Assignment 1: Discussion: Rites of Passage
Current Scenario
Officer Johnson is continuing to deal with the family you met in Modules 1 and 2. He has learned how the family’s criminal activities have moved from selling drugs to manufacturing drugs. He also learns that Rob has enlisted Mary into prostitution to gain access to newer markets.

As Mary’s clientele grows, many clients become regulars. Mary tells Rob that she cannot handle the business alone. So they decide to groom Lucy for prostitution. Rob begins to groom Lucy for prostitution when she is fourteen years old. He rapes and molests her and forces her into submission.

Lucy is told after the first sexual assault that she will learn the prostitution aspects of their business and she is going to pull her own weight. Mary runs the prostitution business and manages the finances brought in by the girls who are hooked in by Lucy. Meanwhile, Junior pulls his own weight through his drug dealings.

Rob and Junior manage the drug business. Junior’s ambition is to expand into new ventures. He is so proud of his parents that he decides to work with some of his friends on a new caper. They begin breaking into homes and businesses to steal and then sell the stolen goods. One of his close friends is willing to steal computers from his employer so that they can sell them on the Internet.
