Children as young as 10 are being moved around the UK to be sexually exploited at parties organised by paedophiles, a charity says.
Barnardo's says thousands of girls and boys are at risk of organised trafficking.
The organisation says the vast majority of local authorities do not provide expert help for such children.
But directors of children's services insist councils are well aware of their responsibilities - and taking action.
In its report,…

Rebbecca Stevenson left her Children home alone, the youngest child was
a baby 3 months of age, she walks free from court, the Children are now
in care of the Grandparents, the judicial system is a disgrace, i bet

Health and Safety checks in the home now!
Soon nobody will want to have children.
With Social Services crumbling at the seams, Family Courts in meltdown & large increases in Care Proceedings since the death of baby Peter, Social Workers will have a much larger caseload, because of the above legislation; more vulnerable children will fall through the net.
Big Brother and the nanny state going crazy, who is going to pay for these Health and Safety checks, you and me the…

The Prime Minister is to apologise for forced deporting of children fr0m 1930 to 1970. But
they are still at it. Social services are still snatching children and telling them falsely that their families do not want them and also telling grandparents and extended family that the children do not want to see them either. (Parental Alienation) This confuses and demoralises children into accepting forced adoption to complete strangers. An excellent cost cutting business plan! But children…

A high-flying city lawyer was fired from her £150,000-a-year job after a 'routine security check' revealed her DNA was held on the national database - over a 'false allegation' made against her.
Lorraine Elliott said that she felt 'gobsmacked and depressed' after bosses spotted her file during 'background clearance' checks as she was just about to start work on a new project.
The mother-of-three today described her reputation as having been 'tainted'…

The Legal Services Commission have informed Childrens Panel Solicitors and other Family Barristers, that they will cease to fund independent Social Workers, to act as Guardians in Public Law Cases.
The former was brought out in the new Cafcass Guidelines, which was brought in over six weeks ago, to oversee the backlog of cases that have come into the Family Court arena, due to the increase in Care Proceedings, which have been instigated, due to the Local Authority failings resulting in the…

The quality of residential care hit by Local Authority cuts is an absolute disgrace, again this will effect the children that are in in the care system and reside in these homes.
The LA cuts could be down to the alarmingly high amount of Care Proceedings that are being instigated by Social Services, more of the taxpayers money wasted. One Local Authority have already dropped 500 cases regarding Child protection issues via the Family Courts.
The question is should any of…

HARINGEY Council finally apologised today for the catalogue of blunders that left Baby P to die.
But no social workers were sacked or suspended after the apology was dragged out of a senior councillor under huge political pressure.
Liz Santry, the councillor in charge of services for children and young people, said the council was “truly sorry we did not do more to protect” the 17-month-old baby found dead after months of abuse in his own home.
Ms Santry said:…

I applaud the sacking of Mike Wardle the chief executive of the GSCC.
203 unallocated misconduct cases and 21 public conduct cases is a disgrace, i wonder how many children have been left at risk of abuse, because of this mans incompetence?
At last, i cant believe what i am reading, Social Work training is going to be strengthened, which will hopefully raise standards of practice,and wow, holding the profession account for competence as well as conduct.
