'Decent Asian families' are 'let down the most' by police failings in dealing with shocking child sexual exploitation in Telford, Nick Ferrari declares. NickFerrariLBC
Unnecessary suffering and even deaths of children might have been avoided had West Mercia Police "done its most basic job" in acting on reports of sexual exploitation, according to findings published on Tuesday.
For decades child sexual exploitation "thrived" in the Shropshire town and went "unchecked" because of failures to investigate offenders and protect children amid fears that probes into Asian men would "inflame racial tensions"."These girls were seen as easy prey for gangs of – and this has to be said – largely Asian men," Nick Ferrari stated, observing the findings of the report.
He believed that ordinary members of the Asian community in Telford will be disproportionately affected by the findings of the report. "The people who are let down the most are decent Asian families living in Telford. I cannot imagine who would want these men convicted more than these decent Asian families trying to live their lives as anyone else, putting their kids through school, keeping their heads down, going on holiday once a year or whatever else it might be.
