In some instances in the West Midlands, teenage girls have been offered lip fillers and beauty products as methods to groom them into carrying out criminal activity.
Jade Hibbert of St Giles Trust stated: 'We have seen a massive shift across the Midlands of more and more female children being exploited, manipulated with Botox, fake eyelashes, and fillers.'
Charities have warned that women and girls continue to fall under the radar, remaining the 'invisible' victims, often viewed as valuable recruits due to attracting less attention from law enforcement.
