That must have played some part. But as far as the police were concerned there may also have been the thought that as these children were 'in care' they were not worth helping.
sandy YMF latest post above is so off the wall
do you think it is tongue in cheek...
I wish I cold write like that : and the tide of black skins storming the mountains of Mourne make the hackles on the back of my neck rise. The fearless RUC, mindful of their duty to protect all Irish ....
/// Tuesday’s report concluded that by far the majority of perpetrators were Asian men, and said council officials had been unwilling to address the issue for fear of being labelled racist. ///

/// The report said council staff were scared of being accused of racism by flagging up the issue in a town of nearly 260,000, where 8 per cent were from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. ///
Colinandjess:"leftie liberal or a racist?
I know which I would rather be!! "
well I must confess to being baffled by this declaration, are you saying that it would have been racist to do anything about this and thus you therefore agree with the innaction to avoid being thus labelled?
There you have it straight from the horses mouth, is it any wonder that the officials were prepared to let this child abuse take place, they are all scared of being called a racist.
PP not it is not tongue in cheek, but then I suspect you are attempting the usual leftie liberal manner of belittling a poster rather than present an argument against the post.
Your post however makes no sense whatsoever - much as usual I suppose.
I think there's a motto above the door of the Old Bailey in London, 'Defend the children of the poor...'
While that's a reference to the entire judicial system, does anyone really believe that the police direct as much attention towards defending 'chavs', or their children, as they do to looking after the interests of better off people?
Everyone in the public sector is brainwashed and bullied into not saying or thinking anything that could be construed as racist and nothing is more important, not even the welfare of vulnerable children. Why are people so afraid of being accused of being racist? I don't give a toss, I just say what I think and if I get accused of being racist so what, I don't really care? I can think of worse things to be called, like a rapist of underage children for example.
