Sexual exploitation of Roma children in Glasgow.
Discussion
Boys and Girls as young as 11 sold for sex by their parents and other family members in Govanhill, Glasgow. 
Children are being forced into prostitution in one of Scotland’s most deprived communities, a Times investigation has revealed.Specialist agencies, social workers, community representatives and residents say that Roma children are being sold for sex by parents and relatives in Govanhill, in the south of Glasgow. They say that the practice has been going on for more than a decade but, as was the case in Rotherham and Rochdale, they believe that a blind eye has been turned by the authorities because of “cultural sensitivities” and fears of being branded racist.

Now Miss Sturgeon what are you going to do about this going on in your constituency?.
I cant think of a much more abhorrent crime than someone passing over their child to be sexually plundered for cash, they must come down on this with the utmost severity, forget racism and all the other human rights crap, what about the rights of the children being raped senseless by disgusting vermin?.
This needs dealt with NOW, with a huge profile in the media about it, otherwise it gives the signal that its all good in Glasgow for rampant sexual abuse of kids.
Anything less by the Scottish Government and its agencies should then make the lot of them guilty of mass crimes against protecting children.
These reports absolutely sicken me to pit of my stomach, how the f
k can we let this keep happening?.

So there is no evidence, just lots of rumour, innuendo and stereotyping, so something must be done.
Read the article. There is witness evidence from social workers and other government agents. These witnesses are not colluding yet presenting the same story. The problem is that despite this warranting further investigation there isn't the will nor the resources to do so.ScotGov will of course say that this sort of thing could be avoided if their 'Named Person' scheme had gone ahead.

Either that or lefties are in full denial 
Utterly sickening story, it's hard to think of a worse thing to do to your own offspring.
Anyone turning a "blind eye" to such things on the grounds of "cultural sensitivity" deserve jail at the very minimum. The offenders should have their oxygen habit cured, cold turkey.

If the witness has seen sexual acts taking place then I would be astonished if nothing was done about it.

sorry, I've read the article. I can't see any evidence presented in it. The closest would be the witness saying the saw kids and adults huddled together in the street doing deals.

elderly Scottish gentleman says he was offered a 'baby' by a supposed roma woman to do what ever he wanted on lbc news at 1.If the witness has seen sexual acts taking place then I would be astonished if nothing was done about it.

Oh, that kind of Roma, not the Irish accented kind. Hard to know what's going on without being able to use the correct terminology isn't it. My eastern European friends certainly have some horror stories about their local Roma. Similar child selling stories from the streets of Sofia have been told.

"Roma" has always been distinct from "Irish traveler". I note the above community grew massively in the local area in 2004, following EU expansion.If you have no controls then you are going to have people such as this, along with the eager Stakhanovites.

So you won't accept anything less than actually witnessing the sexual acts themselves, as evidence?If the witness has seen sexual acts taking place then I would be astonished if nothing was done about it.
If were to see a guy picking up a girl off a street corner in a car, and taking her to a cheap hotel, would you assume they were in there playing dominos?
I posted on here about this years ago (it's nothing new).

Nothing was done about it back then and nothing will be done now.

The only thing close to a solid fact in the entire story is that six cases were investigated a decade ago.
The whole thing is fear mongering of the most base kind.
