A council-commissioned report told how social workers knew of the child sex crimes in the late 90s.

And in 2016, whislteblowing police chaplain Keith Osmund-Smith was suspended after passing papers to the Mirror.

So those trying to help are punished.

Those committing the crimes re protected. And people are okay with this?

People don't want to question the society they live in. Apparently.

Well, it is easier not to do anything and live in a dream state where you actually think elected officials are handling things. But let's see, you're letting the same officials who handled the initial scandal, handle the aftermath?

So which one of those police officers has been fired? Faced disciplinary action? What about whoever wrote that memo? Has he been canned? And what about the neighborhood? Can little girls walk home without being harassed?

Answers to your questions: none of them - none of them - wasn't fired - no - no.

Yeah, it's always the same story, but why do voters believe these vampires?

Because they want to believe they live in a society that is more or less ok, and problems will go away when they look away. (One possible answer.)

Another possible answer: Because they feel helpless when they realize that politicians (from the local levels upwards), social services, and police are all involved.

All possible.

It is overwhelming. But you've got to start somewhere.
