Scarlett war 14 Jahre alt – sie wurde in Manchester gepflegt und gehandelt, um von Dutzenden Männern vergewaltigt zu werden

Poor girls, justice needs to be done, not just to the abusers but to the systems in place and people in power who allowed it to continue for so long

I’ve been saying this for years, the reason so many girls were ignored is not because anyone wanted to be seen as racist, it’s because they didn’t see the girls as victims.

How many times in that story do these girls talk about how they would run away back to these men, how they would willingly go to random peoples houses, how they would take the offer of free gifts and drugs knowing what was expected in return, how they would keep putting *themselves* in these situations.

To the police and the people supposed to care, they were just unruly teenage girls who knew exactly what they were doing. The girls knew if they went to these parties there would be drugs, alcohol and sex taking place and yet they kept going and so nobody was interested in helping.

I remember the girls from school who were like this, they thought it was cool to have an older boyfriend, we thought they were just a bunch of slags.

I’m not blaming the girls here, we know they were groomed, we know many victims struggle to break free from the cycle of abuse, but nobody seems to talk about how we all saw these girls as nothing but unruly slags and that’s why we didn’t do more.
