It's a complex balancing act - and I don't think you've done this in your piece (in answer to your question). I transitioned out of child protection but keep an eye on such things - and these things are incredibly complicated and not quite as simple as they first look.
I worked very closely (as an example) with a young girl who was being groomed. I won't go into too many details and her groomers weren't from Pakistani/Bangladeshi origins. Her psychological presentation made it difficult to stop her, when she was aged 14, from sneaking out of her residential unit to meet with her groomers, from running away from trips outside of her unit (if anyone took their eye off her for more than a second). Her phone was removed by social services, she had three hidden in her room. When police investigated the whole thing, she had phone numbers hidden all over her room, written on scraps of paper and tucked into various hidden areas that weren't immediately obvious to the naked eye. Every time she ran away she was Misper'd and the police would find her and bring her back. This would sometimes be three or four times a week. She was eventually moved out of my jurisdiction to a placement far away where things likely started up again.
The reason she did this was because she had a horrific childhood that left her vulnerable to a) outside interest from men and b) the psychological need to be cared for by the authorities. It's a perfect storm. It's an exhausting storm. Residential staff are not permitted to restrain her if she tries to escape, they are not permitted to challenge the men when they're parked outside. Their information can be given to the police, but the girl would never testify against them. It's a chilling problem. Not one with an easy fix at the micro-level.
I trained social workers, one of the many reasons why I take an anti-identity stance on most matters (and am a Penguin) is that I have seen the effect both racism and the use of accusation of racism can do. I find both abhorrent and have advised social workers for a long time to ignore any complaints which go in about racism if they understand the mandate they are working under. That isn't to say the predominantly white, predominantly young, workforce is going to listen in moments of panic where being called 'racist' has the potential not only to end your career but also your social life.
I am very concerned about the weaponisation of these cases - it does empower the right and it looks for very simple solutions to very complicated problems. The exaggeration and simplification enflames the rhetoric and demands simple answers be given to very complicated problems. Problems which take in the entire nature of human psychology at every level. Whether that's the confusing psychology of abuse, the fatigue of organisations, or the cultural complexities which come with religious practice.
We can be open and honest about these things, but most people don't want to hear about what happens in the dark underbelly of society. Most people don't understand. They mistake simple solutions for effective ones. I can see the political right making a great show of 'deportation' - which to my mind says 'we have an abusive individual here... why not ensure other girls around the world are more at risk'. I don't know what you do with problems like this - but I know the decisions about how to proceed need to be taken by moderates rather than the loudest voices - because the loudest voices are almost always wrong. :o)
