This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

There is already an Independent Inquiry on Child Sexual Abuse, so we're not sure what else you'd like to happen.

The Inquiry has announced that it is considering information from Rotherham as part of its investigation.

You can find out more about the Inquiry here:
