This woman is guilty of making stupid and unhelpful remarks but of course, in a country like Britain, she is free to be stupid she likes. Its not easy to think that if she lived in a place, like Saudi Arabia. or another backward, repressed society, she would have been able to express her views as freely.
However, the parents and guardians of these poor young girls must take some blame in this affair. Why were 12 year old girls allowed out late at night, so that they got into trouble ? A lot of these children were taken into care because of their parents apparent inability to bring them up properly.
But what does "care" mean, if the Local Authority had so little concern and control over them that they were sucked into this life of complete degradation ? Lots of guilty people here, not just the low-lifes in the Dock.
The Police and Local Authority seem to have got off scot-free yet again.
