Research found that:
42 per cent of young prostitutes had been in care at some point
The "INDEPENDENT"
14 December 2006
The Government's own research highlights how the care system is not simply a negligent parent but at times probably more dangerous than the family from which some children have been taken.
A study commissioned by the Home Office has looked at the link between hard drug use, sex work and various vulnerability factors. The results are astonishing, if not heartbreaking.
Less than 1 per cent of the child population is looked after by the state, but the research found that 42 per cent of young women prostitutes interviewed had been in care at some point in their lives.
"This is an extraordinary figure, which demonstrates that looked after children are very vulnerable to involvement in drug use and sexual abuse through prostitution," the report concluded.
