Dear colleagues and friends, dear specialists.

today, we will talk about the interlinkages of the SEC manifestation

and we will talk about how we can actually understand that the child is involved in the sexual exploitation

and what we can do in this situation.

I think that it's mostly important for those who are just stuck to work with this topic

and you want to understand what are the idea of the sexual exploitation manifestation

and how we can really understand what's going on with the child.

The problem of identifying the manifestation of sexual exploitation

is so significant for all of us.

As for the specialists who are working in this area

it is important for us to identify the Sexual Exploitation of Children efficiently and quickly.

And of course, it's very good if we can identify it from the very early stage,

having understood how manifestations show themselves, how they are related to each other.

We will be able to build recommendations not

only for specialists who work directly with the Sexual Exploitation of Children topic

but also for wider circle specialists who work with children and families at risk

with drug addicts, with the children who are involved in different type

of criminal activity with homeless children or street children.

So with all these categories of children

therefore,let's look at how the second manifestation is related to other problems

and whether there is a difference between offline and online sex manifestations.

First, let's look at how the Sexual Exploitation of Children manifests itself.

We can assume that there have been some changes in the child's behavior

that we could draw attention to some psychological and some social outcomes

changing of the lifestyle, changing of the behavior, which we can see.

We can understand that something is really going wrong,

but it's wrong about the sexual exploitation or this is the teenage period

or the child has other problems,difficulties at schools

or the conflicts with his parents, families, friends, whatever.

But what is important for us

For us, it's important to understand that, first of all, to realize, yes,it can happens

First of all, sexual exploitation of children

can happens with the very different categories of children.

Let's look for the different scenarios, because I think it can help you.

First of all, there is no one scenario or one idea of how the child

can be involved in the sexual exploitation.

So the first scenario is really very rarely we can prevent

because everything is happening,very quickly

so the child can be kidnaped or the child can become the victim of the sexual abuse

and after that can be sold immediately for perpetrators.

Or it can become or she can become the victims of trafficking

so the child can be sold by the family members or by

their boyfriends or girlfriends

so it happens immediately.It happens without the long period of preparations

or so.we cannot predict it.

And unfortunately, in this situation, it will be very important just to look around and just identify

that the child is in danger, generally speaking.So I can say

that in this scenario that it will be not a special manifestation for sexual exploitation.

It will be the manifestation of the dangerous situation for the concrete child.

So the second scenario is the situation in which children are at risk groups.

And we as the specialists, are usually see these children

much more clear because we understand that the child is in the risky background

or the child is living in the dangerous neighborhood

or the child belong to the somehow identified group risk.

Like, for example, using drugs or alcohol

or involved in the different types of criminal activity

or stay a long period of time on the street alone or can be run away.

Or he can be from the very poor family and he's always seeking for the possibilities of how he can get some money.

So, of course, we identify that this children in this cases

the criminals often find themselves in the social circle of such children

and they also often know how to blackmail or threaten this children.

But also we as the specialists can see this children

and we also know how to work with them.

So for us, it's just important to include the prevention of the sexual exploitation

in our routine work and in our prevention programs,

in our projects and programs for food for street kids

or prevention between the drug addicts or between the

children who are living on the street.

how we can prevent their involving in the sexual exploitation.

What is also important for us that the children from this group

they somehow know about that it can happens.

And for us, it's important to understand what they know exactly about the sexual exploitation

and do they know how to protect themselves or not.

And usually we can see that if the child suddenly got much more money

or he got a lot of expensive toys, expensive clothes

they start to show the different gadgets. They try to show more open behavior.

And you can understand that they have more money.

For us, this is not a good signal.

Another situation is that the children who are actually on the job market

it can be the legal job market.

They are looking for a job and sometimes they cannot protect themselves.

So we will tell you different stories about the different scenarios

but I will also tell you about the third scenario

it is when the children are the objects of grooming for perpetrators.

The criminals.They gradually gain the trust of the children

or they appeal for their needs for attention and understanding.

And depending of the passive of involvement, manifestation can also be different

the children as the rule, try to hide what happens with them

and the perpetrators also know how to manipulate the feeling of the child

and how to hide what's going on.

The behavior usually change and they can become more withdrawn,closed,irritable

They can react more emotionally on some of the events they can show unexcited.

it can be very different.

But in this third scenario, usually the perpetrators are trying to reach the child.

So let's just repeat a little bit.

the first scenario

Something happened with the child, like very quickly, child was not ready.

The criminals were not looking for this concrete child.

So it's mostly the situation which appear.

The second scenario is when the child is at risk

and they can look for the possibility how they can get some money

how they can be involved in the different types of activities.

The third scenario, perpetrators are looking for the child.

They can look on websites, they can look for the social media social networks.

And usually the child show that they need something

that they need attention, that they have problems, that they don't have friends

that they have some conflict and the perpetrators can really use it.

So this is mainly the very different ideas of what we can see.
