Playland: A Case Study of Grooming and Teenage Prostitution

Anthony Daly, Author of Playland

Playland was an amusement arcade in London, England.  It was an attractive magnet to many homeless youths and runaways who made their way there in search of companionship and employment. One of these youths was Anthony Daly, a young Irish lad who sought to break away from ‘The Troubles’ in Ireland, and begin a new life.

He soon found himself involved in prostitution just to stay alive. There was an organized rent boy (prostitution) racket run from the Playland arcade and a number of arrests were made.  The case came to be known as the Playland trial.

Daly explains that the Playland trial was sandwiched between two other much bigger trials held at the same time, the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six bombing trials. It was a time of hostile relations in Britain towards the Irish community because of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) violence in Britain.  His abusers had him between a rock and a hard place because of this.  He could either do as he was told and have sex with numerous clients his wealthy pimps introduced him to, or as he says, “…be taken to a police cell to have a terrorist confession kicked out of me.”

I embarked on a journey into a very dark realm: a world of drink and drugs, of gangsters and rent boys, of businessmen, politicians, pimps and paedophiles. Because of what happened to me and the fact that I kept a diary at the time, I am in a unique position to tell the real story of Playland.

Narcissists are US: Narcissistic Family, Narcissistic Society UPDATED

Ever wonder why there are so many wacko narcissists/sociopaths running things?

 

The microcosm is the macrocosm.

Yes, it starts All in the Family.

Over the course of a few generations, mainly after WWII in the US, family structures have been socially engineered to be narcissistic and/or sociopathic.

 

The Century of the Self

“Have we been unwittingly “sleeping with the enemy,” inducing trauma even as we try to heal it?”

In Consumerism and Identity: Some Psychoanalytic Considerations, we learn:

In On Narcissism (1914), Freud described the ego-ideal as the heir of infantile narcissism and as a psychic agency (an ego) capable of conscious self-observation…The Freudian concept of the ego-ideal is an amalgam of idealized images, fantasies and wishes against which an individual measures their experience.  It represents an attempt in later life to recreate the condition of primary narcissism, the period of infancy when a child imagined itself to be the centre of a loving admiring world.

In this process, often referred to as the ‘ego project’, the ego-ideal can be built on cultural and professional achievements, on nostalgic recreations of a golden past, or utopian visions of a glorious future. (Lasch, 1980; Gabriel & Lang, 1995; Schwartz, 1990) The project involves a fashioning of an image in which an individual can admire their self and through which he/she can gain the respect of others.

In The Sociopath Next Door, author Martha Stout reveals that:

We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people—one in twenty-five—has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. And they can do literally anything at all and feel absolutely no guilt.
