Massive file on this. Imposition of a points or marks system. Continued use of expletives by staff. Violent restraint. The use by staff of young people to perform menial tasks for them such as; washing their cars, brass cleaning, ironing of personal laundry. They were told they could earn extra money of 52 pence which was then eroded to nothing by staff. They found this routine to earn extra income exploitative and intimidating. The banishment of one young person to eat meals in the animal shed, to sleep in a caravan, to sleep on a mattress on the landing. The irregular supply of clean and inadequate-sized towels for washing and bathing. Insufficient heating during the winter months. Limiting drinks of water, tea, coffee to 5 a day. Second hand clothing including underwear given to residents, no new clothes whatsoever. Used underwear having to be left in a bucket of disinfectant each night, found to humiliate residents especially at weekends when it wouldn't get washed. Showers not working one week and staff catered for but residents humiliated by having to do a stand up wash. Enforced viewing of early TV news as homework found to be unsatisfying and unhelpful. Staff opened personal mail and monitored personal phone calls. Occasionally personal calls were allowed but only by a phone box in the village. Forced to take part in games or marked down as unsocialable. Young people allowed 5 mins privacy in their rooms after which they are brought back down by a member of staff. Young people say they are allowed outside for ten minutes a day. No laughing permitted as this leads to marking down. Young people are only allowed a bedside lamp once they reach the age of 15 yrs. One resident given no support whilst pregnant and following a subsequent abortion. One resident had her hamster confiscated and never given back. One resident told she was selfish for wanting to find her father and that her mother didn't want her anyway. During a visit by the fire Inspector the residents were told to run upstairs and close all the fire doors which were usually left open. All young people complained they were not given sufficient food. Some of the Young People; Vicky B, Sarah Mc K, Lisa C, John B and more no names yet.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Michael D-Dison Hall-14 yrs old-Violently restrained. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Tony Mc G-11yrs old-Secure-Dison Hall <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Gary D-Dison Hall-15 yrs old-member of staff head butted him in the secure unit. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Foad - 15 yrs old- violently restrained told ghost stories. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Derwent-11 yrs old girl.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Julie B-Abused by Mr B 3 times a week till she stopped screaming-Oxford professional telling us Feb-June 1992-Rope burns + bruises + anal agony due to massive penetration over a long period.

Complicated abuse background. A bit crazy now in a strange way.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Darren B-Cleobury Mortimer School- Abused by two male staff for years. 6 other boys have reported abuse.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Vincent S. 10 yrs old at the time. Grafton Children's Home-Child porn Videos. Many other children involved. They would sit in the children's home in their dressing gowns when one by one they would be called to the top floor, first floor, emergency room, to have medicals. In there was a cot, weighing scales, seleotape, masking tape, cameras', Polaroid's. This went on every night for about 2 months. There were six boys but he would never touch the girls. Then we would go to a house in Sea Road , Bexhill. There was a sea Road and he used to drive up the hill. He had an Alsatian dog that sat in the back of his car. 1979-1981. Another House was next to the church in Bexhill. Another place they took Vincent was Elm guest House, Barnes. Two guys took him into a room and there were video machines and everything in there. He said Vincent was going to have a medical. He masturbated him and made him have oral sex with him, whilst he wiped baby oil all over him, tied him with the seleotape around his legs and arms and around his neck. Arms were behind his back and nice twice. This lasted about an hour. The man then exchanged money with Vincent's carer and the carer then took Vincent back to the home. If the carer made a command Vincent would jump to it as he was very scared. The medicals started again for another couple of months but got worse and worse as they seemed to get excited when they ripped the seleotape off. The home had frequent guests. One Christmas some Chinese people arrived so no abuse took place. The girls got perfumes the boys got tonnes of underwear, the reason being that they were always ruined as they were ripped off all the time. About 3-4 months later Vincent was taken to the guest house again. This time two men had sex with each other and then tied Vincent to the bed and filmed. They were also watching a video of scouts. When he left the guest hse he saw them remove big boxes & cases, one silver case. Vincent was nearly 12 yrs old by then. Vincent and Peter broke into the staff's bedroom one day and a silent alarm went to the police station so the police turned up. They had turned the place upside down but found nothing. The police told them to get out, saying they could be prosecuted. The cleaner came in to tidy and found photos and videos of young people behind the cushions. The police were called back but the staff disappeared. Vincent never saw that staff again but was told he got six years. Then he found in 1990 that he pleaded guilty and got 3 months probation and then went back to working with children. In 1990 we were helping the owner of Elm Guest House to put a case together of possible abuse going on in her guest hse without her knowledge. 3 months before the trial at court, she being the chief witness with all the evidence of who was in and out of her establishment including prominent people, with photographs of them, was found dead in suspicious circumstances. I met Vincent co-incidentally, at Madame Jo-Jo's; we both said at the same time, they murdered her.