Petition

Hold a Public Inquiry into Child Grooming Gangs (Child Rape Gangs)

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe that the child victims of the Grooming/rape gangs of horrific attacks Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford etc. deserve justice and the truth as to why they were failed so badly by the legal and judiciary system as well as the State.
This is a national disgrace and by not putting sufficient safeguards in place the abuse was allowed to continue for decades. Those responsible must be held accountable and as this is on a national scale it should not be left to local councils to investigate themselves. We need a Public Enquiry
