    Child

    Exploitation
    What is child exploitation?
    Child Exploitation is a type of sexual
    abuse where children are exploited for
    money, power or status. Children under
    the age of 18 may be tricked into
    believing that they're in a loving,
    consensual relationship with someone
    that could be several years older than
    them. They may be invited to parties,
    given drugs, cigarettes and alcohol as a
    result of them performing or receiving
    sexual activities as well as being exposed
    to large risks on the internet…...
    …..Child exploitation is a hidden crime.
    Young people often trust their abuser and
    don't understand that they're being abused.
    They may depend on their abuser and are
    often too scared to tell anyone what is
    happening. It can involve violent, humiliating
    and degrading sexual assaults. Young
    people are persuaded or forced into
    exchanging sexual activity for money, drugs,
    gifts, affection or status. Child sexual
    exploitation doesn't always involve physical
    and can happen online.
    Over 2,400 children were victims
    of sexual exploitation in gangs and
    groups from August 2010 to October
    2011

    Child exploitation online
    •
    When sexual exploitation happens online, young
    people may be persuaded, or forced, to:
    •
    Send or post images of themselves
    •
    Take part in sexual activities via a web cam or
    smart phone
    •
    Have sexual conversations by text or online.
    •
    Abusers may threaten to send images, video or
    copies of conversations to the young person's
    friends and family unless they take part in other
    sexual activity.
    People who sexually exploit children are
    often described as highly manipulative
    individuals. They exert power over young
    people through physical violence, emotional
    blackmail or financial pressure, for
    example holding them in debt. To maintain
    control or to distance children and young
    people from those who may be able to
    protect them, such as family and friends,
    abusers create or exploit weaknesses.
    How can you
    stay safe?
    Trust yourself to know
    when something is
    wrong. If someone
    makes you feel unsafe,
    pressured or
    frightened, follow your
    instincts and seek help
    Don’t trust people you
    don’t know, even if they
    seem friendly – and
    make sure you know
    who you are talking to online.
    Never give away personal
    details or agree to meet
    someone who you have only
    talked to online.
    Don’t be tricked into
    doing things that are
    unsafe, even if they
    seem like fun. What
    might look exciting at
    first could be more dangerous
    than you realize.
