A homosexual foster couple were left free to sexually abuse vulnerable boys in their care because social workers feared being accused of discrimination if they investigated complaints, an inquiry concluded yesterday.

Even when the mother of two of the children reported her suspicions to the council, officials accepted the men’s explanations and did nothing. Instead of banning children from staying with Faunch and Wathey, they sent youngsters with more serious problems to them. Between them, the couple abused four boys aged between eight and 14.

“One manager described the couple as ‘trophy carers’ which led to ’slack arrangements’ over placement. “Another said that by virtue of their sexuality they had a ‘badge’ which made things less questionable.“The sexual orientation of the men was a significant cause of people not ‘thinking the unthinkable’.“It was clear that a number of staff were afraid of being thought homophobic.“The fear of being discriminatory led them to fail to discriminate between the appropriate and the abusive.”

Their victims included a 14-year-old boy with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism,who had a mental age of seven and was forced by Wathey to watch gay pornography.

Another youngster with a “very troubled background” was only in their care for a few weeks before being abused by Faunch.

But social workers had been aware of “inappropriate” behaviour long before then.

Just eight months after they started as professional foster carers a mother of eight-year-old twins, who couldn’t cope with raising them on her own, voiced concerns about them with social services.

While visiting the twins, the 34-yearold single mother was shown a picture taken by Faunch showing one of the boys going to the lavatory during a visit to Butlin’s holiday camp in Skegness and discovered a similar snap had been taken of the other twin.

A social worker took the photograph and promised a full investigation.

But the court heard that not only did social services staff lose the photo, they decided against contacting police after accepting Faunch’s explanation that he was trying to embarrass the boys into shutting the lavatory door.

Police later discovered that, days after the photos were taken, Faunch recorded an indecent video of the twins taking a shower. They began abusing the boys three months later.

One day these children will sue everyones ass off for ruining their lives they will deserve every penny when society puts them at risk and after knowing they are abusing them fails to take measures!  Because they are homosexual!?!?!?

They need corporal punishment, as do the case workers who ignored it.

Like Michelle says

If ever there were a damning indictment of the perils of political correctness, there it is.

Great world socialists want us to live in. Remember they are not white hetronormative males, they can do no wrong we don’t want to hurt their feelings and if the boys are ruined for life by a politically correct state that’s ok…..

That’s a nice earring the wathey scumbag has.

Foster Duo Abused Children

Two men have been jailed for sexually abusing vulnerable boys who had been placed in their foster care.

Craig Faunch, 32 was sentenced to six years and his partner Ian Wathey, 40 was sent down for five years.

They had been found guilty at Leeds Crown Court last month of a series of sex offences against young boys.

The pair had been approved as foster carers by Wakefield Council in July 2003, but within months they were using the boys from troubled homes for their own sexual gratification.

Faunch was found guilty of two charges of making indecent photos of a child. The court was told that he used a camcorder to film two naked eight-year-old boys in the shower.

He was also found guilty of five counts of sexual activity with a 14-year-old boy.

Wathey was found guilty of four charges of sexual activity with a 14-year-old boy. He was also convicted of encouraging a child to watch sexual activity, namely a gay porn video.

However, he was cleared of two charges of sexual activity with a child.

The men, from Pontefract, were approved as foster carers in July 2003. Neither had been in trouble with the police before and were approved as foster carers after checks and training.

Defence barristers had claimed the allegations were “bizarre” and that the allegations were unfounded.
