Why do street children get involved in drug trafficking drugs, prostitution or rape?

Of course people can find many different ways to definate why children get involved in drugs and/or prostitution. But my thought of why children get involved with drugs and/or prostitution or rape is because they might not have a wll paying source of money wich is the main reason of involvement. Children usually deal lower class drugs and answer to adult of the community who can even be workind for the government (ex. police officers). Usually these things are not done by children on their own because normally nobody would sell great amounts of drugs to children. And no street child would have the amount of money to actually get a decent amount of drugs. The adults do the purchasing stage and leave it up to the teenagers to sell the drugs and earn the money for them. The teenagers and children obviously do not get payed much (ex. the probaly get 5-10% of what they earn). Selling drugs on the street can cause close friendships and create small gangs which later enlarge to become drug kingpins. This can cause violence, murder arrest and many other things.

Another illegal activity street children get involved in is prostitution. Prostitution also is a like a food chain. There are people who all the prostitues come and answer to who probably give a cut to their leaders. Prostitutes earn more money then drug dealing chlidren. But during this job many diseases can be spread because of unsafe sex. Also sometimes prostitutes are ripped off by people and they can een get killed because of resisting to leave the client without pay. I think prostitution pays more than drug dealing but it is a more dangerous job.
