In a desperate attempt to protect their adolescents from violent thugs running wild in lawless Britain, furious moms whose children have been assaulted by groups of feral youngsters claim they are being forced to turn to vigilantism.
Following a succession of vicious assaults on their children, outraged parents claim they are now being compelled to take things into their own hands and guard their neighbourhood park.
Unsettling footage captures the moment the juvenile thugs savagely attack the victims, some of whom are as young as 11.
In a cruel twist, the yobs are taping the encounters in order to broadcast them online as a terrifying ritual of humiliation, which is how the films came to be.
In the last year, the gangs have allegedly targeted the children of up to eight parents in the Lancashire town of Chorley.
One mother, whose daughter was abused, reported hearing that her adolescent daughter could have only needed one strike to lose her life in a particularly horrible episode.
However, angry parents are at their wits’ end with the police, whom they accuse of doing nothing.
And they claim that in order to keep their kids safe, they have now turned to monitoring parks.
Four months after the assault, a mom whose kid was seen being kicked repeatedly while lying on the ground claims her family is still waiting for anything from the police.
Another reports that despite the event being captured on film, it took police four days to record a statement.
One mom said police informed her that they would only detain the assailants if her daughter’s injuries were “more severe” in possibly the most alarming instance.
One father told the BBC: “I can’t believe it has come to this.” Given that our children are not being safeguarded, I can see why it has.
“If my daughter is down here, I have to perform the police’s job and make sure she’s alright,” the man said.
Another said, “Look at the desperate measures we are taking. We have faith that the cops will watch out for our kids.
We will have to do it because they won’t be able to. The parents must take action.
Another parent said: “There are lots of parents who want to take this into their own hands and obviously at this point they haven’t done, and I’m glad they haven’t done, but something’s got to give.” At some point, they haven’t, and I’m glad of that.
It follows interviews with parents in Chorley whose children had suffered violent attacks at the hands of gangs of stray youths by the BBC.
I think of her as a young child. Your infant is lying on the floor there. I’m just so enraged at them.
Indie, an 11-year-old girl, was attacked in the same park on the same day.
Leanna, her mother, claims that she immediately went to the Chorley Police Station to report what had occurred.
She asserts, however, that she was informed that no one was available to see her when she requested to speak with an officer. Officers allegedly took a statement for four days, according to her.
I was shocked, totally in amazement, she said.
Later on, two of the attackers were voluntarily cautioned.
Bethany, a 14-year-old girl, was assaulted in April of last year. During the incident, which was recorded and shared on social media, she was able to call her mother.
According to Lisa, they repeatedly struck her and stamped on her head. They alternated turns.
One more stomp to the skull, according to the doctor, would have probably ended her life.
According to Lisa, a 999 call was made while the attack was taking place to the police. She claims that no one arrived for 48 hours however.
She said that the capture of Bethany’s assailants took weeks. After receiving a conditional warning, two of the affected females have now submitted letters of remorse.
The cops seemed to think it was futile and that nothing would result from it, the woman said.
Lancashire Police was approached by MailOnline for a response, but they did not provide one in time for publication.
The police department’s representative told the BBC that they “often execute operations targeted at combating anti-social behaviour as part of our mission to give an exemplary service to the public and foster trust.”
It occurs in the midst of mounting pressure on police forces across to regain control over a lawless Britain.
A number of scary muggings in London in particular have been recorded on camera. One such video shows a guy and a woman being assaulted by criminals in upscale Chelsea.
Additionally, there have been other instances when criminals in uniforms for delivery drivers, such as burglars and drug traffickers, have committed crimes.
A grandpa who fearlessly confronted masked thugs outside his house was shown on tape last month being pummelling and struck with a metal chain.
As he attempts to force the rowdy kids out of his driveway in Great Barr, Birmingham, Roy Muller, 76, is shown on video being hit with a weapon, punched and kicked repeatedly.
After being targeted by gangs of anti-social yobs for months, the grandpa of nine claims he was obliged to protect his home from the violent adolescents.
Roy, a single man who had a heart attack last year, claims that ‘uninterested’ police have done nothing despite the fact that up to 14 teenagers harass him every day.
In a desperate attempt to get assistance, Mr. Muller claims he is now too afraid to leave his house and has written to Sir David Thompson, Chief Constable of the West Midlands Police.
Police claim to be looking into the attack and “informed” of complaints of persistent anti-social behaviour. ‘Extremely seriously,’ the police asserts, it treats harassment claims.
It follows the publication of a critical study that revealed how the police consistently fail to protect the great majority of burglary victims as well as those who are the targets of theft and robbery.
The investigation indicates that officers are “losing chances” to apprehend individuals as soon as crimes are reported.
According to the most recent Home Office statistics, just 3.7% of burglaries, 4.2% of thefts, and 6.6% of robberies result in charges.
These are “not trivial offences,” according to Chief Inspector of Constabulary Andy Cooke, who added that they “strike to the core of how secure people feel in their own homes and communities.”
In response to concerns that shoddy investigations mean victims “aren’t receiving the justice they deserve,” he said that the low charging rates were undermining public faith in the police. He thus ordered a “back-to-basics” approach.
The Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary conducted a damning assessment that concluded that the low billing rates are “unacceptable and unsustainable.”
Its shocking assessment coincides with growing worries that police are focusing too much on “woke” problems and insufficiently on crimes that destroy people’s lives.
The success rates for filing charges in connection with thefts, robberies, and break-ins varied significantly from force to force, according to the study, creating an undesirable “postcode lottery” for victims.
It cited a dearth of detectives at the federal level as well as a sizable number of untrained cops as contributing causes.
The study also mentioned pressure on 999 call takers, which indicates that some merely collected the barest amount of data from victims.
Inspectors discovered that call handlers failed to provide victims with any advice on crime scene preservation in 71% of burglary complaints, which might result in the loss of important forensic evidence.
“A shortage of experienced cops means that too often, these crimes are being badly investigated and are not appropriately overseen,” said Mr. Cooke.
“This is often because supervisors themselves are inexperienced and overworked.”
Nearly one-third of officers in England and Wales had less than five years of experience, yet the research claims that in one-third of those situations, there was inadequate supervision, which led to the loss of possibilities for collecting information and connecting cases.
Due to statutory time constraints, some forces may take up to six months to identify fingerprints, making it impossible to file charges in magistrates’ courts and thereby ending the investigation.
The audit discovered that roughly half of the investigations did not meet the basic level that victims should expect, which is compliance with the code of practice for victims.
The public’s trust in the police’s capacity to keep people safe, according to Mr. Cooke, is directly impacted by this problem, thus there has to be a concentrated effort to fix it.
Currently, certain victims are more likely than others to get a full inquiry by their police, depending on where in England and Wales they reside. There is no justification for this postcode lottery.
Visiting a burglary victim in person, for example, might go a long way in convincing the public that the police are acting, according to Mr. Cooke.
Forces should make sure crime-scene management procedures are brought up to the suggested level by next March, according to one of the report’s recommendations.
The military should make certain that supervisors are equipped with the necessary skills to conduct effective investigations.
