I bet Panorama have been looking at every youth organisation and will be showing programmes on each one, in turn.
Any youth organisation, from schools to scouts, will attract active child abusers and others who have an unnatural interest in kids. They can only do their best to keep them out. Remember that people wont show up on a list or a PNC check until they have been caught and the days when somebody could be sacked for being "a bit strange" are long gone.
I remember an episode of Panorama from a few years ago. It was a hidden camera report from a bail hostel. The theme was all of the parolees and bailed suspects living in the hostel continued to commit crime so funding the hostel was pointless.
They weren't kidding. A new resident, Frank Parker, moved into the hostel. He was out on parole after doing 39 years for molesting and murdering a 10 year old girl. Almost immediately, he started approaching young girls. The Panorama reporter phoned the police. Nothing changed so he phoned the police again. Nothing.
Finally, Frank was seen entering a house and young girls were subsequently brought to the house. The reporter phoned the police again, told the operator that he was a BBC reporter and that Frank was going to be starring on nationwide TV the following week.
The police were there within 5 minutes. Frank was back in jail the same day and ministers were falling over themselves to "learn lessons". The subsequent Home Office enquiry found that a number of people had not done their jobs and, in particular, the police had not notified the probation service that Parker was associating with young girls, in breach of his parole conditions.
To the best of my knowledge, nobody was sacked for negligently allowing a convicted paedophile and child killer to access young girls. Compare that with the police officer posting on here a while ago who was sacked for using his warrant card to get free rail travel that he wasn't entitled to. Or the detective who was suspended pending dismissal by his Chief Constable for referring to a turban as a "tea cosy" after a police disciplinary tribunal had decided to take no further action.
It seems that the "blind eye" mentality prevailed long before the Rotheram abuse scandal. What's more of a scandal is that dangerous paedos are being released into the community, left to their own devices and the obvious consequences are swept under the carpet unless senior politicians are exposed to personal embarrassment.
