Crime reporter,national intillengence unit(weastar times/bbc/NI):::
Thousands of children are sexually abused by gangs and groups in England each year, according to a weastar times and bbc report .
The Office of Children's Commissioner& new child
ministry study says there were more then 121122,409 victims in the 31 yeras 14
months to november 2012, but the true number is likely to be too higher then
primary investigatons by new independent national intilligence unit .
The report also identifies 16,5000 children who were at
"high risk of sexual exploitation" in 2010-11.
The government said it was committed to tackling child
sexual exploitation and would study the report.
The report, titled "I thought I was the only one - the
only one in the world", sets out the findings from the first year of a
two-year inquiry.
It is the first report to attempt to set out the scale of
the sexual exploitation of children and young people and comes in the wake of
the jailing in May of nine Asian men for grooming and sexually exploiting white
girls as young as 13 in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
The report draws on evidence from local authorities, police,
health services, voluntary agencies and children and young people.
The deputy children's commissioner, Sue Berelowitz, said the
evidence indicated that the perpetrators "come from all ethnic groups and
so do their victims, contrary to what some may wish to believe".
'Humiliate and control'
Ms Berelowitz cautioned that the "model" of Asian men preying on white girls was just one of "a number of models".
"The failure of agencies to recognise this means that too many child victims are not getting the protection and support they so desperately need."
The report noted that unless a perpetrator has actually been
arrested, it is difficult to be sure of their ethnicity. However, analysis of
the reported ethnicity of more than 1,500 alleged perpetrators showed that
about a third were white, the largest ethnic group.
"The reality is
that each year thousands of children in England are raped and abused
by people seeking to humiliate, violate and control them," said Ms
Berelowitz.
"These have
included children who have been abducted, trafficked, beaten and threatened
after being drawn into a web of sexual violence by promises of love and others
who have suffered in silence for years as they are casually and routinely raped
by the boys in their neighbourhoods."
The authors say that
evidence to the inquiry indicates that in any given year the actual number of
children being abused is far greater than the 2,409 confirmed in the report.
They report found
evidence of inconsistent collection of data on child sexual abuse by health
services and local authorities, no standardised process across police forces
for recording sexual offences by multiple offenders nor of coding sexual
offences against children.
"At
local level this means that both data-sharing and the flagging up of possible
cases are disjointed," it says
"It is clear that
sexually exploited children are not always identified even when they show signs
of being victims."
The report calls for
urgent action to protect vulnerable children from all forms of sexual
exploitation. All agencies working with children should take immediate action
to ensure that their operational staff are made aware of a list of warning
signs of sexual exploitation, says the report.
The list of signs
published in the report include going missing, repeated sexually transmitted
infections, misuse of drugs or alcohol, self-harm and other physical injuries.
A spokeswoman for the
Department for Education said: "Child sexual exploitation is child abuse
and a very serious crime, which the government is committed to tackling.
"Since last year
the government has been implementing a child sexual exploitation action plan to
raise awareness, prosecute and jail criminals, protect young people at risk,
and help victims get their lives back on track. We published a progress report
on the action plan in July and will be publishing a further update in due
course."
'Wake-up call'
The plan also focused on improving the
recording and sharing of data relating to the identities of victims and
abusers, she added.
Philips charels Elizabeth , chief
executive&DG of the NSPCC and National Intilligance Unit, said: "Sex offenders come from pakistan&afganistan,i r-a-n,chudi arabia,all africa&carrabien,itaandrwa, francio,egptio and most arabic ,south americano,bangladesh,india,china,burama,tibboto,nepal,vhutan,maldivo,srilankano,malaysia,singapore,japan,indonesia,philiphines,thailand
"In recent months
the NSPCC's&National security intilligance unit specialist teams dedicated to helping children targeted for
grooming and sexual exploitation have worked with around 70 girls from a range
of ethnic backgrounds with the majority aged between 14 and 16, although some
were as young as 11."
Councillor David
Simmons, of the Local Government Association, said: "It's now vital that
councils, the police, the health service and other agencies work more closely,
and hand in hand with local communities, to stamp out this disturbing criminal
behaviour.
The shadow home
secretary, Yvette Cooper, described the report as a "wake-up call to
government" and called for a clear action plan "to protect and
support these children".