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Terry C, sexually abused by officer in charge of Yarwood Road .<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • John T-adopted against his will-access to natural family messed about with lies told to stop access-natural mother died-John 12-13 yrs old wants something done about the whole case.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Sharlene E-Lancashire-Abused in the care system-we investigated- Sharlene now dead, went to funeral.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • Robert C –Barnet SSD- Abused in psychiatric units- Suicide-went to funeral. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • D M- believed to have been infiltrated by Nottingham child abuse gang after we exposed them on Channel 4, when she was 16 yrs old, now has two children by this older man, who has full custody of the children, we cannot prove he is abusing them but hold suspicion. Need to pay a top surveillance team or set up a specialist private detective agency. Police are not careful or useful in these matters nor the social services and big charities even though we've told them our suspicions, the older man looks cleaner than clean and DM looks like she abandoned them when she walked out once she had saved £20,000 & bought herself a house and took him to court to gain full custody, he had a female top legal team from London and won on grounds of stability for the children staying at there home. The mother has access twice a week. She is more aware now of what possibly happened as she was very young then. The older man controls the children and gives DM a lot of unrelenting hassle. He took her to court for half her house but she won and he now wants to get passports for the children but luckily needs her permission to do so, she is refusing. Now he is scaring the children and alienating them from seeing there mother, who knows with what threats, they now say they don't want to see her, its a nightmare. The system has shit in its eyes. This is not uncommon. We have told all the relevant authorities and they can do nothing! It would sound mad to suggest infiltration or would it? But those kids are scared of him. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> • We have the names of the abusers and the abused but it is folly to hand them over to the police potentially putting our ex-clients in danger as well as not having permission to do so. We have our new way of dealing with this and when we are successfully back in business with all our workers ( we won't come back by half's as we could be ripped apart) then we can deal with these cases historically and the abuses that are going on now. WE WILL have systems to bust up abuse and they will not be hi-lighted on this website. We need our own security as these abusers are dangerous as we have experienced first hand. These cases were given to us in strict confidence and are protected by the data protection act which is why the names are obsurced. If young people have chosen to contact the police on these matters then that was their choice, we know most of them did and yet were not listened to. They did choose to contact us because we were young people running our own organisation who had been through the care system. Our experience in the field of children's issues History <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> N.A.Y.P.I.C. is the consumer-led organization first set up in 1979 until 1993 when funding came to a halt. This being at a time when we were exposing atrocities such as:<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Langton house (American Medical International private care hospital for children) psychiatric hospital, which we had closed down making News at 10 and costing AMI 8 Million Pounds.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'Pin Down' which prompted a public enquiry<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Nottingham ritual abuse case that we helped work on with, Channel 4 Dispatches.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Melanie Klein House secure unit Greenwich which we had closed down<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Carol Cazier (who died mysteriously during our investigation and shortly before the court case, which was about to reveal influential people's involvement) case dating back to 1973, which made front page news in the Daily Express back then.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Our child pornography and snuff movies exposure, which made front page in the Times newspaper.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Bromley privatization of children's homes (selling children with the homes), which we took to the hight court , the council narrowly escaping paying £600,000 if we won, however the director of social services and the chair of SSD both being arrested and put in the cells for taking bribes and countless more exposures which we are well documented on exposing We created a tide of justice for children with abusers certainly knowing where it was being exposed from and had as a result many enemies in the midst.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We will no longer put our workers in danger our our organization in jeopardy by doing casework. There is evidence to suggest that workers felt they were being observed and threatened. The subject of child porn rings attracted a lot of attention before NAYPIC's closure (two other well known for exposing abuse organizations also had their government funding withdrawn) and some evidence suggests that well known personalities were involved.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Children and young people need better protection than merely exposure, they need a really powerful voice that will be listened to in order to attempt to actually stop the abuse.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We are now back. We would like to extend our agenda further now by advocatong a youth parliament for all young people as a voice, regardless of having been abused, to have broader representation. Our organization is exclusively consumer-led and as such, we have already for many years identified the need for representation.