Lets hope that this child is taken away from the savages that she has as parents, and those who commissioned and carried out this mutilation end up doing some serious jail time and then be removed from our midst.
The Daily Mail said:
“Police officers in London have arrested two people over the genital mutilation of a baby girl, it has been reported.
The alleged criminals live in Britain and the baby is believed to have been mutilated at five to six weeks old – believed to be the youngest case reported.
Female genital mutilation involves the cutting or removal of female sexual tissue and has been illegal in the UK since 1985.
However, because a culture of secrecy surrounds the procedure, no one in the UK has ever been prosecuted for the crime, but officers hope this case could lead to the first.
Police have submitted a file to prosecutors but doubts remain because, although the little girl is now a British national, it is not known if she was at the time.
Despite the high number of cases – 80 so far this year – nobody has yet been prosecuted for the practice.
Last month the Crown Prosecution Service said it is studying five case files passed on by the Metropolitan Police.
Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders recently said a charge would be made relatively shortly, reports the Evening Standard.
More than 1,500 new cases of female genital mutilation have been revealed by a single London maternity unit and staff admit that other cases could have ‘slipped through the net.’
St George’s hospital in Tooting has treated nearly 200 women a year since it started keeping records on the violent practice, it emerged last month.
While most of the 1,546 victims treated in the hospital’s specialist unit were born in Somalia, disturbing statistics show that at least 11 were born in the UK.”

Scum, utter scum.
How much evidence is needed for a successful prosecution?
Surely the simple fact of genital mutilation having taken place is enough to put the parents in the dock?
I completely agree. It is complete guff for the former DPP Keir Starmer to speak of these cases as being ‘difficult to prosecute’. Where a minor is mutilated in this way, the most obvious culprit will be either the parent(s) or those with custody of the child. Because there is this ‘chain of care’ with identifiable adults having control of the child then there should be no problem with Social Services and the Police / prosecutors dealing with this.
I do sadly suspect that there have been no prosecutions of this evil for reasons of ‘community cohesion’. Yet again moral relativism has got in the way of justice.
