Reading it now its horrific. People saying we heard screams- and yet did nothing??? How does a person just think that no im not going to report this, most likely because they cant be bothered/ dont want to be involved. Scum of the earth the dad is. The stepmother ( and her sister!) going on and on about how they feel bad etc and dont do anything!

@RunningOutOfImaginitiveUsernames what is there to discuss though? He's admitted to killing her?

I'm shocked at how this thread has panned out.

I would like to say that sexual and physical abuse spans ALL cultures and religions.

The common denominator that spans across ALL this is men.

Yes but people are more interested in the step mum and aunt. They are both culpable obviously, but again it is the women being talked about and not the man who actually did it.

I'm not. The op knew what they were doing I reckon.

Re home school yes obviously this is when things got even worse form sara but many texts about her being badly beaten happened when she was still at school.

Are you seriously telling me there is nothing a school should be doing about the constant talk and showing of porn in the playground? And nothing the school should be doing to educate parents who have no idea about the dangers and are causing danger to other children at school? Yes, there is something you can do about children who tell teachers to fuck off - there is a lot you can do in fact - for a start the idea of telling a child what is and is not acceptable behaviour appears to be beyond most teachers, and no sorting out of root causes. And yes, a lot of substandard teaching. And yes, a lot of problems with the curriculum, so that is government responsibility, but half the time the teachers cannot teach the curriculum as they do not have the expertise themselves because schools cannot retain decent teachers.

you’re post makes me so cross. You deliberately misinterpreted everything I said.

  1. of course schools try to tackle online porn etc. we are constantly talking about it in PSHE. Schools are banned in lessons and in between lessons. The vast majority of schools (like mine) have banned them altogether and increasing numbers of schools insist children hand in their phones when they arrive at school. However loads get around this through various methods and how on earth is online porn teacher’s fault? The vast vast majority of issues children have online happen outside school, at home, when their parents are not supervising what their children are doing.
  2. well duh of course if a child tells us to fuck off they get in trouble. Again and again. After school detention? They don’t turn up. Parents don’t enforce. Half the time parents tell us it’s our fault.
  3. can’t retain decent teachers. Well maybe because people like you always say how crap teachers are and blame us for society’s ills and also expect us to solve everything that people leave.

I spend my working days in the criminal courts. Unfortunately violence against women and girls is incredibly ingrained in white British culture, as evidenced by the revolving door to the crown court populated by white men.

I think the difference is that white women are more likely because they feel more able to access DV services and to speak to the police. For many reasons Muslims or British Asian women don’t appear to be reporting the violence. I actually can’t remember the last time I saw a Muslim woman (obviously I don’t know everyone’s religion but there are often cultural signs) in court as a victim of DV. Maybe as a society we need to think about how we can make it easier for different cultures to access help and to speak up.

This!! Many women from these backgrounds don't report crimes against them due to fear of stigma or repercussions. If they get away, they're just thankful for a fresh start and leave the past behind them without ensuring the perpetrators have paid the price of their actions.

As for child abuse- it goes unreported so often. As a society, we are conditioned to mind our own business and don't seem to want to get involved. When people try to, it's thankless!

@lemondropsandchimneytops they are referring to the extreme cleanliness of the house and how spartan it was as well.

If a British person is violent towards their children it’s usually …. because they are abusive

No shit sherlock. Of course people who beat their children to death do it because they are abusive. What an inane comment.

Do you think it is an integral part of Muslim culture to put your child in a home-made hood and beat them to death? Because it really really isn’t.

To be honest I think it is part of other religions to use violence but it is interpreted differently to the many number of people that follow the religion and they don’t all choose to do it. They may follow other parts of the religion and not others

This is a current case also on trial, a non-biological "care giver" and the child's mother both on trial for the death of this poor little girl.

Yes exactly, a male non biological partner. Not a step parent. Men unfortunately do lots of awful things to other men, women and children. Men need better support to address toxic masculinity mental health issues and a variety of other problems. Men. Not step parents.

It seems very weird to me

I expect Sara was the house slave and that is why she was taken out of school.

I don't suppose the men did that cleaning. Or the stepmum who had 4 under 5's.

It's a side issue but I think she was taking out of school because they couldn't hide the signs of their abuse anymore, not even by covering her up. Questions were being asked and they knew that was likely to continue. Not to say that she wasn't also the house slave.

Not all people from the same religion/ethnicity/culture has the same beliefs, or will use violence or rape.
some will, including in our own culture and ethnicity.

It used to be a thing in previous generations but not anymore. If a British person is violent towards their children it’s usually due to mental health or because they are abusive, rather than cultural or religious beliefs. There is nothing in British culture or religion about using violence

Random but does anyone find the house weirdly ultra clean and tidy and almost sterile? Doesn’t seem like the sort of house children live in, just all very strange. And where do they get all their money from? He’s a cab driver, not sure what the others do and they’re driving an expensive Audi and flying business class in emirates (just seen footage of them being arrested). All just extremely strange, I’m wondering if there is some sort of illegal money making going on there as well somewhere. Not particularly relevant I know as anyone from any background can be a child abuser - my own Mum for example, very wealthy, middle class.

Ignore the pigeon. This is an important discussion to have and it would be a shame to be derailed by it.

Like moths to a flame the racists come. Well done OP. You knew your bigoted opening posts would attract this sort of vileness I bet.

I do not want a return to the death penalty in the UK.

Unfortunately the more people like you are pushed to the margins and not debated the more you will dig your heels in.
