Muslim Rape Gang Victim Says “I was Made to Feel as Though I was Racist”

The insanity here is that the Pakistani perpetrators were the racists and the police and social workers were helping them in their racism. But Emma could not move forward with the truth because of fear it would seem racist.

How stupid is that?

She was also told not to mention the ethnicity of her attackers. British authorities were (and are) more concerned about protecting the Muslim community than about protecting their own children. They are condemning the British people to a future of civil strife, violence, and subjugation — all to avoid accusations of racism and “Islamophobia.”

“Rotherham Child Rape Victim: ‘Authorities Did Nothing’, Was Told Not to Mention Ethnicity of Attackers,” 

by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, 

A survivor of a Muslim grooming gang in Rotherham said she reported being raped when she was 13 years old, but authorities did nothing and told her not to mention the ethnicity of the attackers.

The rape survivor, Emma, told Katie Hopkins on LBC radio on Sunday: “I actually reported my abuse 14 years ago. I went to the authorities, my parents did. I sat and gave video interviews with the police, I was willing to work with them."

“But as soon as I said the names, I was made to feel as though I was racist and I was the one who had the problem.”

“I was specifically told not to comment on the ethnicity of the perpetrators,” Emma said, adding she was told “numerous times” by police and social workers not to mention race.

“I knew I wasn’t racist, but I felt like that was used as a way to silence me.”

Asked by Ms. Hopkins how that made her feel at the time, Emma said: “My perpetrators made me feel like I was in the wrong and they [police and social workers] fed into that. And I felt like: ‘Maybe my perpetrators are right. Maybe it’s not them that’s got the problem, maybe it’s me’.”

Groomed from 12, Emma told LBC listeners she was a virgin when she was raped at age 13. Detailing that the rapes happened regularly, she described one occasion where she was locked in a property and sexually assaulted by multiple men.

The Muslim grooming gang then began blackmailing the young teen, and threatened to gang rape her mother if she told her parents.

“That was my life,” she said.

The rapes continued after she reported it to police, as authorities told her it was “[her] word against his”. The police had also lost the clothes she had been raped in, leaving her with no evidence for a prosecution.

Let down by authorities, she found herself being further abused by other rape gangs. She reported rape again at the age of 14, but police said there was not enough evidence.

Eventually, her parents moved her out of the country.

“Nobody wanted to stop it, and that was the only way they could stop it,” Emma said.

Ms. Hopkins told Emma that other parents of victims of Muslim grooming gangs had moved their daughters abroad, saying moving girls to different parts of the country was ineffective as the rape gangs are “networked between cities”.

The Rotherham child sex abuse scandal is the biggest child protection scandal in Britain’s history, where, since the late 1980s, police and social services failed to protect girls from predatory grooming gangs made up of Muslim men for fear of being labelled racist, leading to institutional cover-ups….

Rochdale's Pakistani Child Rape and Trafficking Ring

I've done lots of stories on the unbelievable child sex abuse in Rotherham, but this is the first comprehensive report on Rochdale

SICK GROOMING GANG 

What was the Rochdale child sex abuse ring, who were the grooming gang and how many victims were there?

By Lauren Fruen

THE widespread grooming and sexual assault of girls in Rochdale was a case that shocked the nation.

Here Sun Online looks at how it was ignored by authorities for years until 2012 when a number of men were caged for a string of offences.

What was the Rochdale child sex abuse ring?

The exposure of the grooming, sexual assault and trafficking of young girls in Rochdale was made public in 2012.

The Guardian reports how it resulted in the conviction of nine men for offences including rape on girls as young as 13 between 2005 and 2008.

Sexual health worker Sara Rowbotham spent years trying to get police, the council and social workers to take the grooming seriously.

When the probe was eventually resumed and the gang was jailed police, Crown prosecutors and Rochdale Council were forced to apologise for their failings.

Apoligise, they should have been flogged!

The men – aged between 24 and 59- preyed on teen girls plying with them booze and drugs in the Heywood area of Rochdale.

