Default AHEd dossier of professional child abusers

AHEd has pulled together a massive number of examples of the abuse of children by 'professionals' in schools and other 'care' settings- all neatly catalogued by LA area.

Read it and weep.

Children at risk in schools

The URL for the Care Homes enquiry is broken in the link above. (You need to click on the link in my post first and then copy and paste the URL. If you just cut and paste from my post the link will not work correctly.) Alternatively, here is a direct link to the Word (bleurgh) version of the report:

Thanks for spotting this, Crank Parent. It encouraged me to revisit this report and look again at some of the remarks and recommendations. Kathleen Marshall, one of the authors, of course went on to become Scotland's first Commissioner for Children & Young People.

This extract resonated particularly:
Quote:
G. Minimising Child Abuse - How assured can we be?

6.21 Our remit requires us “to assure Social Work Committee and the public that every measure is in place to minimise child abuse.”

6.22 The word “minimise” is well chosen. It would be impossible to set up a system so tight that the possibility of abuse was altogether excluded. Any attempt to achieve this unattainable aim would result in disappointment, recrimination, a defensive attitude by staff which would be unhelpful for children, and the imposition of restrictions on children themselves which would be inimical to healthy development.

"School sex attacks on the increase"

Hmmm. Maybe these children would be safer in their own homes?

Sorry, I forgot you have to register to see the full stories on that site. It reads thus:

Quote:
A dramatic rise in rapes and sexual assualts in London schools has been reported by the Metropolitan Police.

The figures show there were 15 rapes during 2008/9, five more than the previous year. Alleged rapes were also up, from 20 to 32 during the same period.

During 2008/9, 180 sexual assaults took place, 21 more than the previous year, and 246 sexual assault allegations were made, an increase of 23 since 2007/8.

Over the past five years there have been 810 sexual assaults and 65 rapes on school premises.

Commander Mark Simmons, head of the Metropolitan Police's violent crime directorate, said the force is now carrying out a review into the rise.

He added that the majority of cases involve attacks on girls and a small minority of allegations involved consensual sex between an underage boy and girl. Often in these cases a prosecution is not pursued as it is not in the public interest.
Not good :-(

Don't worry, though...

Woman teaching assistant 'lured girls to pool parties so husband could secretly film them naked'

Quote:
A teaching assistant lured teenage girls to her house for pool parties and sleep overs so her husband could secretly film them undressing, a court heard today.
Quote:
Mr Foxall, who committed suicide last year shortly after being interviewed by police, filmed the 14 and 15-year-olds undressing and in the bath from his loft.
Quote:
Mr Foxall ran a canoe club for teenagers and some of the filming is alleged to have taken place after the teenagers had been on trips up the canal.
Quote:
Rosemary Foxall denies 10 counts of making indecent photographs of a child and one count of possession of indecent photographs of children from 17 July 2000 to 17 July 2008.

She is accused of having 147 indecent images of children in the form of video recordings.

I am constantly sickened at what we find under the veneer .
I suppose they had both been cleared by CRB
Maybe a little booklet of cases of CRB checked persons who go on to abuse ? just to explain why our doors will not be opened
