I've heard Maggie Oliver speak several times on TV. She's a strong woman of principles. It's pretty scary that this happened at all and that those poor girls (who are no more than children) were ignored. It's worrying that there was no one to turn to when they needed help.

I am reading the transcripts, they were seen as difficult women, one was described as difficult to work with. We should really learn from this in terms of who to listen to.

Oh well that's all right - except it's NOT!!
Unbelievable situation. Those poor girls

I started to support the foundation when this wonderful woman set it up 5 years ago.
I get regular news letters informing me of what’s going on.
Did anyone hear the young victim speaking on news at 1?
She is being abused now in Rochdale and the police won’t do anything.
I fail to see what this look at me Andy Burnam show was about. Little has changed.

I agree. Tenacious and inspirational.

This woman should get an honour without doubt.
