Have The West Midlands Police have a policy to not prosecute parents of FGM

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

A recent Tweet by The West Midlands Police admitted to a policy of not prosecuting parents of victims of FGM as it is not in the best interest of the child!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Policing in the West Midlands is the responsibility of the local Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), who is elected. You could contact the PCC directly to raise your concerns:
