The chilling question is: How many more children may have been subjected to this kind of abuse? The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) said victims included Thai children as well as thousands of children from other countries. Studies show survivors of child sexual abuse are known to have reduced psychological and physical well-being throughout their life; they'll suffer problems with family and intimate relationships; they'll struggle in their education, careers and faith; and they are also two to four times more likely to become victims of sexual, physical or emotional abuse again in their lifetime, according to The UK Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. We sympathise with the parents and guardians who sent their children to Nene modelling. Although the seediness of many of Thailand's modelling agencies is generally recognised, when it comes to child modelling, there should be no negligence.
