"What can we do to get him out if the law says he can stay? The police will turn up and remove you if you are near his house.
"They tell us to leave him alone. I don't think any of them work apart from the son who sometimes runs the father around in his car."

The battle has been further complicated by Rauf and Khan renouncing their Pakistani citizenship.
They both exploited a loophole by ripping up their passports, becoming "stateless", which can block a deportation.
Rauf and fellow gang leader Khan, who got a 13-year-old girl pregnant, lost a lengthy fight in 2018 against deportation alongside a third member of the gang, Abdul Aziz.
They subsequently launched another appeal- insisting the order breaches their human rights as they both have wives and children in the UK.

Grooming gang crackdown unveiled
BARONESS Casey's report sets out a series of recommendations, which the government has accepted in full.
1.
Strengthen the law
: Tighten the law so that any adult who has sex with a child under the age of 16 is automatically charged with rape, removing current legal grey areas that allow abusers to avoid proper punishment.
2.
Address Historical Failings
: Through a national inquiry pursue justice for past cases and hold accountable those who failed to act.
3.
Enhance Intelligence Gathering
: Improve the collection and analysis of information to combat exploitation more effectively.
4.
Improve Inter-Agency Collaboration
: Foster stronger cooperation and information-sharing among agencies.
5.
Mandatory Reporting
: Require all services to share information when a child is at risk.
6.
Introduce Unique Child Identifiers
: Implement a system to ensure children are consistently and accurately identified across services.
7.
Modernise Police Systems
: Upgrade technology to enable seamless communication and prevent missed opportunities.
8.
Treat Grooming Gangs as Serious Organised Crime
: Employ the same robust strategies used to combat other forms of organised criminal activity.
9.
Investigate Declining Reports
: The Department for Education must examine why reports of child abuse are decreasing and take corrective action.
10.
Understand the Underlying Drivers
: Conduct in-depth research into the factors underpinning grooming gangs, including cultural and online influences.
11.
Regulate the Taxi Industry
: Prevent exploitation by restricting the use of 'out-of-area' taxi drivers.
12.
Commit Government Resources
: Ministers must allocate funding and ensure measurable progress is achieved.
