Closed petition PE2190: Hold an inquiry into grooming gangs in Scotland

Background information

An inquiry is needed to make clear there are organised gangs of people in this country targeting children and young vulnerable adults for the purpose of criminal and sexual exploitation. This is leading children into lives of prostitution, drugs and crime, who would otherwise not choose that path in life.

These gangs are organised and exist for this sole purpose.

The longer it’s put off, the more children across our country are falling victims to these gangs. Everyday there are young people in this country having their childhoods destroyed as well as their entire lives at the hands of these organised gangs of groomers and traffickers. 

This problem needs to be acknowledged and addressed in order for our drugs problem to be tackled with sincerity!
