The victims were mostly young white girls, who experienced unspeakable cruelty—including beatings, being drugged and many forms of sexual and physical abuse which, almost inconceivably, went on for some 16 years.

The group of men that carried out such horrors were all of Pakistani Muslim heritage.

It was for that reason that officials in the town were accused of "turning a blind eye" to the situation, as they were worried they would be labeled as "racist if they spoke out," said the report.

The Word of God says something different in regard to intervening on behalf of another…

"Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy." –Prov. 31:8-9

"Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so." –Prov. 3:27

Some of those 1,400 victims (that number is said to be "conservative") from Rotherham were as young as 11-years-old, and mostly from disadvantaged backgrounds; and yet this brutal abuse—sometimes brought to attention by social workers—was largely ignored by local authorities.

Writes Ellis: In more than one-third of the cases, the victims were known by child protection services, but the police and local government officials failed to act. The report heard of two cases where fathers tracked down their daughters and tried to remove them from houses where they were being abused only to be arrested themselves when police were called.

"The problem began at the top with the same culture of Muslim abuse and Western denial as we see with terrorism," according to Daniel Greenfield with Frontpage.

It was not until 2010 that the first case of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham made it to court. Five men received sentences of four to 11 years for grooming three teenage girls for sex. The men convicted include Zafran Ramzan, Razwan Razaq, Umar Razaq, Adil Hussain, and Mohsin Khan. (Photo via God Reports)

Three earlier reports, published from 2002 to 2006, detailed the abuse, and according to Ms. Jay, "could not have been clearer in the description of the situation in Rotherham." But the first one was "effectively suppressed" and the other two "ignored," she said.

Some officials were apparently ordered by their managers to withhold information on the ethnic origin of the abusers, the report said. As a result, no contact was made with local Pakistani leaders for help in identifying gangs that continued to assault and abduct teenagers.

Racism is an ugly thing. But when fear of a label stands in the way of justice and rescue—especially for those who cannot help themselves—that is inexcusable!
