Grooming gang failures and Dereliction of duty in Public Office charges required

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We need independent hearing resulting in charges & sentencing towards Police, Social Services,Local Councils/councillors MPs (past and present) with regard to unlawfully ‘recognising’ & categorising ‘child prostitution’ to obfuscate/stifle/neglect further investigation. Failed to protect children
Up until now mistakes are identified, individual accountability is absent. The councils who failed to act, vote on whether to have further investigations into their own inaction. We need to know where the idea/s around fear to further investigate these atrocities spawned from, resulting in delusional ill conceived perceptions of law by those required to uphold/interpret the law, & their actual inaction whilst in positions of public expectation & responsibility. Many still hold public positions

Why it was rejected

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

Decisions about investigating and prosecuting alleged crimes 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 conduct a Public Inquiry into grooming gangs, but decisions about whether to bring any prosecutions would still be a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service.
