Updates: ‘For the Children’ march brings out dozens of demonstrators in London
As the abuse of thousands of young British girls by largely migrant grooming gangs has been thrust back into the spotlight, dozens of concerned Londoners have gathered to take a stand against child exploitation.
Rebel News journalist Sammy Woodhouse is on the scene in London as dozens of protesters march against all forms of child abuse.
The 'For the Children' march is set to begin in the Park Lane and Wellington Arch area before moving through Westminster.

Police are on foot and in vehicles at both meeting points.
Not sure why such heavy presence is needed for a small event.

One concerned mother, whose son was the victim of a robbery, voiced her concern with the surge in violent and disturbing incidents targeting children.
"He's still absolutely traumatized by what happened," she said. "And this was back in November, and since then it's been happening to his school friends [who] have been walking to school, getting robbed, boys with knives, the same thing," she added.
