Ukrainian teenager with special needs trafficked to Ireland

Last week, Tusla said it was dealing with an "unprecedented" situation regarding unaccompanied children arriving here, not just from Ukraine.

A teenage girl from Ukraine was taken into emergency care amid fears she had been trafficked here and that she had been groomed in her home country.

The case of the girl, who may have an intellectual disability and who is also suspected of having suffered neglect back in Ukraine, is among the latest batch of cases highlighted by the Child Law Project, which reports on family law cases, often involving neglect and abuse.
