🚨 Why do high-profile scandals like the Epstein files hit so hard? Because they force us to confront the devastating reality that institutional abuse is not confined to headlines—it echoes through countless, often unheard, lives. On the latest episode of the @LockedUpLiving podcast, @wolvercoteman and me speak with @hinchliffe1569 , a survivor of the notorious Grafton Close children’s home, who shares his fight for accountability and the harrowing failures of those meant to protect the most vulnerable. From the institutional denial and cover-ups Keith Hinchliff faced, to the disturbing lack of empathy from local authorities, this conversation powerfully echoes the systemic failures revealed in cases like Epstein’s. It's a reminder that for every well-publicised scandal, there are countless survivors still denied justice—sometimes even basic acknowledgment. As we discuss, when society can’t listen to these truths, we can't hope to fix what's broken or make things safer for generations to come 17:14. The more we understand, the harder it is to look away—and the more we can push for meaningful change. #InstitutionalAbuse #CSA #GraftonClose #RichmondCouncil #Survivor #EpsteinFiles #Safeguarding #JusticeMatters#ChildProtection #MakeChangeHappen Look for Locked Up Living wherever you get your podcasts or via the links in the comments.

With the country focused on accountability, survivor support, and real change, this episode provides an unfiltered look at how these failures happened—and what still needs to be done. Essential listening for those working in social care, criminal justice, policy, or anyone concerned with child protection and reform.

Why does @TodaybbcNews have such an antagonistic way of interviewing doctors. Hardly impartial reporting. @BBCNews

@Emmabarnett really has become an unpleasant right wing bully on the today programme. @BBCr4today

@KayBurley Lovely pictures, that's a cruel age to lose your mum.

Remembering my mum today who was 59 when she passed. Alexander just eight months old at the time. 32 years later and I still remember when I could speak to her half a dozen times a day. Laughing, crying, quarrelling, seeking her words of wisdom and unwavering love. I know she would have been proud of her grandson. Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who still miss your mum everyday.

@BBCNews seems to have forgotten that we have an illegal, undeclared war and that Trump & co are international criminals. And we are paying the cost. Spell it out please.
