SHE REPORTED 1,400 CHILDREN BEING RAPED. THEY INVESTIGATED HER. Jayne Senior @Jes123tia456 spent 14 years as manager of Risky Business, a Rotherham Council project for vulnerable young women. For 14 years she handed evidence of systematic child sexual exploitation to police and social services. Names. Dates. Patterns. A 42-page intelligence report. She built the jigsaw piece by piece. They shut down her programme. They told her the records were rubbish. They told her she was rocking the multicultural boat. They told her the children were consenting. Children. Ten years old. She risked prosecution to become the source for Times journalist Andrew Norfolk, whose 2012 investigations finally broke the story open to the nation. The Jay Report in 2014 confirmed what she had been screaming into the void since the late 1990s: at least 1,400 children had been abused in Rotherham. Jayne got an MBE in 2016. The council got reputational damage it spent years managing. The officers got their pensions. When she filed complaints with the IOPC about senior police officers who had done nothing, the watchdog warned her that if she kept going, she would be labelled a vexatious complainant and could face imprisonment. She kept going. Her complaint was eventually upheld in 2021. The report naming the officers was never published. South Yorkshire Police @SYPTweet rejected the watchdog's findings. No officers were named. No further action was taken. Someone did warn her the officers might sue her personally if she spoke about it publicly. She spoke about it publicly. This is what accountability looks like in Britain. A youth worker risks prison to protect children. The institutions that failed those children close ranks, bury the reports, and threaten the one person who kept records. The children were the problem, apparently. Not the men. Not the police. Not the council. The woman with the filing cabinet. Source: The Times @thetimes, @BBC, @guardian , @yorkshirepost, Jay Report 2014, IOPC Operation Amazon 2022

While you slept last night, completely motionless in your bed, our galaxy shifted millions of kilometers through the cosmos. You woke up in the same room, on the same planet, but unimaginably far from where you were the night before. The Milky Way does not glide silently through the universe. It is racing through space at about 600 kilometers per second, carrying with it billions of stars, planets, and everything they contain on the journey. It is a good reminder that, even when life seems motionless, you are always in motion.

Female genital mutilation is violence against children. “FGM causes infection, incontinence, unbearable pain during childbirth, and deep physical and emotional scars that never heal. No tradition can ever justify torture,” says Ayaan Hirsi Ali, founder of the AHA Foundation, quoted by Fox News Digital. Only legal accountability can protect girls. foxnews.com/politics/its-hid…

She ate lunch alone for 730 days straight. What this 16-year-old built from that pain now protects millions of kids worldwide. Seventh grade. Natalie Hampton carried her tray through a packed cafeteria and felt it — that specific, suffocating dread of not knowing where to go. She'd already learned what happened when you approached the wrong table. The silence. The turned backs. The whispered laughter that followed you all the way to the empty table by the wall. The one everyone could see. The one that said: nobody wants her. For two full years — 730 consecutive lunches — that table was hers. Alone. The bullying went further than whispers. She was shoved into lockers. Four physical attacks in two weeks. She came home with scratches and bruises. When she finally reported it, school administrators sent her to counseling — to find out what she was doing wrong. The isolation grew so heavy she was hospitalized for anxiety. Then ninth grade came. A new school. And almost overnight — everything changed. Students welcomed her. She made friends within weeks. She finally knew what safe felt like. But she couldn't stop thinking about the kids still sitting at the wall table. Right now. Today. She remembered what she'd needed most during all those lunches. Not a teacher. Not a pamphlet. Just one person saying: "You can sit with us." So at 16 — with zero coding experience and "a lot of enthusiasm," as she put it — Natalie built exactly that. She called it Sit With Us. The idea was simple and genius: students sign up as "ambassadors," keeping their table open. Other kids privately browse available tables on their phones before ever walking into the cafeteria — and show up knowing they're already welcome. No public rejection. No moment of judgment. Just a guaranteed seat. Within 7 days of launching: 10,000 downloads. Then the world found her. NPR. The Washington Post. CBS News. Messages from Morocco, Australia, the Philippines, France — kids who'd been eating alone for years, finally finding a place to belong. Sit With Us now operates in 30 countries. "Even if it helps one person," Natalie said quietly, "it was worth building." She turned 730 lunches of loneliness into a lifeline for millions. That's not just survival. That's transformation.

Her name is Galyn Susman and she was laid off by Disney two years ago because of budget cuts (even though Disney turned over $88b profits that year)
During Toy Story 2 (1999), Pixar accidentally erased about 90% of the movie with a single command. The studio backups failed. The film survived only because an employee on maternity leave had a copy saved at home. Pixar later called it a miracle.

Notice how they called the 15 year old girl a "woman" but the two 17 year olds who raped her get called "boys"
🚨Breaking News🚨 It can now be confirmed that the “two 17 year old boys from Leamington” in this story are actually Afghan boat migrants. A 15 year old girl was “abducted” away from her friends and raped by one of them, as he called his friend & told him to “come quick” and do the same. Barristers for the two asked that their names & the fact they are Afghan migrants was not revealed. The judge thankfully decided to lift reporting restrictions, meaning that it now can be reported. The victim asked for help from other women & they ignored her (until one actually helped her) Her and her families lives have been ruined and the girl now gets so anxious she is physically sick 💔 I am furious about this story. Furious that we have to live like this. Furious that the true story of the perpetrators would ever have been hidden, even for a second and furious that yet another innocent child has had their lives ruined… I will discuss all of this on my @gbnews show tonight at 6pm leamington.nub.news/news/loc…
