This could well be just the tip of an iceberg and we do not know how large that iceberg is - how many towns the size of Rotherham or larger are there in the United Kingdom :-( |

A quiet word of advice with the parents/guardians might be in order too. |

From what has been published elsewhere the police, when they found them drunk, were treating the children as the criminals, not as victims! |

Sexual abuse of young people has allegedly taken place at, the Haut de la Garenne children’s home, the Kincora boys’ home in Northern Ireland, the Bryn Estyn children’s home in North Wales, and the Elm Guest House in South West London, and these are only a few of those that we know about |

The man who is the Police & Crime Commissioner (PCC) for South Yorkshire (before becoming the PCC he was the councillor on Rotherham Council in charge of children's services and also sat on the Police Authority of South Yorkshire Police) has today made it clear that he has no intention of standing down from his position of PCC - this despite calls for him to quit over what happened on his watch in relation to child abuse in Rotherham. |

Calls for heads to roll are being met by deaf ears. |

The Independent newspaper is reporting that at least three senior officials employed by Rotherham Council during the period covered by the inquiry now hold senior positions at other local authorities and continue to work in areas related to childcare. |
