Scotland has now bowed to public pressure and announced a national review into grooming gangs. This follows a decision that did not arise from moral clarity, but from years of evasion.
After decades of reports from Rotherham, Telford, Oldham, Newcastle and Rochdale, many of which Christian Voice highlighted repeatedly, Holyrood has finally admitted that Scotland is not exempt from the same group-based child exploitation that scarred England.
Professor Alexis Jay, who once exposed the industrial-scale abuse in Rotherham, has been called in again. It is a tragic indictment that the same nation that ignored warnings then is now chasing the problem only after survivors forced their hand.
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

The SNP’s reluctance exposed
Statements from Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth are steeped in cautious language, “sensitive,” “complex,” “careful consideration.” But those are the same soft tones local authorities in England used for years as girls were trafficked and terrorised.
Christian Voice warned repeatedly that political fear, the fear of upsetting certain “community relations” was the very climate that allowed grooming networks to flourish.
John Swinney now claims he is “open” to an inquiry. Open? After an alleged survivor wrote to him directly?
After Police Scotland quietly reviewed cases for years? The SNP did not act out of conviction. They acted because silence became impossible.
Proverbs 16:11 A just weight and balance are the LORD’s.
Yet justice delayed is justice denied.

survivors betrayed
In England, survivors of grooming gang abuse resigned from the government’s national inquiry panel, accusing officials of betrayal and manipulation.
The survivors said the inquiry has become “less about the truth and more about a cover-up.”
More than five women were appointed earlier this year to help oversee the process but claim the government silenced survivor voices and allowed political convenience to replace transparency.
Meanwhile, we have long documented the clear, repeated pattern across the UK in our previous articles about police officers being too frightened to speak openly, social workers advised to avoid “cultural tensions,” and girls criminalised while their abusers walked free. Councils have allegedly concealed reports to protect reputations.
Isaiah 59:14 Judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off.
The dangerous comfort of process
The Scottish Government has assembled leaders, inspectors, and academics, but Scotland should beware.
England had endless “reviews,” “inspections,” and “multi-agency panels,” yet grooming gangs continued for years because bureaucrats replaced repentance with paperwork.
Professor Jay herself knows better than anyone: the issue is not expertise, but willpower. It is not lack of evidence, but lack of courage. Scotland risks following the exact same path, endless consultations while girls continue to suffer.
When leaders fear offending men more than protecting children, wickedness prevails.
Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare.
A call to national repentance
Christian Voice calls Scotland and the whole United Kingdom, to recognise that grooming gangs flourish in a moral vacuum. The absence of Christian sexual ethics, the collapse of family values, and a political class more concerned with image than innocence have all played their part.
A national review may reveal facts. But only national repentance will restore righteousness.
Scotland must not repeat England’s errors of political cowardice and moral confusion. Survivors deserve truth, justice, and a nation that finally stands on the side of the vulnerable.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.
