Do you think you are beyond being shocked? I thought I was too, but I’ve just been reading about the “Kentler Project” . For 30 years the authorities in West Berlin intentionally placed homeless children in the care of known paedophiles. Details are re-emerging in the wake of publicity about an enormous police operation getting underway in Germany, perhaps involving up to 30,000 people drawn from German-speaking communities.
I’m not sure the UK’s IICSA Enquiry or the 1997 blockbuster “People Like Us” by Sir William Utting ( which, among other things, looked at how poor management systems had allowed paedophiles to infiltrate children’s homes), can match anything like Kentler but that is not saying much as the Rotherham, Rochdale and other cases remind us.
