Summary

Introduction;
Over the last 60 years,
paedophiles have been allowed to infiltrate every rung of the ladder
needed to facilitate access to children.
From Residential and Field
Social Workers right up throughout the ranks of Local Councils,
Police, Teachers, Doctors, Politicians and the people behind the
scenes, the ones we all know actually run the show, the Civil Service
and Policy Advisors.
The
1950's and '60's saw the emergence of a widespread sickening trend
within Residential Social Work.
The
systematic abuse of children within the commercial and public
Children's Homes, Approved Schools and Boarding Schools.
In the
1970's and '80's, the pioneering advisor on Residential Childcare and
Social Work was Peter Righton.
Whilst
it was always an unvoiced joke in the “Old Boys Club's” that if
the Master's didn't have you, the Head Boy certainly wouldn't want to
know you, a “jolly good time” at prep school followed by a stint
at Eton before “OxBridge” was considered the norm.
According
to Professor Joy Schaverien, a leading psychotherapist,
“Children
sent away to boarding school can suffer psychological damage akin to
being taken into care.
"Boarding
School Syndrome" can leave adults struggling to form intimate
relationships and unable to communicate emotions after being
traumatised by forced separation from friends and family at a young
age.
Despite
the damage, therapists fail to recognise the significance of boarding
school in their patients' problems because such an education is still
regarded as a character-forming privilege.” (2011)
45 years on and nothing has
changed other than the name. Childcare and Safeguarding Policies are
still being produced by people under suspicion of crimes against
children.
The Government accepting
these policies were, for the most part, tutored by or schooled
alongside paedophiles, leaving them almost immune to the signs of
child exploitation.
The information issued by
Authorities on CSE is misleading at best and our children are still
at risk.
This report is the result of
two years independent study into the spread of Paedophile Information
Exchange throughout the UK Schools, Children's Homes and Governing
Authorities.
The study was conducted by
Karen Gray,

This report could not have
been compiled without the help and intensive information
dissemination and collation of bloggers, journalists, campaigners, survivors and witnesses
everywhere.
Children's
Homes
It
appears to have started in 1965 at Greystone Heath, when a
21-year-old student teacher named Keith Laverack went to work
there and embarked on a campaign of buggery and indecent assault.
Over the ensuing four years, he raped at least 16 boys, three of whom
he shared with his colleague;
Brian
Percival, the clerk and storeman at the home. Once these two men
had established sexual rights over the boys at Greystone, other
abusers joined the staff;
Alan
Langshaw, who raped at least 24 boys;
Dennis
Grain who raped at least 18, joined Greystone Heath from
Danesford children's home in Congleton, where he had already opened
the door to three others, John Clarke, Joseph Smith and Brian Hudson;
Roy
Shuttleworth who raped at least ten;
Terence
Hoskin;
Jack
Bennett who indecently assaulted two;
Steve
Norris who assaulted an unknown number.
The
Greystone abusers then fanned out.
Grain
and Shuttleworth were both promoted to other homes in the
Warrington area;
Terence
Hoskin went on to become headteacher of St Aiden’s Community
Home in Widnes, where he liked to thrash naked boys with a cane,
which he then pushed into their backsides, while his housemaster,
Colin Dick, indecently assaulted those who caught his eye.
Following
a complaint, Dick was accused of indecent assault, but was acquitted;
Hoskin
moved on to become President of NCH – Action for Children by 1980.
Hoskin later wrote a reference for Colin Dick effectively stating he
was no risk to children and a suitable candidate for the position of
Residential Social Worker at a home in Manchester;
In
1981, both Grain and Hoskin were back working together
at homes operated by the Hesley Group Limited, in Doncaster before
Grain then moved on to Eton College;
Steve
Norris went to North Wales where he met up with Peter Howarth.
Howarth
had started out in Kent before moving on to Axwell Park. He was then
recruited by Graville Arnold and moved to Bersham Hall in Wrexham.
Norris and Howarth both went on to Bryn Estyn and met up with Gary
Cooke.
