‘Upskirting’ law blocked by Christopher Chope MP

[happyman]

be a fucking damn sight easier to combat by getting laws in place - something that Sir Christopher Chope thinks its his job to prevent.

There are laws in place and nothing has been done about it in decades, it's illegal already and they still manage to brush it under the carpet.

The offence of assisting a girl to carry out FGM on herself while also creating extra-territorial offences to deter people from taking girls abroad for mutilation. To reflect the serious harm caused, the 2003 Act increased the maximum penalty for any of the FGM offences from five to 14 years' imprisonment.

Do these woman/girls never have to go to the doctors for check-ups, surely they do like normal kids and it should be evident at a quick glance that a girl had been butchered and then questions can be asked.

But they might only be there for a sore throat!!!
The thing is, teachers, social workers and doctors might be reluctant to report suspicions because of the potential backlash if they're wrong.

Reluctance doesn’t come into it.
Teachers are contractually obliged to report suspicions of child abuse.

Well we all know what people SHOULD do, contractually obliged or not.
