Tina Redmond was sexually abused as a child by a man. As a teenager, she suffered panic attacks, fear and nightmares. She didn't tell anyone about the abuse and found it very difficult to concentrate. She tried to take her own life during her despair.

At 14 she ran away from home and lived on the street in Dublin for around six months.

One night, she attended a party in a field where everyone was on drugs, having sex and burning cars. She said she was so terrified that she pretended to take drugs and as soon as the party "died down" she went to the gardai and asked for help.

She was placed in foster care and received a lot of counseling.

Tina's troubles though did not end there. A photographer duped her into glamour modelling at just 17, until her foster carer put a stop to it.

Now a married mum of two with a business of her own, Tina wants to share her story to warn others of the dangers faced by vulnerable teenagers today.
