Petition asking for Public Inquiry into Grooming Gangs

Done

I’ve signed it too. We live four miles from where much of the abuse was carried out. What was going on was local knowledge for years but people were afraid to speak out because they feared being accused of racism. The girls involved were scared of speaking out because of threats to them and their family. One girl had a child with one of the offenders and when she tried to break up with him he burned her house down, she didn’t survive. The girl was 16 years old at the time and pregnant again with her second child, the other child was 16 months old and the offender removed her from the house, put her in the garden then returned to start the fire.

Signed

Thanks for starting this thread.

Done it! Come on Grans. This is a tiny thing we can do to register our disgust at what happened to those poor girls.

Will do!

The petition is currently at over 6,000 signatures, at 10,000 the government will give a written response.
