Cadet Forces: Initiation to Child sexual abuse?

The BBC tonight on Panorama reveal that sexual abuse was covered up at Cadet Forces 2017 Jul 4

Cadet Abuse Cover-Up

As one of Britain’s largest youth groups, the cadet forces are responsible for nearly 130,000 children in more than 2,000 clubs across the country.

However, not all members have positive memories of their time within the ranks. They are victims of sexual abuse by their cadet instructors, and this abuse could have been stopped but wasn’t.

This investigation shines a light on a culture of cover-up across the UK which allowed abuse to continue.

Reporter Katie Razzall reveals the deeply troubling evidence with serious questions now facing the government organisation in overall charge – the Ministry of Defence.

I have therefore taken the opportunity to publish my list of links of  child abuse related to the armed forces.

I believe that there is more abuse by ex servicemen and in the forces than the general population, so I have been saving links for some time.

I have not had time to sort them.

Anyone who has time to go through them and put them in a timeline with headlines would be doing a service to survivors, for others to use.

Even achieving them on http://archive.is/ or http://archive.org/web/ would be very useful as many disappear.

A few timelines at a time is good and add them to comments. If this is crowdsourced then it will not take long.

If those who spend their time arguing on twitter or those who moan that the authorities are not doing a good job would do something useful themselves then we would be a long way further ahead independently doing something, that would also force authorities to do more.

I have had mega problems copying them for some reason and so there may be repeats and I have some to add, but here they are.

Note 1: Britain forced children in its maritime ships. I lean toward using them for sexual use since women were Not allowed. And Not because they are better learner of the trade at an early age, as most navy people disseminate this notion. Napoleon was denied a powerful navy because the ministry of the navy didn’t believe young boys of 17 can learn the trade efficiently.
