Shocking, more so as it's a true story.
TV Series
- Thread starter Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian
- Start date
If it would've happened in the seventies, you would'nt have been surprised, but it was a few years ago, that's what I found hard to get my head round.
All the scandals that had gone on before, yet the authorities still hadn't learnt the lessons

I remember it breaking - you're right, it was recent. One of those where everyone can see it happening in plain sight, but nobody stepping in.

Not just there though as it has been all over the country. Sickening to think they have got away with it for so long. Those guilty should never be released but they got sentences which after serving half mean they will be out much sooner than they should ever be.

Probably unfair, but in my knowledge of those that I know, and my involvement through my work, the portrayal of that social services woman was spot on.
Pretty powerful stuff even if it were to be fiction. The fact that it is true took my breath away at the dismissal of the young girls stories.
That's the shocking thing - the willingness to dismiss the obvious concerns as 'not our job'.

Yeah. I thought that scene about her being a child prostitute was very poignant and probably sums up the underlying issues with the authorities in this case.
Whilst difficult to watch overall, I liked the way the programme makers made no attempt to sensationalise the story by sexing it up a bit. There was no make up or "sexy clothing" on view, the girls almost being portrayed as Vicky Pollard like.
Another excellent television dramatization of real events coming right on the back of Little Boy Blue.

Ok....it was just his anger/frustration at chuck coming out....no grounds there and no real evidence
Just watched Three girls horrific so many of the social workers and other agencies with their heads in the sand,I hope they got punished for not doing there job
Last episode of Three Girls.
Slag the BBC off all you want, but true life dramas like this are what they do so well and with sensitivity.
Incredible acting from all who had main parts, particularly the young girls who played the victims.
The wilful neglect by all of the authorities prior to the major investigation and the dodging of culpability even after the convictions was breath taking.
Got to be in line for a shed load of awards and rightly so.

If that policewoman hadnt resigned and subsequently exposed the true extent of the crimes and cover ups by all the authorities involved, you'd never had got the public enquiry that followed or the investigations in other parts of the country.
Abolutely shocking that nobody lost their jobs over this other than the policewoman who resigned and the social worker who did most to expose the problem.
