Rotherham Child Abuse Victims Had Their Babies Taken Away

A number of Rotherham’s 1,600 child abuse victims who had babies after being raped had their children taken away despite their wishes under care orders – and were never allowed to see them again.

Labour's Sarah Champion said the "upsetting" aspect of the horrific report "spoke volumes" about how the authorities did not see these children as victims, adding that she will investigate what counselling the mothers have since been offered.

Senior officials from Rotherham Council face questioning from MPs about the scandal, while South Yorkshire police chief constable David Crompton has admitted Professor Alexis Jay's report into the abuse of the children over 16 years had "laid bare the failings" of his force.

In her devastating report, she wrote: "In a number of the cases we read, children and young people had pregnancies, miscarriages and terminations.

"Some had children removed under care orders and suffered further trauma when contact with their child was terminated and alternative family placements found.

"This affected not just the victims themselves, but other siblings who had developed attachments to the baby.
