my little sister is 12 and has recently started going out with friends during the day unsupervised. of course this isn't unusual. i used to do the same at her age, in fact even younger.
she recently went shopping to camden town with her friends and found herself in a shop which shall be known as "the scary punk shop". she told me that the owner had been reluctant to let them leave (as most shop owners are) but i know that this particular shop owner is likely to have other motives since it was this shop owner who wanted me to swap a top for sex, touched me inappropriately, asked me to "model" for him and work in his shop. i have since learnt he gets his "girls", as he refers to them, on heroin so they can not leave but i do not know much else about him.
i told my sister she is no longer allowed in that shop and to tell her friends not to go in either but this brings up a much larger issue. how can i protect her from things like this. she is so young mentally. and another scary thing is that when i was telling my sister to stay away from that shop because that man is not a nice man my little brother (age 11) said, "why? is he a rapist?"
how the hell can an 11 year old come out with something like that.
