A homosexual foster couple were left free to sexually abuse vulnerable boys in their care because social workers feared being accused of discrimination if they investigated complaints, an inquiry concluded yesterday.
Craig Faunch and Ian Wathey were one of the first homosexual couples in the country to be officially approved as foster parents.
They looked after 18 children in only 15 months.

Thanks M.
It is impossible for homosexuals to be pedophiles, they are the definition of normal.
Fear of being labeled homophobic, racist, and anti-Muslim is effectively paralyzing Merry Olde...
Sick on both sides is the only thing I can come up with.
Some stories deserve to be reposted. Thanks.
I did did hit on a way to attack this issue without being labeled a bigot. Just require that anyone who applies to be a foster parent or to adopt to take a comprehensive std test and turn over their medical records. I think teachers should do the same for that matter. I also think they should have had a clean bill of health on the matter for at least 5 years. I think most people could agree that this is only good for the health and interests of the children. Why this isn’t already the case is puzzling to me.
That alone should have been a huge red flag sent up someone flag pole saying Whoa!
Every one on the fostering panel should resign or incompetence

Steve D, sexual abuse is committed by both heterosexual and homesexual people and is revolting regardless of who the offender is. Let's not make this a gay issue. There are many many successful examples of gay couples fostering and or adopting children who need love and stability. The disgraceful example of 'political correctness' displayed here concerns social workers not doing their job properly, and is not associated with the decision to allow gay couples to adopt or foster.

Adoptive and foster parents are already required to do a comprehensive medical exam in my state. Ours included blood tests and tests for HIV. We are also required to have child abuse criminal background checks. One doesn't walk up to a counter one day and say "I want to be an adoptive/foster parent" and a child is immediately handed over. It's a pretty extensive screening process.
I think it is horrible that such a media farce on the issue is putting so many children at risk. They go on and on about priests but hide the fact of homosexual abuse not only of themselves but also of the children in their care. One of the untold stories of the teacher abuse scandal is that of the homosexual abuse of children. They represent as group more than a third of the cases of abuse while as a group represent only 1-2% of the population. They harp about most abuse being heterosexual and that is true but that is a smoke screen.
Geeze....these pervs must have felt like 7 year olds on Christmas morning every time a new one arrived.
Why not make it easy on yourself, you dipstick, and simply assume that individuals whose entire lives revolve around a perverse sexual identity are unfit to be foster parents?
In England?
Amazing!
LOLOL!!!
Pretty much. It’s really scary over there!!

A revolving door for abuse.
