Having written court Reports on countless sex offences and sex offenders over a thirty year period in Probation, this event is well down the list on its level of seriousness or severity. A large bunch of young people, many half drunk, are likely to commit all manner of stupid behaviours and many will not even remember it the next day. That one was a twenty-year-old means nothing. He may have had the intellect of a fourteen-year-old or less and I'm sure other things went on that did not attract attention. The lack of responsible adult supervision is the main fault here.

No doubt. But where did the behaviour start before it got to the courts.
Thank you craic for putting things in perspective.Somebody needs to take responsibility for not supervising correctly.
Lets not gloss over the inconvenient problem that the PM was not informed (so she says) and I'd have to say the somewhat questionable decision to refer the victims (eventually) to a unionist at the HELP centre. I'm not convinced sending two boys to a lesbian feminist is necessarily the best course to take.

The Chiefs management even told Steve Tew about their carry on ...at least I think they told Steve ...who then passed the buck to Neil to do all the talking and explaining and apologising ...
This is worse because young people were involved

Nigel Howarth has been remarkably quiet. I guess as Bus Driver you get to decide who gets thrown under it.
I don't call the alleged sexual assault of four children a minor incident. They ought to have been in a safe environment with supervisors doing their job - which includes the management of alcohol consumption.
Children? They were 16, and now there is a movement to give the vote to sixteen year olds?
When in some kind of state care (health education police etc) a child is a person aged under 18. These organisations have to take special steps to ensure the safety of the "child".
