Government consider new rules to protect children in care

The Children's Minister says vulnerable children sent to care homes in Thanet are being housed in the same streets as convicted sex offenders. Tim Loughton is promising new action to prevent large numbers of children from outside Kent being placed into care here (06:07, 07:07 and 08:07).
A year ago on 91热爆 Radio Kent, the county's police force promised to take special measures to protect people whose lives had been destroyed by anti-social behaviour.
The promise came in response to tragic cases like that of Fiona Pilkington, who killed herself and her disabled daughter in 2007, after ten years of harassment and threats by local youths.
However, the body, who in effect police the police, says that Kent is failing to do some of the very things it promised.
It is results day at the biggest annual garden show in the world, the Royal Horticultural Society, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.
