Establish an independent inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Telford
This petition was previously created in May 2017 but subsequently closed due to the general election.
An independent inquiry would establish (as it did in Rotherham) the facts behind this disturbing statistic.
Telford has been described as the "child sex capital of Britain". There could be as many as 2,300 victims in Telford & Wrekin - 40% more than Rotherham's 1,400 - based on being 2 and a half times more likely to be a victim in Telford & Wrekin which has 60% of the population of Rotherham.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There is already an Independent Inquiry on Child Sexual Abuse.
The Inquiry has announced that it is considering information from Telford and Wrekin Council as part of its investigation.
