Gay couple left free to abuse boys - because social workers feared being branded homophobic
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ ^ | September 2007 | By PAUL SIMS

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.

This is an old story that I just happened to run on. I didn't see where it had been posted before.

It is impossible for homosexuals to be pedophiles, they are the definition of normal.

Just by their appearance, I wouldn't let those two watch my mail while I was on vacation. They look defective.

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.

imho, the social workers approved of what these freaks were doing. Since they could not express this, they had to devise this lame excuse. Whether true or not, the social workers should at the minimum be fired and charged with child endangerment or something.

Yesterday's report said that the fostering panel which approved Faunch and Wathey accepted without hesitation their request to look after only boys on the basis that they didn't feel equipped to look after girls.

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

Did you happen to see the one comment by an Apologist? No, don't make it a gay issue, though the brunt of the story is that because of the gay Agenda the caseworkers didn't want to make waves.   

* * *  

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.

"I don't care if you are homosexual or bisexual - if you are taking care of children you need to be vetted and subjected to the same investigation as anyone else."

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?

You mean they're *normal* and they're deemed to be fit to care for kids?

In England?

Amazing!

A revolving door for abuse.
