Pen Raksa, a consultant with All Children, discusses the impact of traumatic experiences on children, particularly those who have experienced nightmares. These nightmares are like flashbacks of traumatic events, and they can interfere with a child's future, leading to trust issues, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. To identify if a child is being exploited, Raksa suggests noticing unexplainable bruises or wounds, observing their school performance, frequent missing or late home visits, drug or alcohol use, and suspicious returns. If a child is found to be an exploiter, Raksa advises reporting them to authorities or organizations for advice and investigation. She also encourages anyone who is unsure of who to contact for help. The interviewer thanks Raksa for sharing valuable information and wishing everyone a happy day.
