Astha Ramaiya [Co-author] Shared the Journal Article - Published in Child Abuse & Neglect, June 2026
A new systematic review published in Child Abuse & Neglect examined the link between mental health and technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse (TF-CSEA). Analysing 10 studies with over 25,000 participants across seven countries, researchers found that depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and prior trauma were consistently associated with victimisation. Crucially, the relationship appears bidirectional with mental health difficulties both preceding and resulting from exploitation; creating potential cycles of repeated harm. Perhaps most striking: traditional parental monitoring through technological surveillance showed limited protective effects. What actually mattered? The quality of parent-child relationships including, open communication, emotional warmth, and trust. The findings suggest prevention efforts should combine universal school-based programmes building emotional resilience with targeted support for high-risk youth, while parent education should prioritise connection over control. With 12.5% of children globally experiencing online solicitation annually, understanding these psychological pathways is essential for effective child protection.

Thanks Michele for drawing our attention to this article. I have shared it in Constellation community with credit to you. Please scroll down and you will find it here http://aidscompetence.ning.com/forum/topics/what-experience-can-we-...
I found this statement powerful- Oosterhoff and Wilkinson remind us that, in mistrusting ‘community’..., while failing to provide sufficient resources to those same individuals to enable their ‘appropriate’ management of the disease.
I am working with Pauline Oosterhoff and recently we had this discussion. Both community engagement and a strong link between communities and those providing medical services is essential for effective response.
