her track marks. She shot up shortly before she told me her story. It takes over your body. And so you think about you don't care about nothing but that drug. You don't care how you got to get it. If you going to rip off three people to get it. It doesn't matter how you get it as long as you get it. At 19, Lucy is a veteran of the streets. She left home a long time ago. Lucy says heroin is easy to buy in Paterson Park. And just down the street in Fells Point, where drugs and prostitution create a subculture that feeds on fresh faces and false hopes. There's a few girls that there is been kicked out of their homes and a guy's for himself and they have a roof over their head. And there's some girls out there real young doing it because they want their friends are doing it. Is it tough to get started when you go into the street? Yeah. A new face on the street will get more Johnston or face on the streets, especially young ones. On the surface, it may appear Lucy and Jimmy have lost a quality most parents try to instill in their children a sense of decency. It's true they have lost a part of their childhood and most of their innocence. But they do despair over selling their bodies and in the process, losing a part of their souls. I'm not saying that because it was something I had to do at the time, and I am ashamed of it because I wasn't brought up like that.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505#t=353.78,484.03"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505/transcript/62056/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"It irks you for days and days at a time because. You're not satisfied with life saving you because you're doing all the wrong things for all the wrong reasons. Jerry. I'm standing in the center of the safe programs. Safe stands for Students Aiding Friends. Behind me is a kind of makeshift radio dispatch center thought up and manned by high school students here in Baltimore. This radio works every Monday through Friday. And the on the other end of that radio hour, other kids who give it the best part of their weekends to protect other classmates who may be having too good a time. The kind of good times when booze, kids and cars all come together at once and life can sometimes come apart. It was this kind of fatal accident that drew students together last April from 16 different high schools to form the safe program. On Friday and Saturday night, some man phones and radios. Others drive in teams when a call comes in from a kid who's had too much to drink. The drivers are sent out to take the classmate home. Some of them. Also drunk that they vomit in the backseat. Others are merely tipsy but not strong enough to be able to drive themselves home. Some people have been passed out on lawns when we can't pick them out. Others of them, they're just their drivers were drunk and they need them. They themselves needed a ride home. Not always a pleasant way to spend a weekend night, but always worth it. I think it's worth giving up to a mine to help save someone lives. Someone's life. And I seen it work, so I know it's a good program. We've transported over 400 people. And more than that, I think we made a lot of people aware of the problem of drinking and driving.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505#t=484.81,583.63"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114451/file/217505/transcript/62056/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I think, you know, now people would think twice before they get in the car and they're acting a lot more responsibly when they're out on weekends.
