Thanks to the Jay report, however, we can say that the Hodges rejoinder is not entirely true. The Rotherham problem\u201d\u2039\u201d\u201d\u201d\u2039which we\u2019ll call Childhood Sexual Exploitation, or CSE, because everyone uses that jargon\u201d\u2039\u201d\u201d\u201d\u2039was the subject of repeated scrutiny throughout the period when 1,400 girls fell victim to it, not only by the local government itself but also by social services, private charities and their consultants, the National Health Service (NHS), and the police. The girls were abandoned only partly because so many made a cowardly choice to let a crime go unreported when they could not think of a \u201cnon-racist\u201d\u009d way to describe it. They were also abandoned because of the way that these agencies tried to do good. The process of \u201ccaring for children\u201d\u009d was already bad; the distortions and systematic mendacity encouraged by the ideology of multiculturalism and racial and gender theorizing made it worse.<\/p>\n
