Amid mounting complaints that British authorities for decades failed to properly examine allegations of child abuse, lawmakers called Tuesday Nov. 6, 2012 for a sweeping national inquiry into the issue. Allegations that renowned BBC children’s TV host Jimmy Savile abused hundreds of young people have prompted national debate, and led scores of adults to contact authorities about other, unrelated cases of sex offenses in the past.

Speculation about a political figure from the Margaret Thatcher era alleged to be tied to Britain's child abuse scandal risks becoming a witch hunt, Prime Minister David Cameron warned Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012, after he was confronted in a television interview with names of supposed potential suspects. Cameron has authorized two new inquiries into widespread child abuse at care homes, foster homes and other institutions for vulnerable young people in Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.
