Your claim that these men were not given the
licence to abuse does not hold up. They were
precisely given that licence by the failure of all those
who were charged with protecting these children
who did nothing despite all the reports, despite knowing
what was going on. Despite council, social workers,
doctors, psychiatrists, and police all knowing what was
going on.
The authorities involved have
a great deal to answer for - these were children and
they should have stepped in. The abuse should have
been stopped and prevented. It wasn't. It continued
because it was allowed to continue - and that
no matter how you may try to whitewash it, or whatever
litany of excuses you may come up with - the
facts remain that the tragic
victimisation and abuse of these girls happened on
such a scale and was allowed to continue for so
long - thanks to the failure of those in charge
to apply the laws and protect these children.
I am not making excuses for these Pakistani men -
on the contrary - but you stop making excuses
for the authorities involved, whose job it was
to protect these children and they failed miserably.
And damn straight - their inaction gave the perpetrators
the license to abuse.
