RentMySon is a subsidiary of ChildNet Services, with its corporate headquarters in San Diego, CA. In addition, we also maintain 4 regional offices across the United States.
RentMySon provides safe and trustworthy child-rental services in multiple metropolitan areas. Our service area is growing every year and we are on target to provide services in 50 cities by the end of 2006.
RentMySon began operation in 1998 in San Diego. Our initial crew consisted of 2 boys who, by the end of the school year, had gone to over 20 local school dances and Proms. As word quickly spread of our services, so did our team of boys and the range of events we catered to.
We pride ourselves in being a one-of-a-kind company with a near-perfect track record. We are constantly evaluating our procedures to be sure we are offering a 100% safe environment for everyone involved.
Our goal is to provide reliable child-rental services in a fun and safe environment. We strive to make customer satisfaction a priority. Feel free to contact us with any cares or concerns. We thank you for your past and continued business.

This is in America. I can not believe it. Who would really rent their own flesh and blood to a stranger? I still can not believe this. Rent for what purpose? There seems no other reason to rent a child unless it was for bad intentions. Am I right here? What other reasons besides bad ones, would you rent a child for?

A date for the prom?? These children look too young for a HS prom so I have no idea what the purpose would be.

Age: 10
Location: Phoenix, AZ

About Me: My family moved to Phoenix from Miami last year. Everyone thought it would be hard for me to make new friends, but for me it was easy. I like playing with new kids and like doing things like rollerblading and chatting with my friends online. My mom signed me up on this website a few months ago and it has been a lot of fun.
Specializes in: School Dances, Playing with new kids
Specializes in school dances? At age 10? Look at her! Doesn't she look like she's smiling because she just got through jumping in the Moonwalk with her friends or something?
This place won't be around long...some tragic story will eventually put an end to it.
Geez!

There's desperate, then there's desperate for money, then there's overkill.

IF (and I emphasize IF) it is real, it is a ploy by child predators to recruit young kids (with the aid of their parents). The website is hosted through GoDaddy.com, so it isn't a "certified" agency by any means.
I doubt that the 10 boys on the rentmyson site are actually "rentable." Probably just individual, random pics of kids not even associated with the "company" anymore. Do you really think a supposedly nationwide company would only have 10 boys available to rent for proms, parties, etc? If there are boys lined up for people to rent, there are more than 10 and they are not going to have their pictures on the web. Child exploitation is as illegal and immoral as it gets and they're sure as heck not going to put any more evidence out there against them than they have to.
(I'm not going to the rentmydaughter site again while here at work. On my first click, it looked bad enough with just the belly shot. I don't want to search through it any further while at the office. )
If I get a chance, I'll check at PJ.com and see if they know anything about it.

That's not nearly as bad as some of the names I have seen lately for kids.
