Sexually abused children 'failed' by NHS mental health services claims charity

We look into accusations that some NHS mental health services across the UK could be failing children who've been sexually abused. The children's charity, the NSPCC, talked to a thousand professionals who work with children. Lucie was first raped at the age of 7. By 12 she was self-harming and tried to kill herself. She once set fire to herself with bleach. It took 4 years for her to get proper treatment and therapy. Our reporter Angus Crawford has been to hear her story. Her words are spoken for her.
