Read about this earlier in the week, disgusting behaviour from both the police and the school.
Are you a racist potential murderer with pedophilic tendencies? COME ON INTO THE MET!
I was so confused by that headline. Thought it was about a junior version of the insane Trump conspiracies…
For a bit of weed FFS!
It’s almost as if the officers were taking it as a personal affront that she might get away with getting one over one them and were going to any length to assert dominance
Petty minded little bastards
The Met: we recognise we need to change. Also The Met: let’s strip search a child with no other adult present.
Every time I see ‘child Q’ I think I’m on a star trek sub
That aside, yeah, good, the event was indefensible all around
Whatever happened to MET wanting to rebuild trust after party gate lmao. People at the top simply can’t control the behaviour of the entire MET.
I sometimes wonder whether the Met police have secretly adopted racism as a strategy to keep themselves in work.
Ed: Presumably all these anti-racism rallies need policing, which, you know, requires funding … ?
seriously need to legalise cannabis in this country, it’s medicinally a wonder drug and also the added benefit is that racist coppers would have to stop using weed as an excuse to be a stip-searching nonce.
anyone against cannabis at this point is clearly a fascist misinformed cunt.
For smelling like cannabis… Outdated, racist, backwards law that needs changing ASAP.
I think they’re protesting sexual assault of a minor by the police aren’t they?
Remember by law the police have no duty of care for you as an individual citizen, they are there to protect the Crown
After 50 years of thewar on drugs – we still cannot keep drugs out of maximum security prisons.
So why are we strip searching kids at school?
Michael Gove admitted doing ounces of cocaine WHILE running for PM…
I’m not proud of my brain for thinking this but I couldn’t help wondering the sexual orientation of the coppers who performed the strip search… we had a female gym teacher at school who stopped us from wearing a towel into the shower and made us walk starkers the 12 feet into the cubicle, always positioned where she could get the optimum view, I explained to her it made us uncomfortable, it was wholly unnecessary. She didn’t stop until I went to the Headmaster about it, I found out a couple of weeks later she really was a lesbian which made sense but whatever her motives were, young girls are self conscious enough without someone taking their dignity away and using them for voyeuristic jollies, what those met officers did had the same effect on child q as a rape would have, I’m just suspicious about the motives behind the degradation, racist af but sounds predatory and opportunistic too
Having been strip searched too I can definitely say it’s not fun. Especially when there’s no reason. Typical police
We are becoming like America more and more everyday. Strip searching kids for smelling like weed. Racist bastards.
In NSW, Australia, this is a normal activity for police. The kids don’t even need to be arrested, they can be strip searched on suspicion. Some are strip searched in public. It’s crazy how far Australia has gone down the police state rabbit hole without anyone caring.
The real issue is that police are wasting their time with BS like weed possession.
Great. This was a horrifying story. It’s good to see people being revolted and supporting Child Q. I hope there’ll be some consequences for the police officers and teachers involved.
Hope every officer involved in the search is charged and convicted with sexual assault of a minor.
The strip search of a school pupil over smelling of weed is in general utterly ridiculous, shameful and unnecessary. But what is the evidence that it was racism? I’m seeing the claim a lot but haven’t seen it be backed up by anything.
Even if she had weed, even if they didn’t find it after searching her bag/locker/pockets, even after a pat down by a female officer if that’s legal ffs, any sane person would then have her, a child, talk to a counsellor if it needed to go any further.
This is some weird racist paedo fetish thing, and I hope it doesn’t get treat as any less and they have the book (and maybe some more lethal things) thrown at them.
Officers like them are also rapidly ruining the police’s reputation in this country, after this and other recent events I doubt I’d cooperate with them any more and I certainly don’t think women should at all without a legal expert present.
I’ve been riled up about this all week since the news came out. Not only was the action completely disproportionate.. I absolutely cannot fathom how those teachers called the police, approved the search and stood ‘guarding’ the door whilst the police officers did what they did. Both the teachers and officers have safeguarding duties as part of their core role, so all of them in my view are complicit of gross negligence of their responsibilities. It absolutely breaks my heart that this child experienced sexual assault literally by the people who were employed and expected to protect her and keep her safe. The trauma that she must’ve and still be experiencing is painful to think about.. and all that she got was a ‘sorry’.
Sure are a lot of cop and nonce apologists in this thread. No wonder they get away with this stuff so often.
The two WPC’s who carried out the search should be charged with (sexual) assault.
If I had a daughter, I’d rather know she smokes weed occasionally than have her go through this shit.
The four police officers who were involved should be sacked ASAP. What the fuck can anybody do with a fake PR apology??
