Grooming gangs report author 'blisteringly angry' at findings

The author of a report into sexual abuse carried about by grooming gangs in England and Wales has said she is "blisteringly angry" over failures to protect children.

Baroness Casey told the BBC that today "we need to reset" the commitment to looking after children.

The report found that "far too many" perpetrators had evaded prosecution, and recommended a national police operation and national inquiry to hold perpetrators and agencies to account.

The prime minister announced on Saturday a full national statutory inquiry into grooming gangs.
