The amnesia surrounding everybody at Richmond Council over the 1982 Elm guest house paedophile scandal is at an end.
A dramatic interview by my colleague Mark Conrad published in Exaro News today ( http://bit.ly/Vesffe) with Terry Earland, the former assistant director in charge of children's services, reveals that he knew that children at Grafton Close children's home were sexually abused at Elm Guest House.
what’s really winding me up now is the MSM’s selective attention on this and related items.
The BBC are covering the Chetham abuse like it’s “real news” but aren’t so much as acknowledging the Elm House abuse.
Seems to suggest that the Chetham abuse is limited only to the school and doesn’t have its tendrils through the rich and powerful of the land.
I was under the impression there was going to be a police news conference but have seen no reporting of this as yet.
I think that Mr.Earland knows a lot more about the abuse.
Once again well done to Exaro – is the BBC adopting a policy of once bitten twice shy (having cocked up big time with McAlpine)? Or is the BBC a craven organisation, a disgrace to journalism?
So, in essence this man is confessing to his being an accessory during and after the facts, to serious physical assaults on minors in concert with others. How can he live with himself?
