Sexual abuse of children in British orphanages
Hundreds of children in care in five care centres since the sixth decade of the twentieth century have been the target of sexual abuse and harassment for decades, the BBC reported, citing an investigation by the Lambeth Council in south London. According to the BBC, research on the council began in the summer of 2020 and examined the performance of these centres from the 60s to the 90s of the twentieth century.
According to this independent investigation, 705 charges of sexual abuse have been filed against the staff and relatives of the three orphanages. ” With some exceptions, they [Lambeth Council staff] treated children in care as if they were worthless,” the Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) report said. “Consequently, individuals who posed a risk to children were able to infiltrate children’s homes and foster care, with devastating, life-long consequences for their victims.”
Violence and cruelty against British children
Photographing children during rape is one of the victims’ complaints. The body of a 1977 child was discovered in the bathroom of one of the three orphanages that closed in 1983. The Lambeth council had not informed forensic medicine that the centre’s director had sexually abused the boy. According to the report, the child care centres were ” brutal places where violence and sexual assault were allowed to flourish” and “children under the age of five were exposed to sexual harassment.” The report also criticized London police for failing to follow up on evidence that could have led to the discovery of the crime. Lambeth Council has accepted the recommendations and apologized to the inquiry for creating and overseeing conditions “where appalling and shocking and horrendous abuse was perpetrated”.
According to the report, only one senior employee of these orphanages has been reprimanded in the last 40 years. The Lambeth Council began paying compensation to victims in 2016 and has born £71.5 million (£125.000 per person).
Lack of protection for child victims of sexual harassment in the UK
Due to the lack of protection for child victims of sexual harassment in the UK, it takes an average of 19 years from the time of the first sexual harassment until the victim goes to the authorities for protection. According to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) in the UK, 73% of child sexual abuse victims said they received no protection. They said that after being sexually harassed, they were not treated, not counselled, and any government agencies or charities did not approach them.
Barriers to support victims of sexual harassment
84% of children who were sexually abused said that with at least one obstacle, such as lack of money. Problems in providing services to children who are sexually abused, such as long waits or discomfort caused by hurting someone in the family or community, they faced and could not get support.
An independent study of child sexual abuse in the UK interviewed 181 people who had been sexually abused as children. According to the survey, victims of sexual harassment in the UK have said that the devastating effects of such harassment last for the rest of their lives on various aspects of human life and often harm their family members and spouses.
Child victims of sexual harassment seek ways to receive help and support
They advised that quality services should be easily provided to children who are victims of sexual harassment. Children should be taught ways to report sexual harassment to seek help, counselling, and justice. The study also found that two-fifths (43%) of children who were sexually abused as children still felt that action was needed. According to the study, people who received services after child sexual abuse (27%) were able to contact the responsible organizations and institutions, on average, 19 years after the first sexual abuse.
Network of child sexual abuse in the UK
Sexual abuse of children in the UK continues to be the worst and most destructive, according to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). According to IICSA, child abuse networks are active in all parts of the UK. The report said that child abuse in the UK is finding “new ways” to abuse children and teens on social media. In some cases, in exchange for money, children, including infants, were stripped naked in cyberspace at the request of sexual abusers, children and infants in front of a live camera, according to the IICSA.
British preschoolers at risk of child sexual abuse
The abuse of preschool children is one of the concerns of this country today. According to research conducted by the Times, sexual abuse of children in preschool has become a serious concern of people and officials. Families, parents, education officials and schools have all expressed concern. According to research, there are now around 150,000 children at risk of sexual abuse in the UK.
Fear of kindergarten staff
Half a million children were born in those areas, and 115,735 were referred to social services by last year, meaning researchers could estimate that 150,000 children of that age, or one in five, across England came to the attention of social services before starting primary school. Due to the scandalous experience of child sexual abuse in the UK in 2008, there is a climate of panic among kindergarten staff and the general public.
According to official reports, local organizations and police forces have been unsuccessful in combating individuals and gangs abusing children. Contrary to popular belief in the UK, child sexual abuse has not diminished but has become more covert. The government has not yet addressed the problem, and child sexual abuse in the UK is on the rise.
