THE TRAUMATIC strip-search of Child Q in a Hackney school by police officers was a “violation of human rights”, a former director of education in the north-east London borough has said.
Professor John warned that the practice of strip-searching was becoming increasingly common, along with school exclusions of black primary pupils for ‘sexual assault’.A report into the Child Q incident, which took place in December 2020, found that it had a traumatic effect, transforming her from a “happy-go-lucky girl to a timid recluse that hardly speaks” and who now self-harms.
Child Q told the police she was on her period but officers made her take out her sanitary product and then reinsert it, before teachers told her to go and sit an exam without asking how she was. INTIMIDATING: Police patrolling school corridors is leading to more criminalisation of black children, say critics
He added that the intimate search had violated seven clauses of the United Nations convention on the rights of children. “One feature believed to have a significance to the experience of Child Q is that of adultification bias. This concept is where adults perceive Black children as being older than they are.”
