i think it is factual. The crimes of the yorkshire ripper was probably the most high profile in the u.k.

I truly wish your first statement were factual, alas it is not. This behavior is as old as sin.
No child gang rapes are not acceptable.
If Muslim children were being raped, I think the same people here would be appalled. I think the same idiots on Rotherham council would have made the same disgusting decisions made before. They wanted to minimize "embarrassment."
Making this an issue of race solves nothing.
Making this an issue of religion solves nothing.
Realizing that this is an issue that faces all peoples, all countries, all religions, is the first step in making sure that this kind of garbage is never ignored again.

In the last century and a half, public and professional awareness of sexual abuse has emerged and been suppressed repeatedly. The 20th-century suppression of the problem has been linked to Freudianism, sexual modernism, and gender politics. Recent awareness of sexual abuse diners from awareness in the past because of the significant amount of current research attesting to the prevalence of sexual abuse and its injurious impact on human development. However, in the contemporary mental health professions, the courts, and the media, there has emerged an influential backlash against the latest discovery of child sexual victimization that utilizes arguments employed during earlier periods of suppression. Knowledge of the earlier cycles of discovery and suppression can assist professionals in understanding and countering present attempts to deny or minimize the problem of child sexual abuse.

Why would that be "interesting"? What a disgusting suggestion!
Child abuse and child slavery is an abominable crime whoever does it, whenever they do it.
Of course, you're not so subtly suggesting that I have more of a soft spot for Muslims than I do for Christians or for anyone else for that matter.
I'm on the record in many posts on this site on my negative stance on child abuse.
In a similar way, you are on record for your negative views of Muslims.
I'm sure though, that you are firmly against child abuse as well, even against Muslims, right?

Why would the religion or race of the victims of child abuse make any difference?

That's the point here. This travesty in Rotherham is not restricted to Pakistani or to Muslims!
Yes, let's get real. Folks who believe as you do want to make this another in a long line of crimes that you assign to Islam and ignore what goes on in Christianity and EVERY OTHER FREAKING RELIGION ON EARTH.
By far the majority of perpetrators were described as 'Asian' by victims, yet throughout the entire period, councillors did not engage directly with the Pakistani-heritage community to discuss how best they could jointly address the issue. Some councillors seemed to think it was a one-off problem, which they hoped would go away. Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.
In a large number of the historic cases in particular, most of the victims in the cases we sampled were white British children, and the majority of the perpetrators were from minority ethnic communities. They were described generically in the files as ‘Asian males’ without precise reference being made to their ethnicity.
you seem to be missing the point. You seem to think that those children would still have been gang raped even if there was no muslims in rotherham. I can assure you that those children would have been orders of magnitude safer if there was no muslims in rotherham. The people of the u.k are not accustomed to child gang rapes. I do not see why you can not see that if it was not for racism, muslims those little girls would be alive and un tortured.

Your comment that was in error was that child rape either singly or by gangs is a phenomenon of the last 20 years.
Sadly, you are wrong on that issue. "Modern History of Child Abuse - Cycles of discovery and suppression, Erna Olafson, David L. Corwin, Journal of Child Abuse & NeglectVolume 17, Issue 1, January–February 1993, Pages 7–24

There is sexual abuse committed against children by Muslim men, by Christian men, by Hindu men, Atheist men, Wiccan men, as well as women of all those religions.
That's the point here. This travesty in Rotherham is not restricted to Pakistani or to Muslims!
Yes, let's get real. Folks who believe as you do want to make this another in a long line of crimes that you assign to Islam and ignore what goes on in Christianity and EVERY OTHER FREAKING RELIGION ON EARTH.
Yes, I agree that the best thing that could to the human species is for us ALL to rid ourselves of ALL religions.
Until that time, lies are lies ... and it is a LIE that this crime is limited to being committed only by Muslims.
And it's almost as disgusting to see people using these heinous crime for petty agendas as is seen here in this discussion.

It is not racism, because it happens within families as well. That's the point you are either ignoring or not understanding.
Child abuse happens everywhere. It is one of the most prevalent and evil crimes that humanity still faces.
This paper draws on a wide range of research from different fields to document the epidemic proportions of physical violence and sexual abuse in North American families. It delineates the gender dimensions of this problem, with men being the predominant perpetrators of sexual abuse of both boys and girls, and the major physical abusers in couple relationships.