Following
a conviction for abusing boys in Bryn Estyn, Gary Cooke was
then employed by Bryn Alyn Community, where he first worked at
Marton's Camp and then Cotsbrook Hall in Shropshire. He later took
position at a Probation Service run Youth Hostel;
Keith
Laverack
went to childrens’ homes in Cambridgeshire, where he worked with
numerous colleagues, four of whom are now also suspected of abusing
children. He eventually moved on to run the Guardian Ad Litem panel
in Cambridgeshire. This job not only introduced him to the most
vulnerable children in the area but also gave him access to files on
abused children all over the country;
Alan
Langshaw became Principal of St Vincent’s Catholic boys’ home
in Formby where he recruited a care worker named Edward Stanton.
Alan
Langshaw was jailed for 10 years in 1994 for 30 counts of serious
sexual assaults and indecent assaults against boys aged under 16 at
childrens homes in Cheshire and Liverpool. However when the first
accusations were made around 1986 Edwina Currie, the Minister
responsible for the child care system, was asked to intervene. She
stood by Langshaw, who went on to spend another eight years working with and abusing children.
This
is not the first or last time Edwina Currie has shown such poor
judgement in people. When asked about her choice to hand Savile the
keys to Broadmoor she insisted that;
' If
this meant we could break the strike and help the patients,
then
the ends justified the means.'
When
asked about Savile's abuse of the mentally ill inmates she replied;
' If
I'd have known, I would have said
"
Jimmy give me the keys," and it would have stopped.';
Stanton
appears to have got the job at St Vincent's through Roy Shuttleworth,
who was continuing to abuse the boys at Greystone and who is believed
to have known Stanton from their time in Birmingham when they took
the same course in residential child care;
That
course in Birmingham, in turn, is believed to have been lectured by
Peter Righton, a notorious paedophile who attempted to legitimise his
obsession in a series of academic studies.
Righton,
for his part, belonged to the Paedophile Information Exchange, which
wanted the age of consent lowered to four; along with Jack Bennett.
He had also worked in the same children's home in Maidstone, Kent as
Peter Howarth.
A
child care expert and children’s home consultant, Righton published
essays justifying paedophilia, which he called no more mysterious
than “a penchant for redheads”;
Rod
Ryall,
the former Director of Calderdale Social Services, convicted in 1988,
is also thought to have taken the Childcare Course along with Malcolm
Phillips, convicted in 2001 under Operation Screen for abuse spanning
decades at Skircoat Lodge, Halifax.
Ryall,
who sat on several committee's with Righton, began his career at
Newton Aycliffe before moving on to Tennal Assessment Centre in
Birmingham.
When
he was appointed Director of Social Services he had already been
accused of crimes against children twice.
It is
thought, when arrested, he was found in the private flat attached to
Skircoat Lodge Assessment Centre, operated by Malcolm Phillips;
As
head of the Assessment Centre, Malcolm
Phillips
had the final say in which placements were used if a child was to be
sent to another Borough. Under his regime of tyranny, it is believed
that “difficult” children were sent, by Social Services, to only
five external Borough units;
Newton Aycliffe (secure); Market Weighton (boys only); Bryn Estyn (secure; until its closure in the 1980's); Bryn Alyn Community (only sent girls although it accepted both); Macclesfield Young Persons Unit (part of Parkview Mental Hospital; closed in 1992-4) No known complaints were ever filed about abuse at this facility, run by Dr Peter Wells.
At
this point, looking at most of these homes would be subjudice.

Boarding
Schools
School
fees have now reached over £30,000 per year. Compare that to the
£200,000+ spent by some Councils housing just one child in a
private-run Children's Home, where Education is to GCSE level at best
or non existent at worst.
Tonbridge
School, Tonbridge, Kent
Chris
Langham (Actor) cancelled an appearance, in 2012, at a top public
school after parent fury about his child porn conviction.
