11:03 pm
is now ten and she says he's doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances he lives with a foster family. one positive is that his torture is over and he can see closure he'll live permanently where he is now but a possible negative his that we have to tell him that all contact with his mother is broken off. this is also raises questions about the local youth welfare office family court and police they may have failed to pass on information that could have helped the boy earlier. you know the story tragic on so many saw is i'm joined tonight by the psychologist and director of the berlin beings child protection in geo innocence in danger it's good to have you with us julia fund while i want to ask you julie we were talking earlier about it what happens to children who are in these situations this young boy we have a stand he's now about ten years old and will he ever recover from this kid can we
11:04 pm
talk about him one day having a normal life sure he can fight his life will never be as it could have been if that didn't happen. child sexual abuse changes the future of a child but they call themselves survivors because they're strong and they did survive he did survive the worst of it already the torture the selling the prostitution the fact that his mother does not protect him that his father is also one of the rapists or to me yes she was a perpetrator and she was as this sick perpetrator. so actually today she did him a favor in a way because she accepted the sentence right away in court still and she said i want to give him a sign and one of the signs that children need is that the offender takes responsibility which they rarely to usually they sort of cry about themselves is
11:05 pm
that in your old is he looking for a sign from his mother despite the fact that she is also a perpetrator sure he is he still has his mom he probably still misses her she. children told me you know everything would be fine if you or she would stop doing that you know i love my dad are enough my mom i you know i don't want to be separated from them so we need to be aware that he hinted at a confused right and what did people not recognize the signs of what happened we know i think that it's we don't want to know. we as a teacher as a neighbor as whoever i don't want to be aware of the fact that child sexual abuse happens right in my neighborhood you know not of my watch out of my street not in my building not in my school it's always somewhere else but it's not it's right next to us so we need to be aware that it does happen amongst us that we know victims and and that that's what makes it so difficult we know offenders if we know
11:06 pm
whipped him we know offenders when you say we know with vendors there are countries societies around the world where sexual offenders are put a list that is made public. that is not necessarily the case here in germany do you think though that the innocent are as protected as they should be in this country no they're not but they're also not protected and they should be in those countries where the fenders are put online because we need to be aware that those cases we're only talking about sentenced offenders and we know that only a fraction a tiny fraction of offenders is ever put to trial so that you know you have all these other still around and so if everybody focuses on the one who was put online you know i as a as an offender have haven't really easy to access children what about the dark net and child pornography we understand there were videos made of this boy being
11:07 pm
raped there out there somewhere we assume and this or this would not have been possible in its severity had there been the dark net right the internet that still media and the internet to really change the dynamics of child sexual abuse we have child sexual abuse images being traded now we have something like lifestream child sexual abuse where i sit in front of in front of a computer and you know it directs what's going on somewhere in the world and we need to be aware that this. spreading all these images really really affects survivors and we were part of an international study conducted with survivors of these crimes and these survivors tell us you need to be aware that these images lawless also you will he needs to shut down these. streams and these sources of pornography who do you who do you think is responsible for taking these images dale
11:08 pm
. i think that law enforcement this is responsible i think that governments are responsible but it's proliferating the i know it is but yeah but then you know today we have to these industries can do so many things and i know for example one of the giants google is doing great stuff when it comes to trying to detect child sexual abuse images but i do believe google could do so much more and i do believe if governments what sort of work together and really confront the issue make a difference and one of the difference is that all governments could make would be to put law enforcement in the right spot to be able to do their work but it means more manpower and better technology and what do you often wonder as i said earlier doing an angels work they are protecting children with the child protection in geo in this it's in danger based here in berlin so you thank you thank you as president
