Abuse

[carthorse]

Heard a very sad tale on the radio today and just seen these abuse cases on tv. It makes me feel sick that these people have abused these boys and are probably retired now on big pensions. Yes lets look into it and believe these people .Lets name and shame .

Were you listening to radio2 at lunchtime? if it was the same one had me in floods of tears so awful and what a very brave man.

If it is the same one I heard on the radio I actually cried (not like me) but when the now grown man, once an abused boy stated "as I never got to go home on a weekend like the other boys I remained behind and was abused"
I hope they are brought to justice and rot in prison stripped of their no doubt luxurious lifestyles.

The thing was and still is these children were never listened too, they were and still are intimated by adults.

The other thing to remember about this instance (presume it is the North Wales Children's Homes) is that one brave worker Alyson Taylor (if I remeber correctly) spoke up for these children and was sacked as a trouble maker. There was eventually an equiry, but only into what happened WITHIN the homes, the people who said that the children were taken elsewhere to be abused were told that this was not within the remit of the equiry! It makes you wonder why that evidence was never allowed to come forward, doesn't it?

We deal with cases like this all the time on our team within Social Services. It is very sad but rest assured that when cases are referred to teams like ours everything within our power is done to ensure that children are safeguarded for the future and the victims of abuse are supported with a number of agencies to ensure their well being and emotional welfare for the future. Alleged perpetrators are prevented from re-offending by close monitoring and recording of information onto systems which provide safeguarding measures for organisations from employing them in future.

The laws regarding public assessing private information has all changed with the Freedom of Information Act so that a lot of cases that were once 'closed' to the public are now accessible.

It is a sad job, but very rewarding at the same time. I am only in an admin role but I am a small cog in a huge organisation of child protection and feel very proud to be able to assist in helping and safeguarding children.

If only this were actually always the case, and it certainly wasn't when the abuse in the North Wales childrens homes happened I have been a social worker for many, many years and while the above is the idea, it rarely happens IME
