Rotherham, which you are likely referring to, was a complete failure of the system at every level and utterly unacceptable.

It sparked 5+ inquiries, including a parliamentary one, numerous reforms and national outrage. I hope we learn from those mistakes.

I never said England was perfect, and I'm not sure why this invalidates any of the points I've made.

I could pick a few things that have happened in America that have not triggered universal outrage and a senate hearing. Like weekly school shootings.

Exactly this, you can go back and forth all day (like the judge in 2009 who went to prison for sending thousands of kids to detention facilities in exchange for $2.6M in kickbacks [1]), but it's not related in any way.
