This is on all news now

Evil Travellers collecting slaves

[Dilligaf]

I read 'Gypsy Boy' not long ago and it goes into quite a bit of detail about their own 'slave'. It has been going on for ages by the sounds of it. The treatment of these 'slaves' is terrible. It wouldn't surprise me if some of them have been killed over the years.

I read about 28 had escaped over the years but still nothing was done.

If thats true then its absolutely shocking.

I understand the police have known about this since 2008. It's really shameful, especially as it's been perpetrated by a community that uses the Human Rights Act for their own ends.

This really is a horrific series of events as to what has been happening to those people.

I Really hope more is done to ensure the Police deal with these situations and also that this is dealt with very severely too. An absolute disgrace.
