The vast majority are boys (96%) since girls only represent 4% of the children involved. Minors are used on deal points like small hands. Lookouts, touts or delivery men… “The logic of traffickers is to have people who are paid by the task or by the act,” says Guillaume Batigne, head of the narcotics brigade at the judicial police Parisian.
