An abuse scandal that has triggered revulsion across the country could happen in Cumbria, says the politician responsible for child protection in the county.
The warning comes as details continue to emerge about the horrific and prolonged abuse of 1,400 young children in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
There are growing calls for the professionals who failed to listen to victims including council bosses and South Yorkshires police and crime commissioner to resign.
Reacting today, Councillor Anne Burns, who is politically responsible for childrens services in the county, warned that no area of the country including Cumbria should consider itself immune from the kind of abuse that happened in Rotherham over 16 years.
Yes it could happen here, said Mrs Burns, who spoke as Cumbria continues its efforts to put right failings in the countys child protection service uncovered in two successive Ofsted inspections.
She said: What happened in South Yorkshire could happen absolutely anywhere. It could happen with people that you trust as well. Im under no illusions. We cant be complacent.

But damn those stupid Brits...they are trying to convict us of what is freely offered under Sharia.
Easy meat! Get some before the Brits close it down.
Jimmy Saville hid behind fame. These grooming gangs are hiding behind Islam.
There are going to be trusted people implicated in this before it is over.
There is no way that this could happen without the authorities turning a blind eye. Odds are a few of them, or more, traded that for access to the kids.
This is what happens when people put their faith in governments to take care of them and they don’t take care of themselves.
Sexual slavery has been a part of Islam since the days of Mohammed.
And they are about to be exposed for the beasts they are.
The Shiite is about to hit the fan!
The rabbit hole goes deeper than just some school administrators, I can assure you.
Stay tuned.
