Looks like CSE in Rotherham has been going on over 40 years?
Replying to a tweet on Twitter Rotherham Adertiser reporter Adele Forrest tweeted this article which she says is from 1975…
Very grim reading.
So overall CSE has been in Rotherham over years nothing’s changed only got worse, but the perpetrators haven’t…
A question to ask is who knew?
The article again shines a light on what the young girls were portrayed as “Prostitutes” but the young girls age again is ignored.
I have asked Adele to screenshot the article to also show the date.

“Our” Kev was an electrician down the pit at Maltby. Rumour has it that he had a bit of a glass back, and was more interested in getting his political studies funded than making the current flow. He used to make a big thing of his mining past, but can’t get away with it nowadays, as everyone knows that he sold his own down the river during the miner’s strike of 1984. http://www.politics.co.uk/reference/kevin-john-barron

So in 1975 it was already going on.

Possibly why rovrum court services were shut down as not fit for purpose due to the incesturous relationship between some magistrates, police and cllrs???

This incestuous relationship is not entirely shut down, it just relocated and is alive and well in Sheffield.

Simply serves to show just how long they did know what was going on. Yet still claim they did not!

In an era when children were scapegoated in to categories, ‘clean minded’ and ‘foul minded’, and contrastingly dealt with as delinquents.
I’ve placed the next article on here a number of times.
Who knew!
Barnados too, and the children even in 2001 acknowledged as child prostitutes.

RR, I can’t find off the top of my head, how many children were in social care, can guesstimate at present around 50%, either way the following should answer your questions.
As Jay report readings are such, overwhelming were known to services, who have a statutory duty to ensure their safety.

Whether the children were in social care or not the failure is quite clear to see, the majority were known.

4.13 Risk factors for CSE are increasingly well understood. The majority of children whose files we read had multiple reported missing episodes. Addiction and mental health emerged as common themes in the files. Almost 50% of children who were sexually exploited or at risk had misused alcohol or other substances ….

I defy anyone to know what this charity is about especially in Rotherham where it has kept its head down for decades. A significant user of public funds but try and find out what they do and you will come unstuck.

Rothpol, perhaps it might be better if you put up the entire Twitter thread, rather than this “doctored” tweet from within it, even though it is a very interesting one. Just a thought.

Does anyone remember a CSE scandal in the 1970s? Of course, the term CSE wasn’t used back then. My recollection is a bit sketchy but I seem to recall it was called Manor Farm or something like that and as far as I can remember it involved men taking schoolgirls to a place in Wickersley (I think).