Ah. Stokie Police Station, enough said;
Colin Roach was a 21-year-old black British man who died from a gunshot wound inside the entrance of Stoke Newington police station, in the London Borough of Hackney, on 12 January 1983.[1][2] Amid allegations of a police cover-up, the case became a cause célèbre for civil rights campaigners and black community groups in the United Kingdom.[3] Prior to Roach’s death, Hackney Black People’s Association had been calling for a public inquiry into policing in the area, alleging that there existed a culture of police brutality, wrongful detention of black people, racial harassment, and racially motivated “stopping and searching.”[4] Ernie Roberts, the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, said that there had been “a complete breakdown of faith and credibility in the police” in the area and the Commission for Racial Equality called for a full inquiry into both the death of Roach and the policing in Hackney generally.[4] In June 1983 a coroner’s jury returned a majority verdict of suicide.[5] INQUEST, the United Kingdom pressure group founded following the death of Blair Peach at the hands of a police officer in April 1979, was highly critical of the coroner’s directions to the jury, and said that he had wrongly pointed them towards a verdict of suicide.[6]

Am I the only one confused by there being lots of SWP placards at the protest?
Given the “Comrade Delta” farce, I was of the understanding that they are pro sexual assault. Although their not wanting police involvement is pretty consistent I suppose…
They really are a shameless bunch.
*I’m a teacher, and I’m going to keep repeating this until I’m blue in the face.*
I used to work in secondary schools pastoral care until I trained to be a primary school teacher.
There are SO MANY other avenues in place for if you suspect a child is in any way involved in the movement or taking of drugs before you should even consider calling the police.
While schools don’t have a lot of resources at their disposal we do have pretty good safeguarding routines in place (for schools who choose to use them correctly). In NONE of these does it say that it is appropriate for a child to be strip searched by the police. This should NEVER have been allowed to happen.
We are blaming the MET here, and rightly so, for what they did was disgusting, but the teachers who called the police, removed her from an exam and allowed her to be assulted are as much to blame.
When your children are left with us, they are supposed to be safe, they are supposed to be loved and respected and those teachers threw her to the dogs knowing full well that wasn’t the appropriate procedure.
I am ashamed that those teachers are part of my profession. They have let that poor child down and I hope they are ashamed of themselves.
It’s really fucked up that this happened. I just feel so bad for the child involved.
It is disgusting how the Met have basically just become a woman beating, child diddling group of abusers, it needs to be dissolved, and a new force must be made with a total staff replacement
Child Q is someone’s little girl and loved one. I have a little sister who will be 15 years old soon. Child Q was a little girl when this happened in 2020. 2 years later she is now a traumatised 17 year old girl because the adults failed to protect her.
The police and school are 100% in the wrong and there was NO justification for the actions carried out by thr school and the police.
Her teachers are total pieces of sh*t phoning the police in the first place. Most reasonable teachers would phone the child’s parents over concerns of weed smell NOT the police for f*cks sake. The teachers must never be allowed to teach again because they have demonstrated they are not suitable to be working with children.
The police officers are just vile and evil. They violated that poor girls dignity. This is a NOT want a strip search is meant to be used for and they know it. The officers need to be jailed and NEVER allowed to work with children and vulnerable people ever gain.
If this happened to my daughter all hell would have broken loose at that school. When I was the kid at school I used kick the boys in balls whenever they were bullying me and oh i got in to plenty of physical fighting with my classmates who were bullying me and i caused lots of havoc in school with the fighting. I am not scared to fight and stand up for myself and people I love.
I am still not scared to cause havoc even in adulthood. No one violates my children and gets away with it. I am not even a parent.
Properties have more protection than people’s bodies.
So not surprised this was Stoke Newington police station. That police station has been a centre of corruption and racism for over 40 years.
Remember those police officers who caught spying on political activists, even going to far as to have relationships with them? Well, what was meant by “political activism” was exposing police corruption and police collusion with drug gangs. Which was based out of Stoke Newington police station.
The activist group was named after a Colin Roach, a black 21-year-old. Colin Roach was shot in the entrance of Stoke Newington police station with a shotgun. The police insisted it was a suicide. But Colin was not wearing gloves, nor were his fingerprints on the gun. The gun was too big to have fit in the bag he brought into the police station. Colin suffered no injuries to his hand, despite the recoil of shotgun often being enough to break bones when used this way. The police also held Colin’s father for questioning for several hours before informing him of Colin’s death. This is consistent with the police trying to buy time to concoct a story.
If you think that’s all accent history, then look up Kashif Mahmood, and what can only be described as a plot fit for Line of Duty.
