Child-on-Child Abuse Crisis Escalates
Description
Child-on-child sexual abuse is surging, with offenders averaging just 14 years old, sparking national outrage as victims face trauma while perpetrators—often teens—receive rehabilitation instead of jail. Recent high-profile cases, including filmed rapes leading to youth orders rather than custody, have ignited calls for sentencing reform. Critics argue the system prioritizes rehabilitation over justice, forcing victims to endure harm for the sake of the offender’s future. The Attorney General has referred key cases to appeal, while lawmakers push for broader review of guidelines for violent crimes. Experts link the rise to online content and a disturbing “eyeball economy,” making this a complex, urgent crisis demanding bold solutions.
