Meanwhile, British girls trafficked for sexual exploitation in 2011 made up nearly one half of all UK slavery victims, according to the study. One incident reportedly involved a girl who was raped by 90 men in the course of one weekend.
“We have allowed human beings in the UK to be bought and sold as mere commodities for profit, gain or gratification. How on earth have we arrived at a place where there is no ambition or leadership to stamp out this appalling crime?” CEO of anti-human-trafficking charity Unseen, Andrew Wallis, who also worked on the report, said.
More reasons why there should not be forced adoptions! Since the authorities have no idea where these children end up, how can they possibly say there are safeguarding them! The very reason they were taken from their families!
But they shouldn’t be taking them in the first place and they can’t keep them safe once taken into care! Abuses are so much worse than if they had left them alone!

NCCPR long has argued that many children now trapped in foster care would be far better off if they had remained with their own families and those families had been given the right kinds of help.
Turns out that’s not quite right.
In fact, many children now trapped in foster care would be far better off if they remained with their own families even if those families got only the typical help (which tends to be little help, wrong help, or no help) commonly offered by child welfare agencies.
That’s the message from the largest studies ever undertaken to compare the impact on children of foster care versus keeping comparably maltreated children with their own families.
So if Edward Timpson wants the BEST for the CHILDREN then he should take a look at the LARGEST EVER STUDY ever done involving 38,000 CHILDREN and begin to implement it!

Invading Parental Rights, Scotland Moves to Assign Social Worker to Every Child
Almost 8,000 children have been singled out for “targeted intervention” as part of a pilot for the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) controversial state guardian proposals, a Scottish newspaper has revealed.
The plans to assign every youngster a state-employed named person—whom a top lawyer says could “cut across” the rights of parents—are being voted on for the final time later today in Holyrood.
The scheme has been trialed in the Highlands since 2010, and a council spokeswoman says 7,927 children have been given a “child’s plan” by a head teacher or health visitor.
Before the trial began, there were just 64 children on the child protection at-risk register in the whole Highland council area.
Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, says the figures from the Highlands suggest that “thousands of families are having their privacy interfered with on a daily basis.”
He says this “staggering” number should force the SNP to “abandon this increasingly authoritarian policy.”
The Christian Institute is campaigning against the SNP’s plans, which come under the Children and Young People (Scotland) Bill.
The charity has written to senior law officers in Edinburgh and London, urging them to refer the matter to the U.K. Supreme Court to decide whether it is legal for the Scottish Parliament to enact this bill.
Colin Hart, director of The Christian Institute, says, “Senior politicians and the law officers have the powers to act as and when required. It is clear that this bill breaches European rules through its attack on the family.
“It is nothing less than a state-sponsored, fundamental attack on ordinary parents and their rights to raise their children.”
The Christian Institute received a legal opinion from leading human rights lawyer Aidan O’Neill, which said the scheme would have powers that “cut across” the rights of their parents.
O’Neill warned that the plans may not be compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights, which says the state should respect “private and family life.”
Tory member of the Scottish Parliament Liz Smith opposes the state guardian proposals and will attempt to introduce an opt-out clause for parents who do not want their child to have a named person when the bill is debated and voted on in Holyrood later today.
Writing in the Scottish Daily Mail, she said the plan “threatens to take much-needed resources away from our most vulnerable children.”
The Church of Scotland has also warned that the named-person scheme “diminishes the role of parents,” while the Evangelical Alliance in Scotland says the plans raise “serious concerns about the role of the state in modern Scotland.”
But the heads of 13 children’s charities have told ministers they “strongly support” the principle, saying it puts into legislation the practice of a “more joined-up approach” that is already being rolled out across Scotland.

Judge’s orders force 2 children away from mum on Christmas Day to a father who walked out on them 11 years ago but they are now back home! The kids voted with their feet! 2 social workers agreed they should be back home which although it was the right decision, it also proves the power of social workers! The Judge will rubberstamp their decision, what else can she do?
