It happens because we let it

Here we go. Sara Rowbotham, who worked as Rochdale Crisis Intervention Team coordinator from 2004, said no-one has been held to account for all their failings. The health worker said she had alerted the authorities to hundreds of children who were being abused, but no-one listened to her at the time. Rowbotham has claimed police put a "ceiling" on the number of people they could arrest in the 2012 Rochdale abuse case.

They know where it's happening and who is doing it. But they do nothing. If police chiefs and council CEOs faced jail for professional incompetence this would stop tomorrow. Now watch them hide behind their "cuts" narrative - when this was happening while police numbers were never higher.
