What the petition asks
I would like discussions in parliament as to why the case of child grooming gangs in Hull was dismissed despite victims coming forward and overwhelming evidence
Over the last week it has been well publicised a gang around Hull have been grooming young girls and threatening them with violence if they don't cooperate.
I am hoping to start this petition to get this discussed in parliament to reopen this case and hopefully bring these people to justice for these dreadful crimes and stop these gangs from repeating these treacherous crimes on our children or grandchildren and get some justice for the poor girls who have been let down by our justice system

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about investigating alleged offences and prosecuting these are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to hold a public inquiry into police investigations into alleged offences related to grooming, if that's something you would like to happen.
