The inquiry into historic child abuse in the Jersey care system began in July 2014. According to the BBC the year-long six million inquiry is probing reports of abuse in the island`s children`s homes and fostering services from 1960 to the present day.
Lenny Harper, who has retired from his role as deputy chief officer of Jersey police, is still a chief witness to the inquiry which centred on the children`s home, Haut de la Garenne.
It has recently been reported by blogger, Rico Sorda, that Lenny Harper`s highly sensitive draft statement has been sent to him, to sign off, by unregistered post from the Child Abuse Inquiry via the Jersey government owned post office. It arrived in a state suggesting that it had been tampered with, on 2 October 2014. Since the Jersey government is also under investigation this raises suspicions.
As Rico Sorda asserted: "As one can imagine Mr Harper`s statement is a very substantial document that could name potential paedophiles, alleged corrupt crown officials and most alarming of all victims and survivors of abuse...(The) documents could have been copied before being placed back in the envelope."
We have seen it all before. Child protection could not be a nastier business and when the wrong people are in place it has nothing to do with protecting children.
It covers-up, drags out investigations, demonises whistleblowers and resorts to the most pathetic actions to protect itself. These same patterns manifest themselves elsewhere. See the Update below in which Stuart Syvret writes to the inquiry panel to tell them they must resign.
