Aide to Former UK PM Thatcher Posthumously Accused of CSA at Welsh Care Homes

ByCBG Reading Time: 1 minute

An ex-Conservative minister has claimed to have seen evidence that an aide to Margaret Thatcher committed child abuse against children in a care home in North Wales for 20 years betweeen the 1960s and 1980s. The boss of the main establishement was convicted of child abuse in the mid-1990s and another former Tory claimed the aide was a paedophile in the second volume of her diaries. The Mail on Sunday has the story here.

  • Sharing – Many Sex Offender Registries Are Rife With Errors

    The whole idea of a registry was to ease the minds of panicked parents so they would check the public registry, know that their lovely, upper-class neighborhood didn’t have any offenders in it, and go back to ignoring any talk of their kids being at risk for sexual abuse.

    What you also won’t see is that registries do nothing, absolutely nothing, to protect against offenders who haven’t been caught and convicted. That would be the vast majority of cases, by the way.

  • Trafficking Happens In All The Places We Assume It Doesn’t

    Kathleen’s point is an important one. We aren’t going to see change when so many people see trafficking, abuse, etc., as something that happens to “those other people.” We need to continue telling our stories so that we remind people that trafficking isn’t something that happens only with immigrants or poor people. It’s the same thing with abuse, sexual assault, mental health. It happens everywhere, and if you don’t know anyone who was trafficked or survived sexual abuse or assault, it’s probably because you don’t seem like a safe person to talk to about it.

It’s a thoroughly researched look at the sport in the 1990s…
