Pressure on Scottish Government for a public inquiry into historic child sexual abuse

Michael Russell due to make a statement

"CHILDREN in Scotland have been the victims of evil ritual abuse including rape, murder and even the production of so-called ‘snuff films’, two leading charities claimed last night."

"One veteran campaigner said he had even heard of babies being born and never registered, so the innocent youngsters would not be missed when they were eventually killed by secret paedophile networks."

"The existence of such terrifying ‘cults’ practising the ritual abuse of children is said to have gone unchecked in Scotland for decades, with those victims who do come forward facing scepticism and outright disbelief."

"Although many of the vile incidents are said to have taken place some years ago, experts are sure that an unknown number of ritual abuse rings are still in operation today."

"Last night, Police Scotland said they were taking the allegations "incredibly seriously" and would investigate any complaints made to them."

"The claims are certain to put the Scottish Government under intense pressure to finally announce a public inquiry into historic child sexual abuse – with Scotland now the only part of the UK without such a review."

UPDATE 11.11.2014

"A national action plan to tackle child sex abuse has been announced by the Scottish government, amid a warning the problem is widespread."

"Meanwhile, Mr Russell said the government was still considering whether to hold a further inquiry into historic child sex abuse, and would reach a decision by Christmas."
