Re: Child Exploitation

Anne, it can be done by owning the problem and taking responsibility for it.
Not blaming the victims - because they are vulnerable does not mean they can be abused.
Until the Pakistani muslim community do this, then there will be no solution.

I also think that we have to be more open and honest. less politically correct even..........the authorities need to pursue wrongdoers without the fear of a racism label beeing attached to their efforts to tackle these problems.
Without this approach then the problem will continue to exist....and not only that it will grow.

I think what we are seeing, is just the tip of the iceberg.
