BBC 2003 report on the girl who was murdered by heroin overdose. Note how the BBC describes these events.

Manchester Evening News Aug. 2007 same story:

[…]

Within days, Vicky’s sad life was over. Paramedics were called to a house in Sussex Street, Merefield, where she had overdosed on heroin.

 

She was taken to Rochdale Infirmary and later transferred to the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, where she died on 29 September after two days in a coma.

 

Later, Mohammed Yaquab, of Sussex Street, was charged with two offences of administering diamorphine and was sent to prison for three-and-a-half years.

Social worker Michael Godfrey described Vicky as ‘a small, fragile-looking thing’ who hoped to become a model or a hairdresser. 

A lot of subtle but unmistakable victim blaming in the BBC and Manchester articles. Hard to imagine articles like this about a 15 year old who had been pressed into sex slavery by a gang of much older men, foreign or otherwise, and then killed by heroin overdose being described in a way that is seemingly kind, but leaves the fault squarely with the victim.

At least in Today’s report at the top of this post, her story is revisited. At this point I wouldn’t expect justice til the British people wake up and decide they wish to survive as a people and a culture, and are prepared to do the things necessary for that outcome. But a prerequisite even to that, is honest information. Which is precisely why it is so amazingly difficult to come by.

Police failings allowed paedophiles to escape justice – damning report

PAEDOPHILES in Greater Manchester escaped justice after the appalling failings of police meant youngsters continued to suffer “profound abuse” at the hands of evil men, a damning report claimed today.

 

Greater Manchester’s mayor today said almost 100 persons of interest, predominately Asian men working in the restaurant industry, had been allowed to escape justice by police failings. Many went on to commit further sex crimes against children. Andy Burnham said: “Each and every one of those abusers should have been brought to justice but, appallingly, most escaped and some were left to reoffend.”

 

Mr Burnham’s comments come as a report criticised the “appalling failings” of Greater Manchester Police during a 2004 investigation into the sexual exploitation of children within the Manchester care system.
