Strip Search
Notifications OFF
The headlines today talking of a report that the police are strip searching children as young as 8, often without informing parents or having an appropriate adult present. Black children 11 time more likely to experience this.
The people "policing" us really are losing trust.
Why does a uniform give them the right to do as they please.

Exactly the same thing crossed my mind when I saw that story in the news. Such dedication to child protection!

Yep. Maybe the authorities should be looking a little closer to home rather than dragging us mums through the wringer.
It's absolutely disgusting, every officer who has done that should be dismissed with immediate effect. I was completely heartbroken when I first heard about Child Q last hear who was strip searched whilst on her period, I can't imagine how children deal with such violations by these bullies. Many of us have been on the unfortunate end of nasty police officers throwing their weight around and many of us were too taken aback and didn't know how to handle it so to imagine how children must feel with that added violation makes my blood boil.
The police often violate areas of PACE and it's just brushed under the carpet, if I or many of us on here made such serious errors at work we wouldn't have a job!

This is heartbreaking and absolutely unacceptable.
Any police officer who has done this should be immediately dismissed and held accountable but I have no doubt that they will be allowed to continue because they really do protect their own whilst punishing everyone else.
I have no words to express how disgusted I feel about this.
