Call me naive, but I am stunned by this.
I know someone, a single mum, who has an out of control teenage daughter. She was fine until a couple of years ago but is now a total school refuser and spends her time in bed or hanging around the streets of local town with similar kids. Alcohol abuse has now progressed to a drug habit - she now prostituting herself to get drugs. She is violent towards her mother who lives in fear of violence towards herself, as well as trashing of the house, electrical items etc when she feels like it.
Social services are involved and have been for a while. The police pick her up off the streets a couple of times a week.
What on earth should happen next? I can't get over the idea that she is effectively being raped, everyone knows, the system does nothing and it just continues.
