Been raped or sexually abused? Don’t want to report it to the police right now or haven’t made your mind up yet? You can go to SARC ! It is a Sexual Assault Referral Centre You do not have to go to the police first , At SARC they can store any forensic evidence that they collect, They can offer confidential medical and practical support to people who have recently been raped or sexually assaulted. SARCs are usually provided by the NHS. SARCs are not Rape Crisis member services but often work alongside them, If you do choose to talk to the police in the future they will be able to use this evidence if and when you are ready ❤️🙏🏻 @RYDaily @ry_ineedhelp @ry_norfolk @MaggieOliverUK

Good afternoon lovely @RespectYourself hope you have a wonderful long Easter weekend 🐣🐰🙏

Somewhere, an 11-year-old just saw porn for the first time. What they saw was confusing, even disturbing. But it also caught their attention. It won't be the last time they seek this out. Somewhere, a 13-year-old is being messaged by adults online. They're told to send pictures, and they do. They don't realize they're being exploited. Somewhere, a group of high schoolers uses an app to create explicit deepfakes of their classmates. They think it's a joke and don't realize they're participating in abuse. If we don't teach them, porn will. Open and honest conversations are crucial to educating and protecting kids from harm. If you hope for a better world, join us in fighting for it. ftnd.org/donate

This man, John Bootland, has been sentenced to 'life' imprisonment for the murder of Colleen Westerman in a violent attack in Leeds last November. bbc.com/news/articles/c937yx… Because he killed a woman – who knew him – in her own home and did not 'take a weapon to the scene', his minimum term is just 15 years. If he had killed a stranger in the street it would have been 25 years.

Good news: the Ayatollah regime’s outlet in #Birmingham has been shut—locked and sealed, with orders to vacate. Not by the UK government… but by the landlord. Turns out they hadn’t paid the rent!

This holiday, hundreds of children in our care system will face abuse. Gangs will target them, forcing them into crime, while many will go unprotected. Politicians would never let a young relative live in these conditions. So why are the most vulnerable children in our country expected to?

A 34-year-old man with no fixed abode has been sentenced to ongoing detention in a mental health facility after attempting to abduct two young children at a Cardiff splash pad.

On 3 July 2025, he approached two children under five at Victoria Park, touched one’s leg, grabbed both by the arms and said he was “grabbing the kids”. Their mothers intervened to stop him. The following day, he tried to force his way into a nursery in Bridgend county, pushing past staff. Janu has a history of mental illness. One mother described her daughter waking up screaming in fear, while another expressed ongoing anxiety about the incident.
