The more i read, the more i feel sick to the pit of my stomach. The amount of child abuse going on is astounding, the lack of intention to prosecute is pitiful and to top it off the sentencing is woefully pathetic.
Its almost as though paedophiles have been given a green light to offend again and again.
The Cyril Smith case has thrown up allegations of bribery, I should be horrified, yet this doesnt surprise me anymore. It seems that nearly everyone in power has a price and the protection of children falls far short of warranting any form of moral obligation to put them first

The sooner Leah McGrath Goodman gets her feet on Jersey soil the better. Nobody here is going to blow this whole corrupt system wide open because so many of them appear to be a part of it or have a vested interest in sweeping it all under the carpet.
Mumsnet as a site should be campaigning against closed family courts. If you are having your children removed then all sides must be heard instead of this ridiculous system where reports can be submitted without those writing them having ever met the parents or children involved. WTF are our courts thinking
You would never get away with this crap in any other aspect of the law. Can you imagine a mass murderer having his mental health being assessed by someone who has never met him yet childrens lives are being determined by a system that does exactly that.
So many issues have been thrown up since JS regarding child protection in this country its overwhelming.
lockedout 5 years for that piece of shit, i'd have given him life without parole in a non segregated part of the prison with a whopper tatoo accross his forehead stating what he has done.
