Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

Spot on, by the time (at latest) that people reach their teenage years they should know the difference between right & wrong, good & bad behaviour, and be well on the way to developing morals that will guide them through life.

The problem as I see it, is that some countries have a different view on various things that are perceived as 'right & wrong', and a different moralistic attitude towards the way life is lived and how others are treated.

I'm afraid Religion plays a big part in this, history is rife with examples of 'my God is bigger than your God' and the conflicts that follow.

It's also fair to say that if your early years are governed by bad parents and poor schooling, you may well pick up the wrong outlook on life and find you can't (or won't) fit into society.

Certain crimes seem to be more prevalent in certain communities. That cannot and should not be ignored.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

Agreed.

Political correctness would have us believe that a person's race etc is always irrelevant in every situation, but this is simply not true.

If relevant, to give them chance to make any adjustments in the usual service for me, I mention that I have a disability. Fairly often remarks such as "that's irrelevant" or "we don't treat disabled people any differently, we're not allowed to" are made. I then have to explain that always treating everybody the same is not equality and is against the law.

There is still a problem when the diversity side is favoured over the equality side.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

In some cases to do so is inappropriate, in others it's the correct thing to do.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

As i’ve Said before I agree there is an issue with the British Pakistani/ Asian part of the population.

Is there an equal problem with the white catholic clergy part of the population?

Is there an equal problem just with white men, is the real issue just with certain men of any nationality/ religion?

Is the common theme actually just vulnerable children and a failure by society to protect them.

Is it the real scandal just ignoring children at lower end of society, and the establishment allowing them to be abused and not caring?

How many children from upper to middle class backgrounds were abused?

Isn’t the case that evil men of any background, race or religion will prey on vulnerable children, and when those children are ignored by society and allowed to be abused by the authorities by those that are supposed to be protecting them.

Monsters come in many forms,

Seven men have been found guilty of grooming and abusing young girls in Rotherham, including one who was made to have sex with "at least 100 Asian men" by the time she was 16.

Good heavens Taf, when & where will it all end?

Inaction from law enforcement agencies, afraid of being labelled racist, has led to these Asians behaving like pack animals. It really has to stop.

It really does appear to be the case that the drive for racial equality has led to the pendulum swinging too far the other way when they believe that they can rape underage girls without impunity.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

The issue was recognised a number of years ago, and the investigations that started in 2014 are bearing fruit, and will continue to do do, hopefully.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

If the police, social services and others were afraid of being prosecuted for being racist when all they are doing is responding to complaints and protecting vulnerable people, they need to attend some training courses on what racial discrimination legislation is all about.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

Inaction? Really? Did you realise the post before yours is one featuring a court case where they were found guilty?

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

I meant in the past, thankfully they now seem to be taking a more common sense approach and these historical crimes are now being dealt with after many years.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

My apologies. It's just that this:

..contains the word 'has' which appears to indicate the present, as opposed to 'had'.

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

Is anyone going to open a thread about the abuse of children by the Catholic church? This seems an equally disturbing problem, maybe more so ..

One in 50 priests is a paedophile: Pope Francis says child abuse is 'leprosy' infecting the Catholic Church

Re: Child grooming gang found guilty
 

Nothing to stop you opening one if you feel strongly enough about it, that would be a much better option than trying to deflect attention away from a discussion regarding the prevelance of child sex abuse cases by Asian gangs at the moment.

Any group of communities who are indulging in paedophilic activities is worthy of attention and discussion, be it based on ethnicity, religion, sport etc.
