The Joe Peters Foundation of Survivors

To close its services due to the lack of financial support

10 years today (Our anniversary)

24^th July 2010

Dear Friends,

The Foundation of Survivors is a non-profit organisation, due to the recession and funding issues we had to restrict our services by 80% we only able to give email support to children and adults from now on, we been helping children and adults since 1999 and also offering a range of referral services for counseling young people, unfortunately and beyond my control I failed miserably to get funding through larger charities and donations from businesses.

It’s a great sadness the foundation I ran for 10 years that was true to my heart is closing its services from the effect of 24^th July 2010; I cannot fund the foundation by myself any longer, which has mostly been the case since 1999, through my book sales and out my own family pockets.

Whilst I will always be dedicated to helping both children and adults that have suffered childhood abuse, I can only help with restricted services. Our Freephone support has gone. If you are a child in need please feel free and call our landline 01656 – 770526 or email abuse@crysilenttears.co.uk

The worry and stress of running the foundation on fresh air, has had severe effects on my health and family environment, I would like to apologise to all that have used our service that we no longer can give Freephone support.

I would like to thank everybody for their help and support over the 10 years and to all my many friends for doing their best for the foundation.

God bless

Mr. Joe Peters

The number of child sex abuse websites in Europe has soared and the violence shown has become more extreme, the European commission and Europol, the European police agency, warned yesterday.

Jacques Barrot, EU commissioner for freedom, justice and security said Europe was facing “an extremely dramatic situation” after the number of child abuse websites increased fourfold between 2004 and 2007. At the launch of an international coalition to disrupt finances of the online child sex trade, he warned that organised criminal gangs were making an “indecent profit” for “horrific crimes against the most vulnerable people - children”.

British police who tackle online child abuse and will lead the work of the European Financial Coalition said that up to 300 commercial child abuse websites were available at any one time and earnt well in excess of €30m (£26.8m) a year. Officers at the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) in London processed 1.6m images in the past year alone and identified and rescued 50 children.

“The ages of the victims are getting lower and lower and the degree of depravity is getting higher and higher,” said Francis Herbert, secretary general of Missing Children Europe, which is part of the coalition. The Internet Watch Foundation has found that 10% of the children featuring in images of abuse are under two, a third are younger than six and 80% are under 10.

“The recent trend has been for more brutal images and severe torture of children,” said Torbjorn Ull, a detective in Europol’s serious crime department in Brussels. “If there is a demand for images of penetration or torture then they will produce it to order.” Some images appeared to include killings, though it has been impossible for officers to verify.

The European commission yesterday announced a €17m investment in the “fight against the production, distribution and sale of child abuse images” and will set up a European alert system which will gather together all police reports of online abuse which will be crosschecked by Europol to provide evidence against the abusers and the criminal groups profiting from abuse.

The financial coalition includes Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, eBay and Microsoft, which are all involved in online payments. But Jim Gamble, chief executive of Ceop, said the involvement of organised criminals had diminished and he wants the coalition to help tackle file-sharing sites operated not by gangsters but by paedophiles who are motivated by their desires rather than profit.

“The organised crime element has diminished year on year as the risk increased and the profit reduced. Now we plan to eradicate the remnants of that industry once and for all,” he said.

He said the number of non-profit sites had overtaken the number of pay-per-view sites and the financial coalition will attempt to follow the trails of money in these groups in the same way as counter-terror police investigate terror finance.

“These groups have more in common with terrorists who are driven by inherent belief rather than profit,” he said.

Dear Friends,

I have recently neglected my blogs this is due to the fact that I have been very ill and still struggling to deal with this long term illness that is seriously effecting my work, I would like to thank all my readers and supporters for you wonderful help and support.

I will be taking a step back from my work, but will never stop advocating and fighting for children and will try my very best for children worldwide. Please continue to help me and make awareness of child abuse, I will try to complete a full blogg when I have a good day.

God Bless

I hear every day that social workers get a hard time over cases like Baby P, like any other individual I am inviting social workers to explain the impossible targets and proceedures that they have to go through to help our children, this is your voice to express your views and how you would like the child protection laws changed for the better. This is your chance to show the public what problems you encounter with the UK Government child protection laws.

I am open to all ideas and I will be presenting my case to parliment after christmas of the changes needed for children to consistanly be monitored as our current system is not working, I am all for change as long as it does change for the better.

Best Wishes

Joe Peters
