From Times front page yesterday.

Rotherham Council have agreed to give a rapist access to the son of one of his victims.

She was 15 at the time and part of the grooming scandal. He has not got any parental responsibility. He's not mentioned on the birth certificate but the local authority have taken it upon themselves to contact this man with a view to arrange visits.

Honestly, who at the council, thinks this is in any way in the best interests of the child or his mother?

I don’t even have the words to express how angry this makes me.

Not very helpful to the thread, but felt the need to speak up for those involved.

Harm has already been done though.
Oh definitely. Poor woman.

I couldn't actually imagine Rotherham social services could shit on that poor woman any more than it already has but clearly I hadn't given them enough credit

How brave of her to speak out about this.

Thankfully, it'll never happen.

There is an article on the bbc website with an interview with the mother. It says the father has not even requested access to his child but still someone else thought it would be a good idea. Absolute madnesss.

Who on earth thought this was a good idea after everything that went on at Rotherham?
I do wonder about people involved in these council departments.

The Times have handled it well with that headline.

I think okay to include this here since Sammy herself posted it.
