Nothing changes

Vulnerable women and girls as young as 14 are being lured into a world of forced sex by gangs in London, evidence uncovered by the BBC has found.

20 years ago it was the same. I was "recruited" at 15.

Lots of talk - little action.

Do you have any actionable suggestions?

@ValcoreSylvestra don't treat most of those caught up as criminals, they're victims. I got out when one policeman said "If you want out I can help" and he was good to his word when I was raped for the last time. Most of the cops are only interested in arrests not in helping people.

Secondly every children's home I lived in during my time in care had pedophiles in them. Every single one. They need to be completely rebuilt, restaffed etc.

@KatyO83 Understood, I work with abuse victims often, I would never treat them as criminals and will continue to not do so, thank you. Gay spaces are filled with abuse victims, just trying to manage day to day. I will continue to do what I can to help.

@ValcoreSylvestra oh I didn't say the most obvious thing - legalise all drugs and license their sale. Treat it like a health problem not a criminal one

@KatyO83 If I made the rules I would, but I'll pass that along.