It eventually resulted in the conviction of nine men for serious sexual offences, including rape and human trafficking, inflicted on girls as young as 13 between 2005 and 2008.

The Rochdale Safeguarding Children Board highlighted failures by 17 agencies who were meant to protect the children.

Who were the grooming gang?

Nine men were jailed for their part in the child sexual exploitation ring, the BBC reported in 2012.

Judge Gerald Clifton said at the time that the men – eight of Pakistani origin and one from Afghanistan – treated the girls “as though they were worthless and beyond respect”.

Hello! Have you heard of Islam?

Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of a group of men who preyed on girls, was jailed for 22 years after being convicted of a string of offences including rape in 2012.

Four members of the grooming gang – including ringleader Ahmed – now face deportation to Pakistan.

The other three are Adil Khan, Qari Abdul Rauf and Abdul Aziz.

Khan, Rauf and Aziz were convicted of conspiracy and trafficking for sexual exploitation charges.

In December 2013 a further five men were jailed after an investigation into the sexual abuse of a girl was reopened following the exposure of police failings.

The victim told police in 2008 Freddie Kendakumana raped her but he was not charged until October 2012.

In 2015 three men were sentenced for a string of child sexual offences that took place in Rochdale.

Two girls aged 13 and 15 and a 13-year-old boy were groomed by the three men between September and October 2014 after repeatedly going missing from care.

How many victims were there?

Police identified and interviewed 47 young girls who were potential victims of the gang in 2012.

It led to police forces across the country changing the way that they deal with missing people.

The Times first revealed the issue of Asian sex gangs targeting  girls after an investigation in Rotherham.

It led to an inquiry which found that at least 1,400 children had been exploited in that town.

A report by the Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Children Board painted a picture of girls as young as 10 being targeted for sexual abuse.

Twelve council workers came under investigation for failures in relation to the case, and both the police and Crown Prosecution Service were forced to apologise for missing a chance to stop the gang in 2008.

What is Three Girls?

A BBC drama called Three Girls will focus on the grooming of young women in the area.

Three hour long episodes will follow the stories of three of the victims.

B.C. Report Finds Indigenous Girls in Care Far More Likely to Face Sex Abuse

TORONTO and VANCOUVER and OTTAWA — The Globe and Mail

Indigenous girls in the B.C. child-welfare system are as much as four times more likely to be victims of sexual violence than non-indigenous girls, according to a watchdog report that describes a failing, ad hoc approach to preventing and responding to the sexual victimization of children in care.

B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth said in the review there were 145 incidents of sexual violence against 121 children and youth in care disclosed between 2011 and 2014. Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett said she was sickened by the report, telling The Globe and Mail on Tuesday that she is committed to exploring the need for national standards regarding the treatment of children in care.

The report’s findings are damning: children who were apprehended amid sexual abuse at home, only to be sexually abused in care; social workers who did not report abuse to police; provincial guidelines that are not audited for compliance; foster children abusing foster children, including a case in which the teenaged perpetrator was simply shuffled to another placement; instances in which there was no evidence that social workers or health-care staff offered supports of any kind to children who had just disclosed sexual abuse; and foster fathers being the perpetrators in one-quarter of the 28 incidents that occurred in the home.

“We can’t just keep removing all these children [from their homes] and then placing them in an environment where, because they don’t have any other natural support, they might be revictimized,” Representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond said in an interview. “In essence, by being involved in the system, they may, in fact, be groomed for a lifetime of victimization.”

Dr. Bennett said federal, provincial and territorial social-services ministers, as well as those responsible for children and youth, have chosen indigenous child welfare as the focus of their next meeting, slated for January. “We are committed,” she said, “to overhauling the system.”

Indigenous leaders and child-welfare advocates reacted with dismay to the report – the first in Canada to delve into advocacy cases and illuminate the prevalence and nature of sexual violence against children in government care.