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Our last conference in 1993 which had 1100 members attend, as well as our 9 full-time workers stated that a full membership and the advocating of a youth parliament was the future. Was this too powerful considering the old style way we used to work as within a few months we were gone!<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Each year we hold a national conference to get our opinions. We were the first organization to advocate a Youth Parliament, as we knew the need for it.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We would like to make it clear, we are not housed by another organization, nor are we adult-led like all the organizations that do in some way empower young people.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>QUOTE<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Empowerment is identified in the dictionary as a gift and although good it is not a right <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We are and always have been through many of our strife's, a truly youth-led organization, blatantly the original and only, National Association of Young People In Care.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As such we already have a wealth of knowledge, publications, videos, a twenty seven year-old filing system with computers included, information and experience and when funded a very powerful nationally implemented Structure and National Executive Committee.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Research<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There are countless reasons we, as NN/YP are needed. The original N.A.Y.P.I.C. over the years has campaigned relentlessly for young people to be consulted by the policy makers. They are after all the consumers of the service and decisions made about their care, have far reaching effects on young peoples lives.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> QUOTE<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We maintain that no person should be expected to live their lives within a system that they have not participated in building. Adults at least have the right to vote.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NN/YP is a unique organization in this country, it is not a professionally-led organization, it has not developed theoretical practice to identify the psychological and sociological influences which may determine the way in which young people should be cared for. It is simply an organization, which has developed its constitution and policies by listening to its members.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The original N.A.Y.P.I.C. has successfully campaigned and made significant impact on the way young people are now heard. Our successful campaigns include: <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Participation in reviews The abolition of the clothing order book Access to files <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>In 1983, the original N.A.Y.P.I.C. submitted evidence to the House of Commons, social services select committee. The committee later said to a community care journalist, "we've been amazed at the resiliences, in the face of the experiences that have had to go through. Their maturity has surprised many members". <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The original N.A.Y.P.I.C.'s 40-page report, with its concluding children's charter was: methodical comprehensive representative of an increasing number of children in care who are becoming vocal in expressing their views <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NN/YP also sets out to help social workers and other adults to gain a better understanding of young people's experiences in care and we aim to give young people an opportunity to meet and make new friends. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The organizations' first campaign, to ban the clothing order book received backing from the Association of Directors of Social Services, the Residential Care Association and the British Association of Social Workers.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Our second campaign, the rights of young people to attend reviews and case conferences, was launched with some 3,000 questionnaires to young people in different situations and was supported by a parallel survey by the N.F.C.A.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The original N.A.Y.P.I.C. has achieved recognition in the field of child care policy has been supported by the A.D.S.S., the S.C.A, the National Children's Bureau, the National Council of Voluntary Organizations, the National Foster Care Association, Community Service Volunteers and many others.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The original N.A.Y.P.I.C. was also endorsed in the 1984 Select Committee enquiry into Childcare and gave evidence to the Barclay Committee.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The original N.A.Y.P.I.C. gave evidence to the Stafforshire 'pin down' inquiry and also the government review into residential childcare, headed by Sir William Utting.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'ABUSE IN THE CARE SYSTEM AND DENIAL OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD', quotes from the publication.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In 1990 we conducted a survey of abuse in the care system, which was adopted by the N.S.P.C.C. who promoted our findings. The research was based on interviews with fifty young people who came to our offices within a space of 3 months. The findings in our research were staggering, with 65% of all young people interviewed having been sexually abused whilst in care and 75% of young people interviewed having been physically abused during their time in care. Very few of the young people interviewed were believed when they had complained. Most had not complained because they either did not think they would be believed or were too frightened to complain. Even when young people were believed, the police were seldom involved, prosecutions were rare and even disciplinary action was rarely taken.

