We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Rejected petition Grooming gang failures and Dereliction of duty in Public Office charges required

We need independent hearing resulting in charges & sentencing towards Police, Social Services,Local Councils/councillors MPs (past and present) with regard to unlawfully ‘recognising’ & categorising ‘child prostitution’ to obfuscate/stifle/neglect further investigation. Failed to protect children

More details

Up until now mistakes are identified, individual accountability is absent. The councils who failed to act, vote on whether to have further investigations into their own inaction. We need to know where the idea/s around fear to further investigate these atrocities spawned from, resulting in delusional ill conceived perceptions of law by those required to uphold/interpret the law, & their actual inaction whilst in positions of public expectation & responsibility. Many still hold public positions

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about investigating and prosecuting alleged crimes are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to conduct a Public Inquiry into grooming gangs, but decisions about whether to bring any prosecutions would still be a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
