Awful. The mother is not acting in the best interests of her children. The children are leading a very dysfunctional life because of their mothers choices.

There was something simlilar in Tas. Father (who was an abuser) got access to have his daughters stay overnight (limited no. of nights). The judge said they should have a lock on the door.. can't remember the exact details.

Yes.

how any authority could accept locking up children as a "solution" is incredible.

So many things are wrong about this...

Did I miss something, or is it common knowledge that paedophiles only 'strike' (for want of another word) at night?

What kind of mother puts her childrens safety last?

What if the mother was drugged, so that the paedophile could get access to the girls?

What happens if the girls want to have a sleepover?

What if there was a fire?

So many random Qs...

Nah- this is just wrong. If I were the grandmother, I would be petitioning the court for the girls.

It is unbelievable because of the source most likely.

I don't know if it's true or not but some of the English "newspapers" are not like ours. They are more like a newspaper type version of New Idea. They are just rags.

I certainly hope this story isn't true.

Nah, she's not fit to be caring for the children if she'd rather spend time with a child molester than be single. The children would be better off with the father or grandparents.

The original article states which council body approved it. It looks, unfortunately, genuine.

The grandmother approached the Mirror (granted, not a top quality publication, but it names the relevant authorities involved in the decision).

Plain mundane truth is mostly too boring, would not sell the papers, so everything gets spiced up, some little bit, some such a way it has hardly anything to do with the original story. And people just lap it up.

so what the grandmother said is not

true?

Details of the decision emerged after the children’s worried grandmother contacted the Sunday Mirror over her fears for their safety. She said: “The alarm and the other so-called precautions to stop my granddaughters being abused are a load of rubbish.

“Since learning my daughter’s new husband was a paedophile I’ve tried to express my concerns to social services.

“I’m appalled this man was allowed to move into the family home with my granddaughters. Other family members also feel their concerns are being ignored.

“It feels like my granddaughters are isolated and at risk. Social services don’t seem to want to listen to me.

“It’s heartbreaking, but I have to keep fighting this for the sake of the girls.”

Does this family have a name?

Re: Unbelievable.

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 02:25:21 GMT

its in the article

The identity of the paedophile, his wife and the children, who live in Devon, are all known to the Sunday Mirror but cannot be revealed for legal reasons.

The children’s mother got together with the child abuser, a man in his 40s, less than five years ago.

She had split from the girls’ father who moved out and at first saw his children at weekends. But he then relocated with a new partner and does not now have regular access.

The name was witheld for legal reasons, the original article says.

what gives this a little more credence than the usual type of sob story/agenda is the detailed sequence of events, and the naming of the authorities involved. But as the sources have been discredited by posters here (who may know more about the British press than I do) I will think it is untrue for peace of mind, as it really is one of the most horrible social services decisions I have ever heard about.

I really, really hope it isn't true.
