A tired old topic??? Thats staggering, its an issue that has affected thousands of the most vulnerable in our society, the surface has barely been scratched with the enormity of the problem and its still happening and being covered up.

Brooker11 Â Â 10 #38 Posted March 4, 2020 Rotherham abuse victim Sammy Woodhouse spoke out yesterday how she and her family have been threatened, harassed and had their address made public to prevent her speaking out about the actions of senior authorities in CSE cases, it shows how deeply this issue runs and how much there is to hide if these tactics have to be resorted to, disgraceful.

Stranza   10 #39 Posted March 4, 2020 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/world/berlin-to-compensate-victims-of-paedophile-foster-scheme-mnw5bsx35?wgu=270525_54264_1583327787377_c19297df01&wgexpiry=1591103787&utm_source=planit&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_content=22278  I don't think this is so far away from our grooming scandal. Ok so it wasn't explicitly said but in effect it's what happened. POCA or criminal injuries compensation, something to help resettlement.

Indeed. Surely any current trials/sentencing is a subject that people are allowed to have their own opinions on and may wish to discuss (subject to forum rules blah blah blah).

Lex Luthor   10 #43 Posted March 5, 2020 No, it's not a tired old topic for the people still living with this nightmare.  It's not only the groomers that need to be held to account.  Time after time, we're hearing of these child victims being collected from state run children's homes, in full view of those charged with protecting the child victims. This scandal runs very deep.   When is Sheffield going to have its enquiry?

Exactly this, apart from a few people in Rotherham that lost their jobs (with handsome pay offs) no one in authority has really been brought to book, this needs to change.

Westie1889   0 #46 Posted March 7, 2020 For me this whole issue is the most disgraceful episode in our countries recent history. Hundreds if not thousands of innocent children first abused, and then ignored by the authorities who were then complicit in some cases of enabling further abuse. The issue is still further compounded by apologists who in their efforts to appear PC and ‘right on’ use the fact that all ethnicities are capable of CSE to defend or excuse these evil crimes. It’s the worst case of Two wrongs don’t make a right that I have ever seen and shows a total lack of compassion and intelligence. The facts are that 94% of grooming cases investigated in the last few years involve Pakistani men, and if you want to get really specific it’s Pakistani men from particular tribal regions. it’s obvious there is a cultural issue, these are areas where it’s acceptable to marry 12 year old girls and so on so what is seen as normal there is illegal and immoral here. It needs calling out to stop it, and the cover-up by the authorities and the media perpetuates the problem and creates more victims. Compare the media coverage to that of a similar scale disaster - Grenfell. It just doesn’t compare and I just don’t understand why this lack of coverage is continuing once the facts are known. I know people involved in these cases on both the prosecution and the victim-support side and this isn’t going away anytime soon, in fact it could be said that what we have seen so far is the tip of the iceberg. There must be a public enquiry backed by legal status or the authority figures simply won’t give evidence when asked (as most of Rotherham council did). Also otherwise decent people need to stop being apologists for the perpetrators in some misguided attempt to fight racism, this only makes you part of the problem rather than the solution.    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