Winchester
College, Winchester, Hampshire
In
2006, Lucia Quinault, the head of English at Winchester
College, was found in a compromising situation" with one of her
sixth-form pupils. after a celebratory dinner at the school.
It was
the latest in a string of troubles at the 600-year-old school,
including the 2003 arrest of an ex-housemaster over sex abuse
allegations, which were later dropped.
Sevenoaks
School, Kent
Gerd
Sommerhoff was alleged to have displayed pornography or child
pornography to pupils and to have made obscene sexual remarks that
included boasts of bestiality. Sevenoaks School agreed to settle a
compensation claim by another pupil sexually abused by Gerd
Sommerhoff at Sevenoaks School when he was 12 years old. There is
evidence that those who worked with Sommerhoff were aware of and
chose not to report the abuse. He left the School in 1984 and moved
to Trinity College, Cambridge.
Eton
College
This
is one of 50 Schools that fall under the G20 Schools Group. Dennis
Grain moved to Eton College where he became a House Master, this
incidently, was during Prince William's attendance at the School.
Charterhouse
, Goldaming, Surrey
Among
the Alumni for this school is Jonathan King, who went on to
graduate from Trinity College in 1967 with a degree in English
Literature and a penchant for young boys.
In
2012 a pupil was questioned by the police in relation to child
pornography found on a computer.
In
2013, Dr Dean Richardson, teacher at the school for 12 years,
resigned following an “inappropriate relationship with an ex pupil”
Wellington
College , Crowthorne, Berkshire
Bruce
Roth, who taught maths at Wellington college in Crowthorne,
Berkshire, until he was arrested, groomed and performed sex acts on
three boys at the boarding school and two at King's school in
Rochester, Kent, where he taught previously. He worked at Wellington
until his arrest in 2010
Marlborough
College, Marlborough, Wiltshire
Andrew
Richards, house master and Math teacher was found guilty of
downloading indecent images in 2005
Sherborne
School, Dorset
Charles
Napier, P.I.E treasurer, half brother to MP, was known to have
worked at Copthorne Preparatory School. Sherborne being his home
village, where he shared a house with their Mother. In 2012 he had to
resign from the local Theatre group of which he was Director, after
it was discovered he would be working within the School.
Present
enquiries into paedophile cover-ups are likely to examine how Charles
Napier managed to continue teaching even after his first conviction
for indecent assault in 1972. He was banned from teaching in the UK,
but emigrated and by the late 1970s (already an active member of the
Paedophile Information Exchange) was employed at a school in Sweden.
Around
the same time that Napier emigrated, his cousin’s husband –
fellow paedophile Sir Peter Hayman – had returned
from a stint as High Commissioner in Canada to become deputy director
of MI6.
Southbank
International School, London
The
headmaster of an elite London school where the US paedophile William
Vahey abused more than 60 boys
dismissed a complaint about his worrying conduct on a field trip as
“unfair pressure” by “vindictive parents”, an independent
report in to his criminality has revealed.
Vahey drugged teenage boys with sedatives secreted in Oreo cookies
and soft drinks while on school trips to places such as Jordan, Nepal
and India as recently 2013.In less than
four years he went on 17 school trips and set up his own travel club.
He offered to look after the “ill” children he had dosed, moving
them to different rooms and abusing them. His career includes:
The Tehran American School in Iran from 1972-73 The American Community School of Beirut in Lebanon, 1973-75 The American School of Madrid in Spain, 1975-76 The Passargad School in Ahwaz, Iran, 1976-78 The American Community School in Athens, Greece, 1978-80 The Saudi Aramco Schools in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, 1980-92 The Jakarta International School in Indonesia, 1992-2002 The Escuela Campo Alegre in Caracas, Venezuela, 2002-09 The Southbank International School in London, 2009-2013
Then we have the likes of Colet Court which feeds into St Paul's, both owned by the Worshipful Company of Mercers.
