What can one say?

How many times have we heard things like 'a "rigorous overhaul" of children's services was needed ', or 'staff failed to act on suspicions for fear of being seen to be discriminatory'?

The people who took the decision to place children with these abusers should be held responsible as well. No excuses.

[Old Greg]

The story is newsworthy as both a crime and a failure of public service. It bothers me if people will use this as justification for preventing children from being fostered / adopted by gay couples.

It is sensationalised because it is designed to get the reaction of "see I told you it wasnt a good idea to let poofs adopt".

But you wouldnt understand that would you.

Read the article again. It's whole premise is that abuse took place, and the Authorities failed in a truly alarming way. That's it. It doesn't look like "see I told you it wasnt a good idea to let poofs adopt" to me.

By the way, there's an apostrophe in "wasn't". But you wouldn't understand that, would you?

It's - "It's" is a contraction. It is short for "it is"

I was quoting you and you missed it when you thought it.

BTW. I often find picking up on spelling and grammar adds weight to my argument on a serious subject.

The main thrust of that story is that the problems arose because it was 2 men who had adopted.

No, it wasn't! It was that the Authorities got it sooooo wrong... again.

I'd have thought that the main point was that for reasons of PC, this magnificent pair weren't vetted properly.

To prevent the scream of "homophobia" ...