It is of great concern to us that within this Billions of pounds industry there is still no place for the child's voice. There have been over the last 30 yrs, more than 60 different official inquiries into bad child care practice, the collective conclusions have not yet been put into practice. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It has been established that 48% of young people living on the streets have at some time in their lives been through the care process. These statistics are very worrying especially when looking at the growth of child prostitution and of child pornography.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Children in care are running away from situations they cannot face or have not the power to do anything about. Many young people in care have pointed out to the original N.A.Y.P.I.C. that "at least on the streets we have our freedom" even though they then speak of the appalling lengths they have had to go to, to survive. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The majority of young people that go into care are victims of abuse, either by parents or by society at large. The care system does not offer choices to these young people as to how they would like to be cared for nor does it adequately assess a young persons needs. Instead children and young people are fitting into whatever part of the system has a vacancy available; This type of care can feel like a lottery to children and young people.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Many problems of the care system are linked to resources, however there is little point in having a Children Act when often there is not the money to implement most parts of it properly. There are many other factors that are inadequate presently, that would take little if any money at all to change, just some enlightened imaginations.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For example, setting up proper channels of communication between professionals in childcare, decison-makers and the consumers themselves. This would be part of an essential ingredient towards change for the better. NN / YP believes this could easily be achieved by the setting up of local groups in every local authority and smaller NN / YP consumer groups in each care establishment.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Whether it is a foster home, children's home, community home of education, secure unit or psychiatric hospital, it is not an unattainable goal.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When you think that there are only an average of 150,000 in care, and 4,000 care leavers a year. Enough to just fill Trafalgar Square.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We need this change and this representation, to be looked after properly, is not impossible. It is just a natural progression in a developing and more aware society.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A local authority pays anything up to £4,000 per week for a child or young person's accommodation in care. Surely a minute percentage of this money can be put aside once a week to provide a private place for children and young people to meet. Either. this can be at their home or at their local group. They can meet and discuss any problems they have or any changes they wish to make regarding their care.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If this was developed in every local authority children and young people would at least have a place they could speak out and save themselves and others in the future from potential abuses.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If local authorities agreed to pay a membership fee for their young people to join the NN / YP local group, then the local group could also run independently of social services.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When one considers the amount spent on childcare, a small membership fee that ensures young people receive information on their rights and a group that belongs to them is nothing in comparison.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The local groups could also participate in the training of social workers enabling them to understand the care system from the consumers' perspective.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The groups could have a commercial side which could also help young people do training for work even if it is simply helping out in the local groups café as a volunteer.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The local group could actively take part in consultations with their local authorities when the authority wishes to make changes in the ways they run their services for children.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NN / YP groups can help a very vulnerable section of society too, care leavers.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Through NN / YP local groups we would allow young people to express themselves in a safe group that belonged to them.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Powerlessness is about lack of information, lack of knowledge but most importantly lack of rights.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We must identify the fact that there has always been a crisis within Britain's childcare system.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> How the Youth Parliament would work The youth parliament will liaise with government by using voting methods, similar to that of the houses of parliament. It will also have select committees to write reports and research on important matters identified by young people. This will in turn go through the current parliamentary process. Perhaps if successful and like most bills if it doesn't cost too much money, we can create changes in law. NN / YP will always hold National Annual General Meetings to be informed by their members, regarding any changes to our plans to date of membership etc and to address the needs we have already identified. <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Although we were closed down these issues did not go away.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It would be good if NN/YP was revived and a Youth Parliament Budget put in place by law, with a million pounds per year going into 12 regions of the UK, to represent the 12 UK Youth.<<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kind Regards <<<<<<<<<<<<<.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mary Moss