Playing
host to a number of paedophiles over the years, both faculty and
alumni feature in “those you don't ask to babysit.” They include;
Anthony
Fuggle, 2012
Keith
Perry, 1970's-2011
Greville
Janner
Patrick
Marshall
Alan
Doggett, 1968
They
also, incidently, own St Paul's Girls School, built next to the
original grounds of St Paul's in 1904. Over the years, various
politicians have passed through the halls of the Girls School,
Students
such as;
Jane Bonham Carter - Liberal Democrat peer Harriet Harman - Labour MP, Deputy Leader of the Labour Party and former Cabinet minister, former member of NCCL Susan Kramer – former Liberal Democrat MP Jo Valentine, Baroness Valentine – member of the British House of Lords Mavis Tate – Conservative MP and women's rights campaigner Shirley Williams – former Labour Education Secretary and co-founder of the Social Democratic Party Eirene White, Baroness White – Labour Minister of State then life peer
As Colet
Court is boys only, Bute House Preparatory School, another owned by
the Worshipful Company of Mercers, is the main feeder to St Paul's
Girls.
The
Mercers have interests in a number of other schools;
Police
Investigations
Operation
Pallial, established in 2012 to re-investigate crimes against
children in over a dozen homes across North Wales, along with the
Macur Review, to assess if Sir Ronald Waterhouse “did his job
adequately” were both severely restricted with their remit alone.
North
Wales.
“No
Children's Home, connection or lead that goes beyond the geographical
boundary of North Wales is to be investigated.” was Pallial's
response to me when I tried to highlight the specific characteristics
shared (blonde haired, blue eyed, 12-15 yrs old) by each known girl
sent from Calderdale to Bryn Alyn Community.
The
same response (almost word for word) came back from the Macur Review.
Marton's
Camp and Cotsbrook Hall in Shropshire;

Inverness Terrace in Bayswater;
Why a
former Director of Bryn Alyn Community still owns Bryn Alyn Hall,
despite all property supposedly sold off to cover compensation and
costs in 2000;
The
fact 5 abusers from North Wales were allowed to go off and work at
another home in Shropshire;
and in
the case of Norman Wainwright, become a Director on the Board of
several Childcare Companies including Keys Childcare, part of Care UK
PLC, which recently bought the Southern section of the Hesley Hall
Limited (Doncaster) homes;
The
similar characteristics of the children sent, to Bryn Alyn, from
certain areas;
None
of these facts are to be investigated by Operation Pallial or
considered by the Macur Review.
Survivor
Support
The
one thing survivors were promised in 2012 was support. That support
has not been forthcoming.
There
are tales of key witnesses being left to make their own way to
Sentencing. A key factor in the journey toward acceptance of events
and a certain level of Closure.
People
two years after being promised counselling are still waiting for it
to start, or are being told to fund it themselves.
The
police are very unapproachable, for the most part. Unwilling to push
the boundaries of their remit or explore the truth of what they are
supposed to investigate.
When
asked if she had read the Waterhouse Report, one DC sent out to
survivors homes under Operation Pallial said; “Of course not, have
you Seen the Size of it?”
Paedophile
Information Exchange
P.I.E
were helped with funding from the Government through The Albany
Trust, established by Antony Grey as part of his campaign for
homosexual rights. Grey also sat on the committee's for British
Association for Counselling, NCCL (Liberty) and Campaign Against
Censorship.
The
two organisations first became connected when Ian Campbell Dunn, the
Scottish minster who first helped create P.I.E, contacted Grey in
relation to establishing a Scottish branch of Homosexual Law Reform
Society.
PIE
did not present themselves as child abusers but “child lovers”,
keen to “liberate” children from sexual “repression”. Their
literature hijacked the language of liberation to persuade gay men
and women, feminists and radicals that they had common interests in
challenging “the patriarchy”.
It
wasn’t until Customs officers intercepted child pornography posted
to Righton from Holland, in 1992, that police raided his home and
found hundreds of letters between Righton and other paedophiles,
revealing he had abused, prostituted and shared numerous boys.
His correspondents included an assistant bishop, artists, aristocrats and public school teachers.
