Children Raped, Thanks To Political Correctness

A jaw-droppingly evil story from the UK.

A reader sends in this jaw-droppingly evil story from the UK. Excerpts:

Around 1,400 children were sexually exploited in one town over a 16-year period, a damning report has said.

The report on events in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, between 1997 and 2013 found that in more than a third of these cases the youngsters were already known to agencies.

It said there had been “blatant” collective failures by Rotherham council’s leadership.

“Sexually exploited” in this case means, according to the official report, “children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally-violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone.”

And they were put into sexual slavery around the north of England. How did the sex-slavers get away with it for so long? According to the official investigator, senior police officials refused to believe the victims. And worse. Get this:

The report said: “By far the majority of perpetrators were described as ‘Asian’ by victims.”

But, she said, councillors seemed to think is was a one-off problem which they hoped would go away and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist”.

She said: “Others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.”

“Asian” here means Pakistani. The report says that authorities will likely never learn how many children were raped and sexually exploited by the gang; their estimate, they figure, is “conservative.” An estimated 1,600 children in a single town!

The head of the local council resigned in disgrace in the wake of the findings, but that’s as far as it goes. No council officers will face disciplinary action. 

You think it’s just the Catholic Church? You are wrong.

Here is a link to the official independent commission report.  Excerpts from it:

In her 2006 report, she stated that ‘it is believed by a number of workers that one of the difficulties that prevent this issue [CSE] being dealt with effectively is the ethnicity of the main perpetrators’.

11.6  She also reported in 2006 that young people in Rotherham believed at that time that the Police dared not act against Asian youths for fear of allegations of racism. This perception was echoed at the present time by some young people we met during the Inquiry, but was not supported by specific examples.

11.7  Several people interviewed expressed the general view that ethnic considerations had influenced the policy response of the Council and the Police, rather than in individual cases. One example was given by the Risky Business project Manager (1997- 2012) who reported that she was told not to refer to the ethnic origins of perpetrators when carrying out training. Other staff in children’s social care said that when writing reports on CSE cases, they were advised by their managers to be cautious about referring to the ethnicity of the perpetrators.

The UK Muslim Women’s Network produced a report on CSE in September 2013 which drew on 35 case studies of women from across the UK who were victims, the majority of whom were Muslim. It highlighted that Asian girls were being sexually exploited where authorities were failing to identify or support them. They were most vulnerable to men from their own communities who manipulated cultural norms to prevent them from reporting their abuse. It described how this abuse was being carried out. ‘Offending behaviour mostly involved men operating in groups . . . The victim was being passed around and prostituted amongst many other men. Our research also showed that complex grooming ‘hierarchies’ were at play. The physical abuse included oral, anal and vaginal rape; role play; insertion of objects into the vagina; severe beatings; burning with cigarettes; tying down; enacting rape that included ripping clothes off and sexual activity over the webcam.’ This description mirrors the abuse committed by Pakistani-heritage perpetrators on white girls in Rotherham.

The report also quotes an unidentified “senior officer” of the local police force as saying local (male) Muslim religious leaders were less than helpful in identifying men within their community who were engaged or believed to be engaged in this sort of thing.

Again: you think it’s just the Catholic Church? The Rotherham Council. The BBC with Jimmy Savile. In-groups protect their own. People who don’t want to see evil and act against it will come up with any reason at all — liberal, conservative, anything — to avoid being courageous and just.
