(Are we allowed to discuss this?)

One of the victims has waived her anonymity and spoken out about the abuse she faced. Her interview is shocking and brings shame on the support services in the area.

What's even worse is that stuff like this is still going on. Just yesterday, 7 were arrested in Oxford on similar charges (www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-39466980)

And unfortunately, due to swingeing police cutbacks, this " problem" will never be fully dealt with.

I have it on good authority that this " problem" is widespread in this country.
Rotherham is the tip of a ginormous iceberg. Fact.

I agree, that's why I linked to the Oxford case too.

In working-class areas, there's huge potential for this kind of abuse. I'm from a poor Northern town where this kind of thing happens often, just not on the same scale as Rotherham

I don't really know what to say other than the catastrophic failure of the police and social workers cannot be allowed to be repeated.