B.C. Grand Chief Stewart Phillip deemed the revelations “beyond frustrating” and said the child-welfare system is so broken that it is time for the Liberal provincial minister responsible for the file to resign.

Cindy Blackstock, the advocate at the centre of a landmark ruling that found Ottawa failed to provide equitable funding for child-welfare services on reserves, said the report is further proof that the “state makes for a terrible parent.”

Indigenous NDP MLA Melanie Mark, the opposition spokeswoman on the issue, said the government must act quickly to address the violence if it is serious about seeking reconciliation with indigenous peoples.

And Wally Oppal, who led a provincial inquiry into police failures in investigating the disappearances of women slain by B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton, said there is a “strong correlation” between childhood sexual abuse and the wider tragedy of Canada’s missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.

Nearly two-thirds of the 121 victims included in the report were indigenous girls, even though they only make up, on average, a quarter of all children in care in British Columbia. Indigenous girls under 12 were four times more likely to be victimized than non-indigenous girls, while teenaged indigenous girls were twice as likely. The report, which is based on incidents that took place between 2004 and 2014, notes that children who experience sexual abuse are at an increased risk of victimization later in life.

Violence against indigenous women and girls is the subject of a recently launched national inquiry, which is expected to examine myriad factors, including child welfare, sex trafficking, systemic racism and the legacy of the Indian Residential School system, where abuse of all kinds was rampant. On Tuesday, an annual day of vigil was held across the country to honour missing and murdered indigenous women.

Gladys Radek, a prominent advocate, said she could have been one of them. Ms. Radek, 61, was sexually abused by several members of her indigenous foster family while in care in Terrace, B.C. She was just 11 years old when she first thought about hitchhiking to Vancouver along what is today known as the Highway of Tears – a stretch of road notorious for the alarming number of indigenous women who have disappeared or died violently along it in recent decades.

“What was more dangerous for me: staying at home and being raped, or hitchhiking?” Ms. Radek said. “Enough talking about it, let’s do something about it.”

Ms. Turpel-Lafond is recommending that the B.C. government roll out a broad strategy to tackle sexual violence against children and youth in care, including improved standards, resources and training. She is suggesting that Premier Christy Clark identify a lead minister responsible for implementing a five-year plan, and is urging the province to create a network of child and youth advocacy centres that have stable funding and bring together police, social workers and cultural supports.

Advocacy centres with police, social workers and prosecution services are needed for all sexually abused children with the added cultural support for indigenous children as well as children from other strong ethnic communities.

B.C. Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux said it was “too early to say” whether the government would act on any of the recommendations. “The work in the report is important,” she told reporters. “We’ll review it and we’ll consider it very critically to see what we could do to strengthen the system as it is.”

Rival Pediatric Hospitals Unite to Aid Sexual Abuse Victims

Philadelphia Business Journal

An unprecedented partnership between Philadelphia's two pediatric hospitals aims to ease the painful process sexually-abused children go through as investigators work to gather information about the crime.

In conjunction with the Philadelphia Department of Human Services and Philadelphia Children’s Alliance [PCA], the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children will staff a state-of-the-art medical suite for victims of sexual abuse at PCA's Juniata Park offices.

The suite was created to help PCA expand its continuum of services to victims of child sexual abuse in the city, and save families an extra trip to the hospital for an examination.

PCA is a nonprofit organization that helps child abuse victims and brings abusers to justice by bringing together police, social workers, prosecutors, medical professionals and victim advocates.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new medical facility, located at 300 East Hunting Park Avenue, will be held Dec. 4.

Officials from all four organizations, along with representatives from the Philadelphia Police Department and the city’s District Attorney’s office, will be in attendance.

The nonprofit Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was founded in 1885 as the country's first hospital dedicated to the health care of children. St. Christopher's Hospital is owned at operated by Tenet Healthcare Corp. (NYSE: THC) of Dallas, Texas.

This is great - putting the patient first is the way it should be but all too often isn't. Proud of you guys. This should make life easier for a lot of victims.
