Grooming gangs in the Black Country of the English West Midlands have been revealed to have targetted a nine-year-old girl. One of Britain’s youngest victims of child sexual exploitation by grooming gangs was listed in the latest statistics released by the Sandwell Council, which said that 36 people, aged between nine and 22, were at risk of abuse by the vicious gangs in 2020. Two-thirds of the victims were listed as being “white British or white other”, compared to nine of mixed race, and one from Pakistani heritage, the BirminghamLive reported . This falls in line with a 2017 report from the counter-extremism think tank Quilliam which stated that grooming gangs specifically target young white girls as they are seen as “easy targets” compared to girls from their own communities, whom they felt should be “protected”. The report found that overall 84 per cent of grooming crimes were committed by Muslim men of South Asian backgrounds. A police report from 2012 found that a grooming gang was operating in the Black Country — named for the region’s traditional heavy industry, being one of the crucibles of the Industrial Revolution — area of Walsall, which is now home to a large Pakistani population. “Clusters of offenders have been found in Walsall and on Birmingham East which also have the highest populations of Pakistani communities in the West Midlands,” the police report said. “The close proximity of suspect addresses in […] Walsall suggests offenders are collaborating in the identification, grooming and subsequent abuse of vulnerable females.” “We accept that there have been failings in some historical cases in the past, and in 2012 we expanded our Public Protection Unit to improve our service to victims of abuse.” Grooming Gang Rape Victim: Mohammed Ali Sultan and Shahmeel Khan Turned Me into an Inhuman ‘Sex Thing’ https://t.co/MPxOho8zXw — Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) September 9, 2020 In March of this year, an alleged ...

How Dottie Pepper’s Former Mentor George Pulver Might Advise Dustin Johnson And Will Zalatoris
( CBS New York ) — Golf may seem to be an individual sport. When a player steps up to address that little white ball, that player looks to be very much alone. But that player brings with them the accumulated knowledge and training bestowed upon them by a team of individuals. It could be counsel from a knowledgeable caddie received moments before. It could swing adjustments made by a coach the previous week. And, in Dottie Pepper’s case, it could be the wise words of a mentor along her path to stardom. Pepper is currently CBS Sports’ on-course reporter during its run of PGA Tour events. But she was previously a longtime player on the LPGA Tour, where she won 17 events including two major championships. Pepper did not ascend to such heights in the game alone. She had the help of George Pulver , the longtime Head Professional at both McGregor Links and Saratoga Golf & Polo, near her native Saratoga Springs, New York. In her formative years, it was his advice that helped guide her to NYS Women’s Amateur (1981) and NYS Girls’ Junior (1981, 1983).

She kept his letters in a binder as “my reference book for all things golf.” “I’ve come to realize the binder is much more,” Pepper said. “It is a blueprint for honoring the history and traditions of the game of golf; it also is about mentorship, beliefs, curiosity, grit, grace, dreams, disappointment, success, and the value of education.” READ MORE: Red Sox Blow Out White Sox In Patriots' Day Game At Fenway Park Modern players might also find some value in the words of Mr. Pulver.

Former Austin sheriff’s detective suspect in shooting that left 3 dead
Good morning and welcome to Fox News First. Here's what you need to know as you start your day Austin police identify former sheriff's detective accused of rape as suspect behind deadly shooting Video Austin police said that the three lifeless bodies were all adults, including two Hispanic females, and one Black male. They said they believe the suspect is Stephen Nicholas Broderick, who is a former Travis County Sheriff's Office detective that was charged with raping a 16-year-old girl last summer. Austin's KXAN, citing an arrest affidavit, reported last June that the ex-detective was on administrative leave following an arrest for allegations of sexual assault. Broderick reportedly spent 16 days in jail before he posted a reduced bail amount of $50,000. Court records reviewed by the paper indicate his wife filed for divorce and obtained an order of protection after his arrest which was a year after he received a promotion by the Travis County Sheriffs Law Enforcement Association. The Austin Police Department said the suspect was still on the run Sunday evening and is considered armed and dangerous.

Stimulus Check Update: Will You Get A Fourth Relief Payment?
( CBS DFW ) — Many Americans are wondering about a fourth stimulus check, even as the third round of economic relief continues to arrive. Around 159 million payments of up to $1,400 per person have been issued over the last month. Paper checks and EIP cards continue to arrive by mail. Plus-up payments, for those who didn’t receive what they’re eligible for, have also started going out. Altogether that’s most of the $422 billion allotted in President Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act. These relief payments are part of a larger effort to soften COVID’s economic impact on households and brace the economy while the pandemic recovery continues. The stimulus package also extends unemployment benefits, strengthens the child tax credit, and much more. The recent round of checks follows the $1,200 CARES Act payments at the pandemic’s outset and the $600 payments in early January.

Financial insecurity is widespread, with 40 percent of respondents in one survey saying their current income falls short of their pre-pandemic income. Nine percent of American adults (18 million people) recently reported a shortage of food in their household over the previous week, according to U.S. Census survey data from March. Approximately 15 percent of renters (10.7 million people) have fallen behind on their rent, including 21 percent of renters with children in their household. (The federal eviction moratorium currently in effect doesn’t forgive rent owed, it pushes the debt into the future.) Millions are also struggling to pay their mortgage. As of the second half of March, nearly a third of American adults reported some difficulty keeping up with expenses in the prior week. Employment also remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Somewhere around 9.5 million of the jobs lost during the ...
