The level of victim blaming is still extremely high and I think people underestimate just how much damage that does. The wrong response from professionals can shut down further disclosure for years after, the language around so called child prostitution, talk of young people ‘choosing’ to abscond it they are removed into care rather than recognition that they are responding to coercion, things like ‘dressing provocatively’ on CSE risk checklists, the use of CSE films which openly show graphic scenes of rape to children as ‘warnings’ which are abusive, frightening and re-traumatising for victims - why would you talk to someone whose effectively abused you further etc. That’s on top of the classism that runs throughout, because young working class girls are just not important enough and they’re lose slags with no morals so what do we expect anyway.
