This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Nationwide public inquiry into child grooming and more powers for police.

Children are our top priority, more so than brexit or the NHS. Police in Rochdale didn't stop grooming out of fear of being labelled racist, social workers are ignoring signs of abuse or allowing it by sex gangs. There shouldn't be a 2nd chance for an offender when they took a child's first.

More details

This epidemic has been happening for years, now it's Telford but how many more will be discovered? Children are our most important and vulnerable members of society and this country has done nothing to protect them from the evils of adults.Tough laws are needed as offenders are not deterred by prison sentences. Castration and the death penalty are needed. Police need gov/public backing to do their job without fear of being labelled racist that prevents them like in the Rochdale case.
