Horrified Father Discovers 14-Year-Old Daughter Working as a Sexy Hostess at Shanghai NightclubAuthorities in Shanghai are carrying out investigations into entertainment venues across Jing’an district after a father discovered that his 14-year-old daughter was working as a hostess at Mook.
The father, identified only as Zhang, tracked down his daughter at the popular nightclub on Nanjing West Road, where he saw her wearing a skimpy outfit and selling alcohol to customers.
“I didn’t believe it at first until I saw her sitting behind the bar, wearing heavy make-up, cosmetic contact lenses and false eyelashes,” said Zhang, according to Shanghai Daily. “Her cleavage was exposed, and I was scared to death when I saw her like that.”
He tried to convince the teenage girl to return home with him, but to no avail.

When Zhang found out what she was doing with her life, he said she promised to come back home with him, but she ended up using the back door of the venue to run away and escape.
Zhang told local media that she still hasn’t come home, and has since blocked her dad’s calls on her phone.
His daughter also claimed that other underage girls work at the bar, with at least six other girls under 16 years old.
According to Yibada, Chinese netizens said most bar girls in Shanghai clubs were all born after 2000, with many of the teens still attending high school.
One of the young hostesses reportedly had not been home to see her family in more than a year.
Undercover reporters discovered that even though there is a sign at the entrance saying nobody under the age of 18 is allowed entry, security guards weren’t required to ask guests to show some ID.
It was also revealed that a girl around 12 or 13 years old was working as a hostess at the bar, but staff members told her to go away.
