Children sent from England to Jersey then lost

The link is to the story about HDLG in the News of the World. Extracting a bit from the article:
A SHOCK secret police report into the Jersey House of Hell children's home reveals youngsters there WERE murdered then BURNED in a furnace to COVER UP the atrocities.

Kids were shipped to the home from all over the UK and were never heard of again.


What concerns me is the lack of interest of the UK Government in trying to track down which children have been sent to Jersey. I have done an FOI request of all English Childrens Authorities. However, they have mainly only done a cursory glance at the situation.

In Birmingham I arranged for the Internal Audit Department to track payments to Jersey and from that identify the children sent there.

The government's hopeless response is that you need a court order to send a child to Jersey. They should be instructing Childrens Services Authorities to perform a thorough study. Too many children are "lost" by Childrens Services.

In the mean time we need to stop the culture of coverup in Jersey and in England. Working with Stuart Syvret I have now identified precisely the constitutional relationship between the UK and Jersey and know which three Labour Ministers form the committee that has to act to stop the cover up.

There is a quotation ( Which sadly does not appear to be a true quotation ) We trained hard . . . but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization. But has to have been originated by someone. The web link shown goes through the derivation which appears to be more linked to an anonymous British Soldier WW2 than any Roman or Greek General called by a name perming 2 out of (Gaius, Galus, Petronius and Arbiter).
