"If anybody in any of the agencies that are supposed to be caring for these children - schools, social services and so on - took the view that being aggressively interventionalist to save these children would lead to the demonisation of some group because of the ethnicity ... then it is a national scandal and something that would need to be dealt with urgently," he said.

And where did the authorities get this idea from.Possibly from past experiences in dealing with the Commission for Equality and Human Rights?From those who are quick to shout the racist issue at the drop of a hat?
Perhaps more clarity is needed and better direction from the Commission might be more helpful.
Maybe less concentration on race might be the answer so we arrive at a situation where the crime and the victims are seen not the colour of their skin and their ethnic grouping/religion.
These girls were picked on because they were available and vulnerable.Focusing on the colour of their skin makes the crime no more and no less heinous.
