1) The fact 12 savages thing they can sexually assault 12 year old girl
2) Plod can't be bothered to interview the girl or give out a description despite the fact there must be cctv.

Perhaps if they put something on TwitFace a dozen officers would come round?

One might have thought they'd go to the station to report the assault. Investigations are ongoing.
The girl said there were 'about 6' men, not 12. Did the other girls also report it?
Agree with OG.I certainly wouldn't be hanging around waiting for a phone call I would be straight down to the station.
Haven't any of the other girls reported this?
There appears to be a lot of facts missing in this story - how did they report it? if they had gone to the station (as one would) the police would have taken a statement straight away, did they go to hospital for a rape kit? Have her friends reported it?
Where did you get 12 from?
Rockrose //did they go to hospital for a rape kit?//
No mention of rape in the report,'sexually assaulted' can mean anything from touching to actual assault.
I am sure that Kingstanding police station closed to the public some time ago so maybe taking the girl to a police station was not a simple option.
What was the bus driver doing surly he could her the rumpus upstairs?

He would also have a good description of the men and where they got on the bus etc.
//maybe taking the girl to a police station was not a simple option.//

It would still be quicker to find the nearest one rather than hanging around for a phone call!
I am also confused as to how the girl's mum knew that the men got off the bus in Birmingham city centre. The girl was assaulted in Kingstanding, surely she got off as soon as she could? It takes about 25 minutes to get from Kingstanding to the city centre on the bus.

Oh yes that would have been the first thing a 12 year old girl or her mum would think about.

I don't suppose they even know they exist.
agchristie - so many police stations have closed to the public in the West Midlands, there isn't even one in Birmingham city centre
hc - well that's a sad state of affairs in the 21st century.

I wonder on that basis how many folk don't even bother reporting certain crimes.

I agree there seems to be bits of this story missing and apologies for saying 12 when it was only 6 men.

I still dont understand why Plod didnt go round to take particulars that way they could easily ensured the investigation was required and got details. A young girl is surely best interviewed by a female officer in her home rather than a cold Police station?

And where are the descriptions of the men?

"Haven't any of the other girls reported this?"
It would appear not, perhaps they were not supposed to be where they were?

What does it matter one girl has and plod dont seem to be bothered. Like I say write something on TwitFace that is not PC and they are round like a shot.
ymb, they are investigating this matter.
Victims of sexual assault are not interviewed in a cold police room, there are specialist suites often away from the police station that look like living rooms with soft furnishings. There are cameras discretely situated so the interview can be recorded . A kitchen area is usual so that hot and cold drinks can be provided, also a snack offered.
There will also be an examination room where the victim can be sympathetically checked for forensic evidence.
As soon as the mother received the phone call she should have called 999.

All West Midlands buses have high quality CCTV where every passenger is filmed on different cameras throughout the journey. We should expect that the police have already viewed the footage, if not they are failing in their duty.

Haven't you notice the media doesn't usually publish the descriptions, unless of course the offenders are white and British.
Question Author
That may be HC but I wasnt aware of that and likely as not neither were the mother or the alleged victim.

It stinks.

AOG, at the moment it could be anyone so I'd rather not speculate.
Rockrose

/// did they go to hospital for a rape kit? ///

Oh yes that would have been the first thing a 12 year old girl or her mum would think about.

I don't suppose they even know they exist.

If you say so -I would imagine that most adult women know about rape kits - they are not just used in full rape cases but can be used to gather DNA evidence.
Also whilst rape may not have taken place if she was sexually assaulted by 6 men I would still have taken my daughter to hospital to get her checked out!
Ditto, if it was my daughter I'd be down the hospital if appropriate (I thought all women knew about rape kits) and certainly down the station raising utter Cain.
