## Resource

In this hard-hitting segment, Lowe reveals how Sikh communities successfully defended their daughters from grooming gangs, while British fathers were blocked by police. He discusses the deep frustration of law-abiding fathers when the state fails to protect their children, the emotional cost of inaction, and plans for private prosecutions against authorities who enabled the abuse.
