UK Care Homes Rape and Murder Children

« Prince Harry Doesn't … | Home | Childhood Over at 11 … »

Last weekend, a child's remains were found at a former children's home on Jersey amid claims of a paedophile ring.

More than 200 children who lived at Haut de la Garenne have described horrific sexual and physical torture dating back to the Sixties.

When I heard the news, my eyes filled with tears. I felt heartbroken, not least at my own powerlessness. I have known for more than 15 years about Channel Islands paedophiles victimising children in the British care system.

There have been other care homes where this sort of thing has happened, in London and in Wales, where Lord Greville Janner, a senior magistrate and then President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews was unsuccessfully charged. This child sex abuse is institutionalised in Britain, and other Euopean countries.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
"

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
