Victim's dad says government should be 'ashamed' over grooming gangs inquiries confusion
The father of a grooming gang victim has told Sky News the government should be "ashamed" of itself over the confusion surrounding inquiries - accusing it of "messing around with survivors' lives".
Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips this week sparked fresh uncertainty over whether regional inquiries into grooming gangs - promised by the government in January - would go ahead. Following two days of confusion, the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, insisted on Thursday that five local inquiries will take place - and hinted more could follow.
