It’s hard enough trying to imagine the hell that these grooming gang victims, like Fiona Goddard, went through. The fact that, after speaking out, she’s still going through this, though….

I am not far right. Yet I got raped for over 5 years by the grooming gangs and there most definatly were racial elements and they hid behind islam to abuse children. They tried getting me to fast, convert and wear muslim clothes, aswell as using racial slurs to me. Yet everytime i speak about the abuse i recieved, and i only speak about it factually and in a way so we can identify the issues to make changes to better protect children going forward, i get dozens of messages from the pakistani or muslin communities threatening my life, telling me i loved being raped or shagging grandads when i was a kid, telling me im doing everything for money, telling me im a white piece of trash that was begging for it. Telling me they are going to do the same to my kids. Threats that my house is going to get set on fire with me and my kids in and an attempt to actually do that by putting my bins under my windows and setting them on fire and sooooo much more. Rather than calling people far right for speaking about it, why does the pakistani/muslim community not rise up and help tackle the problem? Ive tried to speak to imam’s about teaching them what happened and how they can help tackle the problem and theyve told me to go away said they dont want to know and that its all made up and doesnt exist. We all need to accept the issues that are going on talk openly and honestly about things and work together to tackle it for the sake of the future children. But that isnt happening. And its sad and frustrating. And it will just lead to more problems.
