1. Is it a different gang from the previous cases? Or an overlapping case?

2. It’s not always this place, but it is fairly frequently.

3. Can I just point out before this devolves into hundreds of comments about immigration – The Jay Report, so many years ago now, was very concerned that such “slips” in the child protective services seem almost endemic. We have these systems and institutions that are supposed to protect and care for these children the same as a parent. At best these services are abjectly failing in that task, in the worst instances members of the services were directly involved in pimping their wards out. For all the *years* we have spent talking about the ethnicity of the perpetrators, how much attention and effort has been focused on reforming the care, protective, and police services who very evidently did not give a singular fuck about the wellbeing or safety of any of these children?

4. I do very much wonder why no social workers or police officers, who actively colluded with these gangs, have been prosecuted, publicly named and shamed, and imprisoned
