for material to use in a term-paper, you are advised to scan the postings on
this page and others to see which aspects of child prostitution are of
particular interest to you. You might
be interested in exploring how children got started, how they survive, and
how some succeed in leaving. Perhaps
your paper could focus on runaways and the abuse that led to their
leaving. Other factors of interest
might be poverty, rejection, drug dependence, coercion, violence, addiction,
hunger, neglect, etc. On the other
hand, you might choose to write about the manipulative and dangerous adults
who control this activity. There is a

children trafficked to the UK for sexual exploitation, forced labour, drugs
transport, benefit fraud, and other crimes.
The NSPCC Child Trafficking Advice and Information Line (CTAIL) on
0800 107 7057 will help people working with children, such as immigration
officers, the police, social workers, teachers, and health workers, to better
identify and protect child victims. It will also shed light on the scale of
child trafficking in the “Identifying
trafficked children can be very difficult, even for a professional working in
social services or immigration. These children are incredibly vulnerable –
they might be regularly beaten, raped, denied food and basic comforts, and
have no access to healthcare or an education.
Trafficked children have often lost their trust in adults because of
the abuse they have suffered. They are afraid to ask for help for fear of
retaliation from their trafficker or being treated as criminals by the Concluding

He said young men were initially targeting girls at school and acting
as their boyfriends before passing them on to older men who would become
their pimps. The MP said he knew

child abuse. These men telephoned or called at the children’s homes and
persuaded him with money, drugs and threats to bring other children to them. The disclosure raises further questions
about the failure of Haringey council to take Baby
P into care. Care experts say routine background checks on the family would
have uncovered the history of abuse in the family and should have raised
serious and immediate concerns. Liz

scandal, said the child was like a “Pied Piper” who led other children into
abuse. “But he was also a victim himself, who begged for help,” she said. 'Sex slavery' gang

to the BBC’s investigative reporting program Panorama many British girls
(some as young as 12) are “groomed” for prostitution by criminal gangs with
networks that extend across the country. Such girls are typically not the
out-of-control youths lacking parental guidance, such as we might assume.
They are merely teenagers, easily manipulated and easily controlled by
ruthless, older men. “Grooming” consists of an emotionally and mentally
paralyzing mix of flattery and gifts from boys only slightly older than their
victims, introductions to older men, drink, drugs, sexual abuse, and rape.

as prostitutes as the result of a complex process involving manipulation,
violence, sexual abuse, drugs, alcohol and poverty. Barnardo's
gives an example of how it could happen: A girl, who has run away from home
or is being abused at home, meets a young man, probably aged between 18 and 25.
He gives her the love and affection she is missing. He pretends to be her
boyfriend, impressing her with his maturity and lifestyle, his money and car.
She falls in love with him and they start to have sex. Then he becomes possessive and demands
proof of the girl's love. Often this includes breaking off with friends and
family. If she is still living with her parents he may help her put herself
into care. Soon he controls her life – what she wears, what she eats, where
she goes. He becomes violent and she becomes frightened, but she still hopes
that one more proof of her love will restore their relationship. Once the man
totally dominates her he demands she has sex with one of his 'friends', and
then with other men. He uses violence and threats to control her. He has now
become not her boyfriend but her pimp. Child prostitution
