"Love It" magazine

In this weeks edition there is what is called -a shock news report:

GIRLS FORCED TO BE PROSTITUTES AGED 10

The article mentions boyfriends showering girls with gifts,jewellery,mobile phones
Girls being lured away from friends and family
Encouraged to drink and take drugs
Persuaded to have sex with older friends or 'uncles' to pay for the gifts
Parents begging for help from the police and social services

Perhaps to many people it may seem far fetched,in fact a year ago I would have thought the same.Now sadly for many people this is the reality of Britain today,it doesn't just happen in inner cities it can happen anywhere and it can happen to anyone.

I have sat today having coffee with a drugs advisor,getting information on the effects of drugs and what parents can do to help their children.
These children have had their childhoods stolen by men who promise the earth,who tell the girls its real love and they are the only people who really understand them.
The truth is that these men are very dangerous and they get a thrill out of each victim they win over,unlike the parents,they aren't interested in the long term welfare of the girls,more so the short term welfare of their wallets.

Lets hope that the Home office minister quoted in the article takes the tough action on the perpetrators that he has promised.
Too many lives have already been ruined,this crime has to stop,these girls have to be protected.