His correspondents included an assistant bishop, artists, aristocrats and public school teachers.
It
then emerged that Righton’s lover ran a school for emotionally
disturbed children, and Righton was vice-chairman of governors. New
Barns School in Gloucestershire, which was atteneded by many children
from London care homes, was investigated and closed down on child
welfare grounds.
P.I.E
was estimated to have over 1000 members at its peak.
They
ranged from fairground workers and road sweepers right up to
politicians and MoD.
Lord
Fulford openly backed them.
They
forged connections in every walk of life within every Country thought
exploitable;
Thailand,
Charles
Napier moved here after a conviction in the UK meant he could not
work with children here. Nicholas Rabet and Gary Glitter
were also drawn to the land known for child prostitution and sex
tourism;
Philippines,
Charles
Napier again features here, child prostitution and sex tourism;
Canada,
through
child exports in guise of evacuation and Peter Hayman, who
went on to head Mi6, and more recently under Operation Spade, the
global investigation into Azov Films
Australia,
In
1912, Kingsley Fairbridge and his wife emigrated to South West
Australia and opened the Fairbridge Farm School. 1913-1982 saw 3,580
children pass through their hands under the guise of evacuee's and
underprivileged children. It also served as a layover point for
returning Dutch children evacuated to Indonesia. Such migration
schemes are
now also recognised as the history of the Stolen Children;
Australia
The
exact number of child migrants to Australia is not known, but
estimates suggest that, from 1947 to 1967, between 7000 and 10,000
children were sent to Australia. A feature of the scheme was the care
of children in residential institutions rather than by foster care or
adoption. Most were placed in the care of Barnardo's, the Fairbridge
Society, the Church of England and the Christian Brothers. The House
of Commons Health Committee concluded that 'children were placed in
large, often isolated institutions and were often subjected to harsh,
sometimes intentionally brutal, regimes of work and discipline,
unmodified by any real nurturing or encouragement. The institutions
were inadequately supervised, monitored and inspected'.
In
2009, the Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd, apologised on
behalf of the government for the harm done to all those who had been
abused in care, including child migrants.
Canada
Barnardo's
(Dr Barnardo's)
Barnardo's was involved in migrating 30,000 children and young people to Canada between 1882 and 1939. This agency sent around 2784 children and young people to Australia between 1921 and 1967.Children's Friends Society
As many as 230 children arrived in Canada through the auspices of the Children's Friends Society.National Children's Home (NCH - Action for Children) - formerly National Children's Home and Orphanage
Records show that between 1873 - 1931, a total of 3,600 children migrated to Canada from Britain through the National Children's Homes and Orphanages child migration scheme.Fegan's Child and Family Care - formerly Fegan's Homes
Around 3,166 boys were migrated to Canada between 1884 to 1938.Quarriers - formerly the Orphan Homes of Scotland and Quarriers Homes
Around 7,000 children were sent to Canada between 1869 and 1939.

In
the guise of relief work and education;
Netherlands,
Needed
no guise. The seedy underbelly of the dutch sexual depravity was the
prime market in the early years. The former Queen
Beatrix
was a widely known paedophile enabler whilst her husband, Prince
Bernhard
was a regular at parties thrown by Marc
Dutroux
and Michel
Nihoul.
It also saw the emergence of IPCE,
International
Paedophile Child Emancipation
“to
promote 'scholarly discussion' with the aim of changing legislation
to decriminalise aspects of child abuse.”
Thomas O'Carroll
was instrumental in the establishment of this group and is still an
active member today. 61-year-old O'Carroll,
an out of work journalist who once worked alongside David Icke, and
67-year-old Michael
John De Clare Studdert,
a retired Anglican minister, were arrested in January 2006 after the
Met's Paedophile Unit conducted a series of co-ordinated searches and
arrests. Both were known members of P.I.E
Russia,
Jimmy
Savile had ties here, as did
Chris Denning. It
also provided access to the KGB
blackmail squad known as Zandvoort,
of which the notorious paedophile Marc Dutroux
was a member, Mi5 double
agent Geoffrey Prime
also had links with this group.
