The reason said relative is not chucked out of the house or arrested by the police is that sex offenders are very manipulative and either threaten the young girl with violence to keep quiet or make her believe that she won't be believed if she tells anyone
She starts spending more and more time away from her house , scared of what's going to happen to her ......shes going to be abused for ****s sake ......or beaten .......and has nowhere to go
So she starts hanging around with the wrong crowd who introduce her to drugs , maybe just cannabis at first
Eventually she flees home and manages to get sub standard bedsit housing with a dodgy landlord who sometimes will have sex with her in return for some dope
Soon she gets a hit of cheap heroin and before you know it she's using it daily to escape the horror of her sexual abuse
And in no time she is addicted to the stuff and the only way to fund her habit is to steal or go on the game
This is the reality that the police , social services , the drug agencies and those who provide move on accommodation to these young people deal with every day
These people are not " druggies " , they have had awful upbringings ........and we are not talking about living on a tough estate or getting a belt off your old man for coming home late
These people are human beings with stories behind their addictions and they require help and support
A minority don't want it and they along with the dealers need locking up
You display an amazing lack of knowledge about what's going on and the easy spiral into addiction
I want my old dear to get good care but that should be in addition to other social care , including help for , as you call them , druggies
