The outrage was palpable at today’s protest. A Freedom of information Request revealed this week that racism was a factor in the Metropolitan Police’s horrific strip search of a schoolgirl known as Child Q in 2020. She was forced to bend over for 4 men to look at her private parts. No other trusted adult was present and her parents weren’t informed.
