In the UK we have two incidents.

And attempt was made to remove a child from a Romanian family by social 
services. The community rioted to stop them.

In another case a Pakistani girl was beaten to death by her father while 
her family stood by and watched. Social services knew what was going on, 
but forbore to 'increase racial tension' by imposing western standards 
of behaviour on a deeply traditional Pakistani  family.

greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most 
obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of 
conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which 
they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by 
thread, into the fabric of their lives.”
