What about Charlene Downes?

I would think it quite likely that Charlene has heard of Stephen, although it's not compulsory.
heard of Stephen, although it's not compulsory.
It was?
It was?
Heard of both. Stephen Lawrence's killers, or at least some of them quite rightly given long jail terms and hopefully one day we can say the same for Charlene's killers.
At least 60 schoolgirls were groomed for sex by workers at seedy takeaways linked to the murder of a 14-year-old girl.
Children as young as 11 were targeted by mainly Asian staff at fast food outlets in Blackpool. They were offered food, alcohol and cigarettes in return for sexual favours.
An unpublicised police report produced after 14-year-old Charlene Downes vanished in 2003 found the girls, most if not all white, had been victims of the ‘honey pot’ premises. There were claims last night that the report was suppressed for reasons of political correctness.
Seedy: The takeaway in Blackpool linked to Charlene Downes, then 14, and Paige Chivers, then 15, who are both missing
Four years later another girl, 15-year-old Paige Chivers, also went missing. Detectives believe she was killed like Charlene, whose body has never been found.

The police would be better off 'believing' that they should do their job properly and stop this kind of crime BEFORE it can go to such extremes as trafficking or, POSSIBLY, murder.
Where is 'The Blackpool One' with his response?
Who's that? Do you mean the Kebab King iof the North? 
What has the Blackpool stuff got to do with Stephen Lawrence please?
Sod all to do with Stephen Lawrence. A better question would be why no-one gave a damn about mass grooming in Blackpool and elsewhere until the Rotherham report the other week. The cynic in me says it has nothing to do with race or pc but that Rotherham was all over the papers to "bury the bad news" of the Carswell defection to UKIP.
The two events aren't connected. OP is a young chav who probably bears more than a passing resemblance to the thugs responsible for the Stephen Lawrence murder.
Mass grooming in Blackpool is a disgrace and a lot of questions need answering. I am not sure any of the questions would contain the words Stephen Lawrence.

Popular teenager Ross Parker, who was brutally murdered in a racist attack in central Peterborough, has been remembered on the 10th anniversary of his death.
Ross Parker (17) was killed while walking along a cycle path off Bourges Boulevard, Peterborough, with his girlfriend at 1.15am in the morning on September 21, 2001.
His murderers were Ahmed Ali Awan (32), Shaied Nazir (22) and Sarfaz Ali (35), who were all found guilty following a trial and are now in prison.
The five foot five inches tall teenager was set upon in a totally unprovoked attack, sprayed with CS gas and hit with a hammer, before being stabbed in the chest and neck.
Despite the brutal end to his life, positive memories of a boy affectionately nick-named “Half Pint” live on through friends, family and others who have learned about him after his death.
His sister Leanne said: “We have had lots of messages of support and that is a lot of comfort.
“I was looking at his Facebook memorial page this morning and it is amazing how many people are messaging about him.
“Some were his friends but some were people who had never met him. That brought a few tears to know he touched their lives too.
“My parents go to the crematorium every Sunday and there are still new letters and flowers there all the time from people.
“That does help on days like this because we realise his memory does live on and it’s also not just us who lost Ross and the world moves on as normal.”
As much as the memory of the happy teen has not diminished over the years, nor has the family’s anger towards the men who killed him.
After being found guilty, Awan was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years in prison and Nazie and Ali were jailed for at least 16 years.
Leanne added: “It is very strange how fast the 10 years have gone and it makes it even worse that they could be out and free in a few years. That’s not right.”
Ross’ mum, Davina said: “They got off far too light and it is disgusting they will be out soon. They should have been hung. I said that at the time and I will say that until the day I die.”
His dad Tony added: “It is just difficult getting on with your life. The 10 years have flown by and it’s still hard to believe he has gone.”
Leanne added: “He will always be with us but it’s very hard.
“He is missed so much, especially at things like my wedding to my husband Steve in Yaxley Parish Church two years ago.”
Leanne and Steve, who live in London, came to Peterborough yesterday to mark the anniversary.
They went to Peterborough Crematorium in Marholm with Ross’ parents to add flowers to bouquets left at his memorial.
The family along with his best friend Nick Carter went to the Fitzwilliam Arms and while there they continued the tradition of toasting Ross’ life with a Goldschläger - his favourite drink.
Others toasted his memory at a memorial event in The Solstice, in Northminster, Peterborough, where Ross used to work.
Racist murder in aftermath of 9/11
ROSS Parker was killed in a racially motivated attack by Muslim youths 10 days after the 9/11 attack on New York.
At the time the youths were sentenced by the court, Justice Sir Edwin Jowitt QC said: “You attacked an innocent man you might find by chance simply because he was of a different race to yourself.
“A racist killing must be one of the gravest kinds of killing.”
