Rejected petition Run a national inquiry into UK grooming gangs

The petition's title is self-explanatory and is something receiving a lot of media attention.

More details

Over the past several decades, thousands of children across the nation have been subjected to exploitation and abuse by grooming and rape gangs. This tragic and systemic failure has been perpetuated by the inability of relevant authorities to effectively address and prevent these heinous crimes. The scale and severity of this issue demand a comprehensive and unified approach. We are calling for an in-depth and far-reaching national inquiry into this systemic failure.
