Why does this country have very little compassion for the victims of grooming gangs?

Firstly this is not a post about race! I understand men of all races have been involved in grooming gangs! This is mainly about why the British authorities and public have very little sympathy or will to try and solve the problem.

I find it horrendous how so many young girls have been exposed to the most horrific acts of rape, gang rape, murder, forced pregnancies throughout the UK over the decades etc...

Some of these girls where as young as 11!! Most where under 16 and grew up in care homes or came from very deprived backgrounds. Most where white.

When I see all the cases of this happening throughout the UK and hear how the POLICE, SOCIAL SERVICES, LOCAL COUNCIL and media gave it very little attention... Some of the documents showed that the council in Rotherham openly told it's staff to stop mentioning it in reports. The police would often lie blame with the victims and said it needed to tread carefully due to racial tension, and the social services would describe the men as their bfs..

  • a girl of 16 had been raped by over 300 men before she turned 16
  • some of them would disappear from care homes and where locked in flats for weeks where men would come rape them
  • some girls disappeared completely (thought murdered
  • some of them where trafficked around the country to be raped by other men
  • some girls murdered
  • 1400 girls raped in Rotherham under 16 and only 28 men have been convicted!!!

It shocks how people are still scared to talk about this or have no interest to do so... But when a woman is wolf whistled in the street.... Well conversations need to be had.

Is this because the children are white working class?
The majority of offenders in the cases are predominantly British Pakistani?
The children been brought up in care?

I do feel class played more a role, I feel if they were middle/upper class the authorities would have stamped it out immediately.

The Rotherham grooming inaction was or is the latest in a catalogue of failures by South Yorkshire Police including the Hillsborough cover up and lies.

Someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump.... It's wrong... Even Joe Biden said it was wrong. I support trump. 🤷🏼‍♀️

You were hashtagging #MAGA and talking about ‘hateful leftists’.

Your agenda is obvious “Louisa”.

Agree with this 👆

Also you say you support Trump @Louisaaa

Does his record of sexually abusing women sit ok with you?

All abuse against women and girls needs to stop.

I haven’t searched anyone else’s posting history, but found out about that assassination attempt from here and looked to find out what happened. It’s awful that there was an attempted assassination- think what you like about him - that was shocking footage, and innocent people were hurt.
