Child Financial Exploitation

Child Financial Exploitation happens when criminals persuade or pressure young people to move or hide money made from crime, often using their bank accounts in return for gifts or payment. Parents should be aware of warning signs such as unexplained money or new items, secretive behaviour around phones or bank accounts, suspicious transactions, or new influences encouraging “easy money” online.
