In an effort to alert young Latinas about the growing incidence of statutory rape, the Virginia Department of Health has opted to produce a fotonovela; Its title, though, almost gives the story away: Gracias, Papi.
The story starts out like most fotonovelas: Teenage Yaneth is at a picnic when she spots handsome David. She nabs his number and afterward, playfully sends him a text message. A few pages later, Yaneth is in a car alone with David, who turns out to be a man in his late 20s. He is demanding sex and 14-year-old Yaneth is scared.
The Virginia Department of Health says Gracias Papi will be distributed across Virginia starting in April.
