Youth Parent

📣 #Countylines victims aren't in any way 'rescued' from their slave masters, nor 'safeguarded' from fatal harm, particularly IF THEIR DEBT-BONDAGE IS LEFT UNTACKLED.

Every Christmas, hundreds of young people in our care system wake up to no presents — no reminder that someone is thinking of them. Unfortunately local authorities simply don’t have the resources to reach everyone. That’s why I started the Care Leavers Christmas Collection — to make sure every child and young person in care feels seen, valued, and remembered during the holidays. Together, we can change that. Every small act of kindness adds up to something powerful. More details coming soon on how you can get involved — let’s make this Christmas brighter for every child who deserves a little magic.

Wise Words. #NoDigitalID #StarmerOut

What a surprise Home Sec got in "#knifecrime & #VAWG" in her speech today, but CCE not worthy of mention It's only ✔A key driver of knife crime ✔UK's most common child slavery, making Brits [mostly *boys*]🔝Modern Slavery victims in the UK Unimportant Ignored Every time

After speaking with @antmiddleton about the state of London, one thing is clear: he is the only candidate with the grit to pull this city back from moral collapse and cultural erasure. If you care about London — the London that has stood proud for centuries — now is the moment to act. Vote Ant Middleton and reclaim your city. Watch my full interview with him for the @Deu_Kurier here.

'For over two centuries, the Home Secretary has safeguarded the nation'? 🤯 What has it done in the last decade to safeguard domestically trafficked British children (mostly boys) coerced into #Countylines, many dying - apart from making their appaling reality worse? #Fakeguard

@jonpayates We've discussed this to death but here's another tragic example if needed. 📣#WhatWorks is #NotWorking Until the elephant in the room that is CCE is acknowledged, & its link to violence, young boys & men will continue to die or become prison fodder. This is not ok.

Silence protects no one. It's time for an honest reckoning. Across the country, vulnerable children are being abused and exploited by predators and criminal gangs — and we are failing them. Children in care, among the most at risk, are crying out for protection while life-saving recommendations gather dust in Whitehall. How many more will suffer before we act?

A very welcome announcement from the Secretary of State for Education @bphillipsonMP this evening - She is committing to proper training for new teachers to get better support and outcomes for children from Sep 2025. This is a start. #ComeOnBridget

Whether in the thick of ongoing trauma or grief, wishing #CountylinesCCE fathers the best day possible today.

😡787,000 children #suspended and #Permanent #exclusions reached an all-time high in the 2022/23 academic year. Criminals will be looking to take advantage of this! #cce @ivisontrust @bespaceaware @reduceexclusion @anyoneschild @GracieDaz1 @

Keir Starmer, over 28k people are asking you to be a champion for children. Will you listen? Last week, we went to #DowningStreet to hand our petition in, along with 5 young ambassadors representing the charities. The government must listen and put #ChildrenAtTheTable.

If we're talking strip searches being traumatising, humiliating & 'a check designed for welfare often destroys it', there's a lot to say on #CountylinesCCE child victims, - particularly given #plugging is sexual abuse before any search is experienced.
