LAST WEEK, details of an abhorrent incident of misogynist and racist child abuse at the hands of the police was uncovered.
In 2020, the same year that the police murder of George Floyd sparked the inspiring, global Black Lives Matter movement, a black, female 15-year-old was invasively strip-searched by police officers from the Metropolitan Police Service at her Hackney school.
The official report into the incident, published by Jim Gamble QPM, independent child safeguarding commissioner, found that the search, which involved the exposure of Child Q’s intimate body parts, took place on school premises, without an appropriate adult present and with the knowledge that Child Q was menstruating.
