1,000 children may have been victims in Britain's biggest ever child abuse scandal

Up to 1,000 children could have been abused in Britain's biggest ever child abuse scandal, an investigation has revealed.

Hundreds of children, some as young as 11, are estimated to have been drugged, beaten and raped over a 40-year period in the town of Telford.

Lucy Allan, the Conservative MP for Telford, has called for an inquiry into child sexual exploitation, saying the latest reports were "extremely serious and shocking". She has previously called for a "Rotherham-style inquiry" into the allegations.

"There must now be an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Telford so that our community can have absolute confidence in the authorities," she told the Sunday Mirror.

The investigation claims that allegations dating back to the 1980s were mishandled by authorities in Telford, who repeatedly failed to punish a network of abusers.

Victims claimed that similar abuse, which has been linked to three murders and two other deaths, has continued in the area.

This makes me fucking sick. AGAIN. I come from Rotherham and I know the anger that has been simmering there since the whole mess was uncovered (and still continues to be), this is just more fuel for the fire. Can't fucking believe (or actually, I can, which is worse).

A 14-year-old, said that she became pregnant twice and had two abortions while being groomed and abused. "Hours after my second termination, I was taken by one of my abusers to be raped by more men", she said. "Night after night, I was forced to have sex with multiple men in disgusting takeaways and filthy houses. I must have been getting the morning after pill from a local clinic at least twice a week but no one asked any questions.

Holy shit, so many signs and no one did anything!
