In order to own expensive gadgets that her friends carried but she could not afford, the Vadodara based teenager would book clients through a secret secondary phone

A 13-year-old girl's desire to own a smartphone has led her into prostitution in Gujarat. In order to own expensive gadgets that her friends carried but she could not afford, the Vadodara-based teenager would book clients through a secret secondary phone during the time her mother would be away at work, according to a report in Times of India.

The mother had no idea about her daughter's act until she confessed everything because she was afraid she was pregnant, the report added. But what was shocking was the fact that the teenage girl refused to part away from the flesh trade despite her mother explaining her the illegality of the trade. It was then that the mother turned to a counselor of 181 Abhayam service for help.

Many electronic gadgets and phones were found in her possession and the girl admitted that some of her friends had an idea of what she was up to.

The girl was adopted from Anand when she was an infant and her father passed away three years ago.
