A UK scandal that could spread to Australia [View all]
One of the biggest news stories in the UK at the moment is 1400 children found to have been sexually abused in the town of Rotherham UK.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28974336
A report published on Tuesday found at least 1,400 children were sexually exploited from 1997 to 2013.
Those in charge of care services at the time have faced calls to resign.
They include Sonia Sharp, who ran Rotherham's children's services department from 2003 to 2008 and is now in charge of education services in the Australian state of Victoria.
Andrew Collins, an advocate for historical abuse survivors, said Ms Sharp should resign "immediately" from her current job because her position was now "inappropriate".
