Paedophile network members jailed

The jury found Rennie - the former chief of LGBT Youth Scotland, an organisation which offers advice on sexuality to young people - guilty of molesting a young boy over more than four years. The child was just three months old when the abuse started.

Sickening reading indeed, but so much of it! Compare that with the HE abuse stories..nothing but allegations and lies from hysterical,ignorant morons! Crank Parent, I'm so sorry to read your post, particularly as I know how unlikely it is for something like that to get past you unnoticed which points to a cover up.

Disabled pupil 'forced to stand'

A teacher who made a girl with brittle bone disorder stand in a corner after she misbehaved has been banned from teaching for two years.

Andrew Keep, Monmouthshire Council's director of lifelong learning said:

"Situations such as this are extremely uncommon within Monmouthshire and at all times, the education and welfare of the children and young people in our care is our first priority."

Inspector calls for urgent review at Castington YOI

The chief inspector of prisons has called for an urgent review after it emerged that seven inmates at a young offender institution (YOI) suffered fractures in the space of two years.

"Managers had thoroughly examined each case but could offer no coherent explanation for the scale and frequency of these incidents."

Castington holds juveniles aged 15 to 17 and young adults aged 18 to 21 separately on the same site.

"Abusive teachers are falling through the net, despite compulsory registration with the GTC and inadequate CRB checks, so parents should be given access to teachers' homes and computers to check for any signs of dodgy activity."
