It is well documented that there has been a problem with abuse in North Wales...for decades.
More here on the more infamous - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Wales_child_abuse_scandal
Too many reports highlighted systemic failings within Clywd and Gwynedd Councils and the North Wales Police.
Shedloads of apologies were given and guarantees of change by the heads of every organisation.
Ssshh dont tell...
Though if memory serves me the only person sacked was the whistleblower social worker, Alison Taylor, by Gwynedd council. #Shameful
Then came the arrest and jailing of the North Wales Police Superintendent, Gordon Anglesea.
from wikipedia -
On 4 November 2016, former police superintendent Gordon Anglesea was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the sexual abuse of a 14 and 15-year-old boy, with one of the victims being a resident of the Bryn Estyn care home.[66] Anglesea had faced media allegations of involvement in sexual abuse at the home since the early 1990s, and had successfully sued four media organisations for libel in 1994, winning £375,000.[67] Anglesea died on 15 December 2016, while serving his sentence at HM Prison Rye Hill.[68]
More apologies were shovelled into the 'mea culpa' bag.
Then I was reminded of a complaint of abuse being made in 2014 to the police but it was not treated properly and the person was basically patted on the head and told to go away and have a think...
It was not csa but it was still the reporting of abuse to the authorities and ignored.
Then I hear of someone who has just raised an issue of abuse and within 36 hours the police phone the abuser to inform them !!!!!
#WTF
