Children in London have been put at risk by 'serious failing' from the city's Metropolitan Police in the way it looks into child sexual abuse.
This according to a report by the HM Inspectorate of Constabulary which says 75% of cases were not properly dealt with.
It says the Met has often been too focused on other crimes to investigate reports of child sexual abuse adequately.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says the situation is 'unacceptable'.
Tim John reports from London.
