Having listened to child victims of grooming, trafficking, sexual abuse & rape, these girls (and boys) were targeted precisely, because they were vulnerable to exploitation. They plied with drink & drugs, & then sold to a network of men. This has had long term mental health repercussions for them

Many were from care homes (child residential centres) & these individuals would wait near to pick up girls, grooming them with the love & attention they desperately needed. The authorities at the time also thought they were bratty teenagers, ignoring the problems for years. 1,400+ victims in the UK

Thankfully they were eventually listened to & a string of convictions of networks of hundreds of men & women have shown it to be a huge scandal of a failure of care of these children. The 'man' the post is about is an ignorant fool and a paedophile apologist.
