Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE)

Child sexual exploitation and child criminal exploitation are two forms of abuse that involve the manipulation and exploitation of children for the benefit of others. Child sexual exploitation occurs when a child is coerced, deceived, or forced into sexual activities, often in exchange for something they desire, such as affection, gifts, or attention. Child criminal exploitation, on the other hand, involves children being coerced or manipulated into committing crimes, such as theft, drug dealing, or even trafficking, with the perpetrators profiting from the children's actions. Both forms of exploitation can cause severe emotional, psychological, and physical harm to the victims and require immediate intervention and support to help them recover and heal.
