Scotland's papers: Deprived children 'being sold' in Govanhill

The Times leads with claims that "cultural sensitivities" are behind a failure by the authorities to stop children being forced into prostitution in one of Scotland's most deprived communities. The paper says its own investigation uncovered evidence that young girls and boys were regularly propositioning people walking through the Govanhill area of Glasgow.

The story dominating most of the front pages is the suspension of SNP MSP Mark McDonald from the party after further claims about his conduct. The Herald says a Scottish Parliament worker is understood to have made an allegation about the 37-year-old former children's minister.

The Scottish Sun writes that Mr McDonald, who quit as a minister over inappropriate behaviour, has been suspended after a second complaint was lodged just days after he was defended by Nicola Sturgeon.

Mr McDonald is now "seeking help" over his inappropriate behaviour as the SNP investigates the latest allegations made against him, reports the i newspaper.

The Scottish Daily Mail writes that party chiefs said they had made the decision to suspend him after new information about the Aberdeen Donside MSP was brought to them in the last 24 hours.
