I saw a YT short about how it's pretty common for preteens and teens to just loiter in the streets at night and basically pr*stitute themselves. I think that's one of the worst but lesser-known side effects of their toxic work culture. If your parents are expected to work until the trains stop, then who the fuck are raising their children? They're probably fending for themselves as soon as they're old enough to go and from school alone. Since it's probably embedded in their culture by now for teenagers to engage in such dangerous behavior, they don't see anything too wrong with sexualizing children even after they themselves become adults.
