Well done to Mason Laidler, he spoke at the Newcastle City Council meeting about the active R•pe Gangs operating across Newcastle.@gb_national
Our children must be protected at all costs.
Healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about recognising how far you’ve come, even when the steps feel small.
For survivors, healing can be a journey filled with different emotions, difficult days and moments of uncertainty. Some days may feel easier than others. There may be setbacks, questions and times when progress is hard to recognise.
But healing doesn’t have to follow a timetable, and there is no right or wrong way to move forward.
You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to pretend to be okay. And you certainly don’t have to face everything alone.
Every small step matters. Every moment of courage matters. You deserve patience, understanding and support along the way.
At PAG UK, we believe survivors deserve to be heard, believed and supported, not judged by where they are in their journey.
Take your time. Be kind to yourself. Your past does not define your future.
Supporting survivors. Protecting children. Empowering families.

GROOMING GANGS ARE NOT A THING OF THE PAST.
Child sexual exploitation has not disappeared. Organised exploitation of children continues to be a safeguarding concern, and we cannot afford to become complacent or assume that the problem belongs to another time.
Behind every headline, statistic and investigation are real children whose safety, childhood and futures matter.
We must listen to survivors, take concerns seriously, recognise the warning signs and ensure that every report is met with the appropriate response. No community should be allowed to look the other way, and no child should be left without protection.
Awareness is not enough on its own. We need vigilance, accountability, effective safeguarding and the courage to keep asking difficult questions.
This is not about fear or blame. It is about protecting children, supporting survivors and making sure lessons are learned.
Grooming and exploitation have not gone away. Neither can our determination to challenge them.
Supporting survivors. Protecting children. Empowering families.

God bless her. Still fighting! Read what she's been though, watch the video.
What an incredibly strong woman and a fantastic artist too, I may add!
If you haven't heard this amazing lady speak yet, please look out for her Spaces, along with those hosted by the other ladies. They're truly inspirational.
Ladies of many talents, strength and determination. Keep up the fantastic work!
Lots of love,
Team PAG UK
This is the nightmare all survivors and families fear….children are still being abused and exploited!
The grooming of children, abuse and exploitation from rape gangs and more still continues!
It is extremely clear that NOT enough has been done!
Safeguarding is inadequate and more MUST and NEEDS be done! NOW! Today!
There has been NO accountability for past mistakes and negligence!
Safeguarding, protection, duty of care, have been totally inadequate!
Not just in Newcastle, but across the country!
There has been no accountability or consequences for those in a position of trust that have, not just been neglectful but have deliberately ignored and turned a blind eye to this scandalous and industrial abuse of children!
In many cases those responsible for safeguarding children, especially those in the care system, are, in fact not just negligent but actually complicit, regardless of any personal physical involvement!
PAG UK are an organisation that is dedicated to supporting survivors, raising awareness and bringing to account ALL that fail our vulnerable children.
Lessons learned, doesn’t cut it ANYMORE!
We’ve heard it all before and NOTHING ever changes!
Thank you Mason for standing up, being a voice and not allowing this issue to be ignored!
Let’s, as parents, grandparents, responsible adults, and most importantly as a nation…advocate and push for transparency, responsibility and accountability!
The absolute failure and cover up by this and previous governments is not just a massive failing, but has also enabled and facilitated this national scandal to persist for decades!
All those responsible and culpable MUST face serious consequences!
THIS MUST STOP!
NOW!
Grooming gangs are not a part of our history, they are part of our present.
Mason is a true hero.
What are Newcastle council doing, in practical terms to protect our girls?
As Mason says, they can’t make arrests but, they do have responsibilities.
How are they fulfilling their safeguarding duties?
Saddening and sickening.
I wonder if @officialsammyuk could help?