Belgium,
Provided
somewhere for the paedophile “middle men” somewhere to hide when
Authorities caught up with them in the Netherlands from UK or USA,
seeking extradition. It also provided alternate access to the KGB
blackmail squad Zandvoort. Marc Dutroux was prominent
as was John Stamford, founder
of Spartacus who
became a P.I.E member.
Spartacus
were known to have “an arrangement” with Elm Guest
House.
It
also saw the emergence of CRIES.
One notable member being Jos Verbeek,
the Belgian president of UNICEF who's office was next door in the
same building.
In
February 1986, Dutroux
and his girlfriend Michelle
Martin
were arrested for abducting and raping
five
young girls. In April 1989, Dutroux
was sentenced to thirteen and a half years in prison. Martin
received a sentence of five years. Showing good behaviour in prison,
Dutroux
was released on parole
in
April 1992, having served only three years, by Justice
Minister Melchior
Wathelet.
Upon his release the parole board received a letter from Dutroux's
own mother to the prison director, in which she stressed concern that
he was keeping young girls captive in his house – which was
essentially ignored.
Following
his release from prison, Dutroux
convinced a psychiatrist
that
he was psychiatrically disabled,
resulting in a government pension.
He
was again arrested in 1996 and convicted in 2004 after several more
girls were kidnapped, filmed whilst being raped, beaten and in some
instances killed,
A
17-month investigation by a parliamentary commission into the Dutroux
affair produced a report in February 1998, which concluded that while
Dutroux did not have accomplices in high positions in the police and
justice systems, as he continued to claim, he profited from
corruption,
sloppiness and incompetence.
Greece

yet another destination of Napier, Vahey and
Dr Peter Kedney, the
GP/Medical Officer for Bryn Alyn Community

The
list goes on....
As
the members of P.I.E spread out, their contact grew. New
networks began linking in. Some of them operated by John Stamford
who went on to be involved in not only Spartacus and P.I.E
but also Toro Bravo, PAN and CRIES
P.I.E
member Roger Lawrence, who fled to Holland in the early 1980s
and joined Spartacus, around the same time as ex-P.I.E
leader Steven Smith. Lawrence, used several aliases,
and was arrested in his car at Dover in 1987 with notorious Swiss
paedophile and sadist Beat Meier. The car was searched, and
along with a large collection of child abuse films and magazines, the
police found a three year old boy hidden under a blanket. The boy was
called Dimitri Thevenin, and had been kidnapped from his parents’
house in Paris. Unbelievably, Roger Lawrence wasn’t charged
and was allowed to go free.
Police
found that Meier was wanted for sex offences against children
in Switzerland, France, Holland and England. “The English charge
sheet revealed he had buggered a young boy in the Huddersfield area”.
Beat Meier was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court in January 1988
and received just 18 months, the minimum sentence possible. Judge
Raymond Dean QC explained that Meier would be deported to
Switzerland as soon as possible, police in Zurich had already taken
out a warrant for his arrest for alleged offences against twelve boys
and one baby.
Beat
Meier’s name also came up during the Marc Dutroux case
in Belgium, as did the name of Spartacus boss John D.
Stamford.

Summary
Commercialised
care of our children has to end.
Fostering
needs closer vetting.
Schools
need to be more closely monitored, Head Masters should not be left in
place for the sake of them having “always been there, part of the
institution.”
Homes
should not be about profit margins, they are supposed to be about
Care.
CRB
checks should be carried out and any staff that were in position
during a period of abuse should be open to scrutiny.
There
are literally thousands of victims that have come forward over the
past half century, to allege crimes against an estimated 1.1million
child abusers in or from the UK. Viewed on a global scale, we face a
plague of pandemic proportions.

Gerd Sommerhoff OBE was a technology teacher who worked for the BBC and then at Sevenoaks School in Kent.
