I hope that none of the torch-and-pitchfork-carrying hysterics on these threads are ever falsely accused of anything because only then will they realise how dangerous a situation that is. Every time I see another of these threads pop up and read posts from people beating their own breasts with grief and outrage, I remember the baying mob who besieged the house of a paediatrician and daubed her walls with anti-paedophile graffiti.
Incidentally, it is no secret that children in care homes have a rough time. If people put as much effort and energy into doing something about it that they put into talking about it, there probably wouldn't be a problem.

Who has suggested 'posh people' are inherently bad?
What a bizarre generalization...
The point of a forum is to debate issues, to suggest that some forum members are so blinkered they couldn't decipher between a peadophile and a peadiatrician is rather insulting.
Discussing these topics is a way of sharing ideas and information. However, we are not in a position to affect how authorities conduct their affairs regarding social services...
As the general public we elect those who would do that...
