Looking forward to watching this tonight. Feel it might be one to watch with your teenagers..

Of course it is still happening. How dare that whistleblower CSE woman take on the establishment and think she can win.

Well done Sara Rowbotham for doing this and keeping track of the perpetrators. You should be given the highest award in the land and at least a place in the House of Lords.

What a harrowing case. And this is just three girls, three of thousands used and abused in this way. Horrific. But I will watch because this needs to be told and needs to be listened to and needs to be never forgotten.

TizzyDongue · 17/05/2017 19:29

Here's another article:

www.bbc.com/news/uk-18004153

(And it feels wrong that I'm linking a BBC article; a organisation now infamous for allowing the sexual exploration of girls by its white men)

This article discusses that whilst white men most certainly do groom and exploit young girls, the do so alone and it is mostly Asian Muslims that act in a group.

Elendon · 17/05/2017 19:31

Sad fact is white men do groom and sexually exploit young girls. Many paedophiles are white. In truth when the perpetrator is white their race or religion aren't a factor.

Most paedophiles who are sentenced and jailed are white origin. Gangs who are jailed tend to be of other colour origins.

Elendon · 17/05/2017 19:38

Regarding white paedophiles, there is a collusion of course, because everyone knows there is something going on, but they ignore it because the person doing it is of high standing and/or well liked.

The converse happens in collaborative abuse involving communities of colour. A cabal of men are doing it, but no one is any the wiser.

Elendon · 17/05/2017 19:40

In other words, one is in the open, but ignored and the other is in secret and ignored.

The most telling observation though is that those being abuse, mainly young girls, are not believed - that's a shocking testament and legacy.

chosenone · 17/05/2017 20:02

Again. Interesting points.
Anyone know if this is an issue in other european countries? I presume it is. It's just we have such a class divide here. The lower working classes can be easily written off as 'scum'. I found is so disturbing that although they saw them as 'boyfriends' they were still putting up with being treated so badly. They have that little self worth and self esteem. Sad

Childrenofthestones · 17/05/2017 20:56

I have been to all the main news sites including the BBC and I cant find anywhere a list of cases to see just how widespread these grooming gangs are.
I eventually found a blog that had collated it all.
To say I was shocked is an understatement.

I have just tried to post the list and I couldn't as it is so ling that it breaks to 15,000 characters limit on this site

hmcAsWas · 17/05/2017 20:57

This is very well put together - very raw and upsetting but also thought provoking. Not sure it helps race relations in this country however

ASauvingnonADay · 17/05/2017 21:07

Childrenofthestones - have you got a link to the blog?

OP posts:
Childrenofthestones · 17/05/2017 21:11

These children, thousands of them, were left to their fate in deference to social cohesion.

Can you even begin to think what the authorities would have done if Pakistani parents had come to them complaining about thousands of their daughters being raped by white gangs?

KenDoddsDadsDog · 17/05/2017 21:14

Maggie is a cunt

TizzyDongue · 17/05/2017 21:16

Is that the equivalent flip though? Did the families of the 1000s of white daughters go to the police? I think they didn't: which is why it happens.

TizzyDongue · 17/05/2017 21:17

Oh ok - looks like they did go to the police

Childrenofthestones · 17/05/2017 21:19

Note on Keighley 2016:On the basis of 2011 census data, one in every 250 Keighley Muslim men of working age were in the dock for this one rape case. On 3 March 2016Keighley Central councillor Khadim Hussain said there are 80-90 more cases in the pipeline. On 26 May 2016 there were said to be 261 suspects being investigated in 220 cases in Keighley and Bradford involving 188 girls, but the proportion of suspects who are Muslims was not stated.

Note on Rotherham: According to Andrew Norfolk in The Times on 24 February 2016, “The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has begun 55 investigations into alleged police misconduct linked to Rotherham child sex crimes. It has received complaints against 92 named officers.An investigation into all past sex grooming cases in the town, begun in June and led by the National Crime Agency, has identified more than 300 suspects and 9,000 lines of inquiry.” According to the 2011 census, there were around 3,000 Muslim men of working age in Rotherham. If 300 of these are suspects, that’s one in every tenRotherham Muslim men of working age who are police suspects.
