In Plain Sight

Marlon West, a mental health practitioner and father, recounts his heartbreaking experience of his 13-year-old daughter, Scarlett, falling victim to grooming by an older woman. Despite his efforts to protect her, including multiple reports to authorities and attempts to seek safety through care, he describes feeling powerless as the grooming continued over two years. Now an advocate, Marlon calls for a government-led inquiry into the ongoing issue of grooming gangs in the UK, asserting that the problem remains urgent and widespread.
