Jeanne (name changed), 22, has been involved in prostitution since her parents died when she was 17 (Democratic Republic of Congo).
• A word like 'smashed' attracts attention, but such language tends to over-simplify the situation, so that readers will not consider the complexity of the issues involved.
• Is the conviction of one man likely to be the end of the trade, as 'smashed' implies? Can the problem be solved by legal action alone? This all sounds rather final, but we need to follow up on the story. Do things really change? If not, what else needs to be done? What happens to the children?
• The phrase 'child prostitutes' suggests that the children had freely chosen to enter prostitution. But most children become involved in prostitution because they are desperate. Sexually exploited children should never be seen as responsible for the crimes that are committed against them.
