NSPCC response to Edlington case
Press Releases - 22 January 2010
NSPCC Chief Executive Andrew Flanagan said:
"This country has not seen such acts of schoolboy savagery for many years. The violent and sadistic tendencies of these brothers grew unchecked over several years - leaving destruction and despair in their wake.
"The case raises serious questions about how children can be left to drift in homes seriously damaged by violence and neglect. Where families cannot give their children a decent start in life, the authorities need to act swiftly and robustly - both for their sake and the rest of society."
