Jade’s mum Elaine Noble, of Halifax, added: “It hurts more now than ever.

“I feel like I’m in some conspiracy to stop justice being done.

“If it had gone to court and a jury had found him not guilty, we could have accepted that, but we haven’t been given that chance.”

Jade and Daniel were living in Aspirations’ accommodation, designed to support young people leaving local authority care, at the time of the incident.

Shipley man Mr Tanwir was employed as a ‘sleep-in’ worker at the home on Sherwood Avenue in Bradley.

According to a letter from the Attorney General, the request from the teenagers’ families did not meet the necessary requirements for a referral.

Now their barrister Naeem Siraj is seeking a judicial review of the ruling.

Linda, who has two other children, said: “We can’t give up. We have got to keep going. It only makes you more adamant.”

Elaine, who has three other children, added: “If I gave up, it would be like saying Jade’s not worth anything. I can’t do that.”
