the Newsnight interviews others are referring to had former residents/clients of Kids Company saying that people within the charity were abusing them. T.
Camila Batmanghelidj ran the charity as a personal empire from an office
that looked like an "Aladdins den" a former worker claims,the full
extent of waste at the charity, which received millions of public
money.
Camila Batmanghelidj denies new allegations of lavish spending and claims,
that there was a culture of fear and favouritism at the charity. It is
claimed she had up to five 'personal assistants' at any one point.
A post grad. student who worked as an intern at the charity's London H.Q.
spoke of her amazement at seeing the flamboyant style of
Camila Batmanghelidj even on day one I couldn't believe the waste, her
ego seems just to have got bigger and bigger.

a reply to: Flavian I'm in total agreement with your point. I guess the problem now is who is going to replace the good work this charity was doing? There are more cuts on the way especially to social services and local councils. Where I was volunteering, every thing we wanted had to be priced up and applied for from different funding bodies, the council or other charities. These things are difficult to finance. I ended up doing 4 days a week volunteering paying for my own petrol out of my own pocket to basically do any driving that needed to be done. Which turned out to be quite a lot. I was always annoyed at the lack of volunteers from the estate we were based in. No one came forward to help. It made me realise there is no big society, not even a small one. I can't imagine what it must be like doing something on a large scale in one of the biggest cities in the world
Who are you referring to currently in office?
The charity received millions in funds
any normal business would go bust much more quickly
yet you believe she is credible and appear to be justifying her
why is she making such claims now - some people would say that is trying to deflect any questions over her own behaviour
Don't you think a place to start would be questioning her fitness to actually run the charity given its funds rather than what she is now claiming?
Abuse against children or any vulnerable person happens at all levels in society, to think that the corridors of Whitehall are somehow more likely than an alley in (insert provincial town of your choice) are more down to bias than anything else
Where there is justifiable information or evidence then anyone, regardless of their job or position should be investigated.

There is something about her I've never been comfortable with, she seems more concerned with her ego than the message.

David Cameron is preventing the Metropolitan Police from investigating my case against Kenneth Clarke MP, who was involved in the scandal of sexually assaulting me in Ian Greer’s office, which Cameron helped cover up!

Ben Fellows has been desribed as a serial liar and has little credibility. Just because someone makes an accusation doesn't mean it's true you know...

Mr Fellows was described in court as "an inventive and sometimes persuasive fantasist".

But he was was described in that manner by the prosecution.... and then found not guilty of perverting the course of justice.
And of course those in power and those guilty will try to discredit those they abuse.
That's why they targeted "Naughty" kids in childrens homes so often, who'll believe them, right?
