Thousands of children raped by gangs with ‘menus’ of victims

"Shocking report on UK sex abuse

2,409 ... children abused by gangs between August 2010 and October 2011

"THOUSANDS of children a year are raped by organised gangs — who give fellow perverts sick “menus” to pick their victims, an official report said yesterday.

The Children’s Commissioner highlights the “conspiracy of silence” which allowed Savile to “rape children with impunity”. However, it adds that it is “too easy to simply blame the BBC” as the problem was far more widespread.

It reveals 2,409 youngsters were abused in the space of just 14 months. But astonishingly, Government sources branded the report “hysterical” and “highly emotional” last night.

The devastating document details how paedophiles [sic] can browse at leisure for children to attack with the aid of photos and details including ages on the menus.

In addition to recorded attacks, another 16,500 children were seen as being at “high risk”, according to the report by Deputy Children’s Commissioner Sue Berelowitz.

In one abuse case, a six-month series of sickening attacks left a 12-year-old girl looking like “a ravaged, haggard old woman”."

The Sun Says

"Save children

TODAY’S ground-breaking [sic] report on child abuse reveals more than 2,400 kids have been raped, beaten and degraded by groups of evil paedos [sic].

A shocking 16,500 are at “high-risk” of similar abuse. And it all comes just weeks after the Jimmy Savile scandal rocked Britain.

Savile got away [evidence?] with his crimes for decades because his vulnerable victims were too scared to speak out. [evidence?] The kids in today’s report are just as terrified. [hardly]

Cops and social workers cannot sit back and wait for complaints that will never come.

They must instead grab the initiative and seek out the victims.

Only then will we have a chance of catching — and caging — twisted abusers."

Online porn linked to half of all child sex abuse cases

"Report identified some 16,500 youngsters as displaying signs of being vulnerable to being sexually abused

The impact of online porn is partly to blame in half [control group?] of cases where children are at risk of sexual exploitation

Thousands of children in England are at high risk of sexual exploitation – and in half the cases, the impact of online porn is partly to blame, a devastating report found last night.

Some 16,500 youngsters – the equivalent of 20 medium-sized secondary schools [!] – were identified over the course of one year as displaying signs of being vulnerable to being raped or otherwise sexually abused.

Contrary to expectations, many were from ‘loving and stable’ middle-class homes, with children as young as four at risk.

Vulnerable: Children from 'loving and stable' middle-class homes were among those found to be at risk

The study by Sue Berelowitz, the deputy children’s commissioner, into sexual exploitation by urban gangs found that the ‘use and impact’ of pornography was a major factor [sic] in 48 per cent of interviews with abuse victims and perpetrators.

She said the easy access of porn online skewed young people’s views about what is ‘acceptable, required or expected’ of sex – and could leave boys seeing girls as ‘objects to be used and abused’." [hardly a new position to take, for boys or girls]

The invention of yet another form of abuse

"A new report claiming that thousands of British children are being sexually exploited is built on alarmist moralising rather than hard facts.

A new report from the UK Office of the Children’s Commissioner, titled Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Gangs and Groups, shows that policy-led research is still flourishing in Westminster.

The key thing about such research is that it is commissioned to provide evidence for what policymakers already believe to be true. In other words, such research is really just policymakers’ prejudices masquerading as a piece of academic work. The authors of this new report explain that what ‘prompted’ their inquiry was ‘mounting concern about child sexual exploitation and the inadequate responses to it’. That is, the people behind the inquiry already knew there was a ‘mounting’ danger out there; the only problem was finding some evidence to prove the existence of this danger."

'Abuse' Is Just Something 'You' Do Not Like

Thursday 27 September 2012 16.37 BST

Child sexual abuse is never consensual, whatever the victim's behaviour

"As the Rochdale case report shows, adults manipulating even teenage victims for sex is not a form of relationship, it's abuse

CCTV images showing 15-year-old Megan Stammers and her maths teacher, Jeremy Forrest, 30, who are missing. British authorities are treating Megan's case as a clear child-protection issue.

Today a report on the Rochdale child abuse case revealed that some officials believe sexually exploited children are "making their own choices". It's hardly surprising to hear that some under-16-year-olds are having sex: a one-size-fits-all age of consent doesn't accommodate individual differences. What is surprising is that the children in question weren't exploring sex with their peers, but were having sex with much older adults. Consider this scenario: A 12-year-old is repeatedly raped by a family friend who tells her it's their little secret. She doesn't scream and cry each time, she doesn't try to fight him off and she doesn't tell anyone. Did she consent to sex? No, of course not. Why then is it such a struggle for some to grasp that teenage victims of child sexual exploitation (CSE) don't consent either?"
