I don't think it matters if it was a punishment or cultural/religious. It needs to be stopped and prosecuted fiercely. Cutting a child's genitals is horrendous, no exception, no excuses. Adding this link too because it is a national scandal. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37364079

According to the NSPCC, they've had around 1,500 contacts about FGM since 2013. and over 500 have led to a referral to the police or to Children's Services and more than 70 protective orders issued. There are currently around 170,000 women in the UK who have suffered FGM or are at risk.
And they let this man walk. He had someone cut off his daughter's clitoris, on a mat on the floor, with no anaesthetic, using a razor blade. 2018 Great Britain. Last edited by Livia; 22-03-2018 at 01:29 PM. |

What is going on here?... I have been following the Poppy Worthington case and when you read the outcomes like that one, as well as this and the 'revelations' from certain boroughs you have to think where is the justice for children in this country?

And a few days ago, a couple of people from the Rotherham gangs were cleared.
I guess we can't blame people for following their cultural practices!!! |
