  I am shocked that not one governmental socalled "helping" dept like social services, a doctor (cuz what 10-12 year old is able to escape a visit to a doctor or hospital), a teacher or school official (see my last comment), a neighbour, a relative, any of the many people who look at street workers and sneer, complain or call the police to try to get them moved out of their neighbourhood.

Every single adult who knows this is happening to a child and doesn't report it shares the guilt for what is happening to her from that day forward.

http://www.child-abuse-effects.com/duty-to-report.html

In Canada, if someone knows of or suspects that a child is being abused, that person has a legal obligation to report the known or suspected abuse. Failure to report can result in charges being laid, as well as a fine of up to $10,000....

All of us must take responsibility when we suspect abuse is taking place, not only from a legal standpoint, but from moral and ethical obligations as well.
