Back Alley Nurseries: Sex Workers of Bogotá
Subscribe to VICE News here:
In a corner of Santa Fe, one of Bogotá’s seedier neighborhoods, a woman named Luz Marina runs a nursery for the children of prostitutes who work in the city’s red light district. She charges $5 to look after babies and young children while their mothers sell their bodies, often for between $15 and $30. When the mothers can’t pay, Luz Marina doesn’t make a fuss, looking after their children for free. Over the years, women have left babies with her and never returned. For all her work helping children, she receives no assistance from the local government — she does it because nobody else will.
VICE News spent time with Luz Marina in Bogotá, documenting her nursery for Bogota’s forgotten children.

Well mom is she is a good mom
prostitutes are criminals, they are not vicitums. I do not feel sorry for them.
Every body is a Sellout to the Devil.
Colombia needs more abortions because this is sad
Omg my heart dropped when that poor boy was crying behind his sister at the end omg 😭😭😭 may god bless all these bright beautiful kids to a better and safe place 😭
Ok, so the prostitutes with kids, I can understand a little but the trannies with no kids, there's no excuse to prostitute. They can find a job but won't bc they want to be prostitutes. They don't want to do anything respectable or decent. It's the same in the U.S., trannies love prostituting. They're suicidal bc of their tranny mental disorder, not bc of anything else. They have the highest suicide rate bc that's one of the many symptoms of their mental disorder. Go figure their biggest problem on the streets is each other, other trannies. They, also, have the highest domestic violence rate.
wow . . . I don't get the appeal of tranny prostitutes . . . if you're gay why would you want a man who looks like a woman?
Didn't expect to see a tiny dog house with a tv in this video lmao
That's our city, our country so sad 😔😔😞😞
Pobriecitos… all my best wishes and love to them!
3 seconds in and I already started crying
So heart breaking at list she didn’t aborted her kids God please have mercy.
There’s a lady in America who pays for drug addicts contraception, to avoid things like this. This is so sad. Having babies due to prostitution and not giving a damn about the kids. So sad!!!
How do I donate to that damn nursery omg like c'mon!
That girl with the kids is on tweak
Whats sad is that the kids didnt choose this life…
It really infuriates me that they only show the bad side of Bogotá. That is in every documental/movie/show that is made about colombia, and not a single one of them shows how beautiful it really is. Colombia is a really diverse country, and specifically talking about Bogotá, there is so much to see in that city. Yes, there is a "dark side", as there is in EVERY city, but why not show as well the "rich", cultured, and pretty side of it? The well educated? The places for tourism? I live in Bogotá and have lived here for all my life, and I can surely tell you that it is a beautiful city with a little of everything. I personally have never visited the "poor" side of it, and I know a lot of shit happens there, but just try making a video that shows the good as well and not only the "drug and prostitution central" smh
May God bless them, precious children and foster Mom… grant them goodness safety love….in Yeshuas name mercy. Amen.
All of these ladies are virgins in my eyes

mood: pulling a cool knife out of a pink fanny pack
😣😢😢 I don’t think I can watch this 1
As a side note – that pug puppy is very cute.
Oh GOD save as
the fact that she keeps referring to that woman as a "transvestite" uh wtf
"this transvestite has actually built a house for her dog"
I feel bad for this kids but st the same time is nice to see cause the world love telling us blacks are irresponsible but ugh huh blacks make amazing parents the ones that let drugs lead their life can’t speak for all blacks
The kids are the one suffering I feel like if your going to have that kind of life don’t have kids at all
the last scenes were so heartbreaking.. those poor babies. I feel for them and the mothers.
Spain fault
That pug has a better life then me ;-;
Those poor babies😔
Childcare places like this in Canada would be closed down because Canada has lots of health, sanitation and inspection regulations regarding childcare. Also People who run them need to have First Aid, take child care training and if they want to do home daycare or in a Center. All the kids must eat food following the food group for their age.
That mini dog house is so extra, I love it hahaha
these kids better fucking grow up to be something great this shit is too depressing
God bless her
I take good care of them *especially Damien*… I’m not judging her life choices but don’t treat your kids differently, Jesus!.
Okay I'm transgender and that uneducated ass tranny as no idea what she is talking about. She shouldn't be overdosing on hormones like a retard.
Remember all that South America is predominantly Catholic . It's a very American notion to just go out and get birth control. A lot of these countries make Texas look pro choice
Seeing those babies cry broke my heart!
I wish I could adopt all of them
Heartbreaking
name of the song at the end????
whats this reporters name?lov her
