"Official reports into abuse by grooming gangs have identified racism fears as an issue for almost a decade, but Mr O’Brien said cases seen for IICSA’s latest report were “very recent indeed”.
In 2013, a report by parliament’s Home Affairs Committee considered a widespread perception that the majority of perpetrators were of Asian or of Muslim origin.
It reported that the fear of being seen as racist may have hindered the detection of and intervention in abuse and said it was “essential” for professionals to raise concerns freely."
You could argue that the perpetrators knew this, so being a certain ethnicity, you might say, did have a certain privilege.
It was an absolute disgrace and a pointer of how folk are being bullied into keeping their traps shut by the loonies.
