Clearly paedophiles have held kids for years , in cellars , WHY wont
South Australian police investigate this cellar
Are they protecting paedophiles AGAIN
HUNDREDS of children in state care in South Australia were ***ually
abused by their carers and exploited by pedophile rings in a "foul
undercurrent" laid bare yesterday.
Former Supreme Court judge Ted Mullighan warned that his three-year
commission of inquiry had uncovered only the "tip of the iceberg" of
the shameful abuse.
His re****t, tabled in the South Australian parliament yesterday,
details how the most vulnerable children have been failed yet again by
a system that was supposed to protect them.
"Ted Mullighan has given me a lot of confidence and ... hope for
justice."
Mr Mullighan found that children taken into state care were ***ually
abused by government staff, priests, teachers, doctors, social workers
and other "outsiders", including pedophiles who operated in organised
groups to prey on them.
Most of the 242 potential victims identified by Mr Mullighan were
taken into state care in South Australia between the 1950s and 1970s
and sent to state or church-run homes.
Many of the children were assaulted by a number of different abusers,
the inquiry found.
Some cases were re****ted as recently as 2004, at the time Mr Mullighan
launched his investigation.
He described yesterday how pedophiles became so emboldened in the
1990s that they contacted the state-run Lochiel Park centre in
Adelaide's northeast, naming boys to be "allowed out".
In other harrowing evidence, witnesses to the inquiry described how
they had been brutally abused as children.
In one case, a 10-year-old boy who had been sick in his dormitory bed
thought he was being comforted by a hostel worker who instead raped
him.
The victim remembered being told by his abuser: "Only sooks cry".
Another witness said he been repeatedly raped when he was sent to the
"little boy's ward" of the now de****t Glandore Home in Adelaide, aged
six.
He was later told that one of his abusers was a policeman, who had the
"right to ... have a boy" whenever he wanted.

Austrian detectives study cellar

The house where the man and his daughter lived
Police in Amstetten, Austria, have described the cellar where a woman
was allegedly held captive and ***ually abused for 24 years by her
father.
A series of underground rooms equipped for sleeping and cooking, and
with sanitary facilities, lay behind a concealed door, police said.
The father, 73, allegedly had seven children with his daughter, now
aged 42, and is under arrest.
Authorities are caring for the daughter and six surviving children.
The small town of Amstetten, about 130km (80 miles) west of Vienna,
with its well-kept gardens is in shock, the BBC's Bethany Bell
re****ts.
The case, she notes, is reminiscent of that of Natasha Kampusch, the
Austrian teenager held captive in a cellar in a house in a Vienna
suburb for eight years, who ran to freedom in 2006.
While police are not connecting the two cases, many Austrians are
asking how such matters went undiscovered, our correspondent says.
Door code
Speaking on Sunday evening, Austrian police confirmed they had found
the cellar where the daughter, named only as Elisabeth F, was
allegedly held along with three of her children.
KEY FACTS IN CASE

Elisabeth's father Josef, 73, has been arrested on suspicion of *****

Cellar case timeline
Three other children were adopted or fostered by the suspect, named as
Josef F, while a seventh allegedly died soon after birth.
Police found the cellar after Josef gave them a code to unlock the
hidden door, said Franz Polzer, head of the Lower Austrian Bureau of
Criminal Affairs.
"There is not only one, but a number of rooms: one room to sleep in,
one to cook, and there are also sanitation facilities," he said.
The floor is uneven and the hallway "very narrow" while the door is
"very small", and one has to bend one's head to get through, he added.
"Everything is very, very narrow and the victim herself, the mother of
these six or seven children, told us that this was being continually
enlarged over the years," Mr Polzer said.
The area also contained sanitary facilities and "small hot plates" for
cooking.
DNA tests
Elisabeth is receiving medical and psychological treatment and her
children are in care, police said.

Her eldest daughter, Kerstin, is in hospital with a serious illness.
The 19-year-old's admission to hospital a week ago, after allegedly
being hidden in the cellar with her mother and two siblings, sparked
new interest in the whereabouts of Elisabeth.
When she disappeared on 28 August 1984, her parents had received a
letter in her handwriting asking them not to search for her, and it
was assumed she had run away from home.
However, according to Elisabeth's testimony to police, that day Josef
had in fact lured her into the cellar, drugging and handcuffing her
before locking her up.
Allegedly, he had already been ***ually abusing her from the age of
11.
After Kerstin fell ill, doctors appealed for her mother to come
forward to provide details about her medical history.
Josef then released both Elisabeth and the remaining two children from
the cellar, telling his wife Rosemarie that she had chosen to return
home, police say.
Police arrested him shortly afterwards and took the children into
care, along with the three who had been adopted or fostered.
Rosemarie appears to have been unaware of the suspected crimes of her
husband.
DNA tests are to be taken to establish whether Josef F was the father
of the six surviving children.
