Cheyenne O'Connor interview 08/08/2020

Cheyenne O'Connor

Back in February 2019, VFC interviewed "Britain's Most Prolific Pedophile Hunter" Cheyenne O'Connor ahead of a planned rally in support of minimum sentences for pedophiles. The rally TOOK PLACE on the 16th February 2019 and the status quo remained.

Some nineteen months later Cheyenne (discreetly) got together a number of people/friends/supporters through Private Messaging on Social Media in order to organise a "Symbolic Gesture" by placing banners and placards through town publicising the plight of children and their families at the hands of Jersey authorities, and in particular, Children's Services. This was filmed by VFC HERE.

In 2017 the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry (IJCI) published its damming report on how Jersey had failed its children for decades. Just about every government institution had (at best) failed children and their families. The report couldn't guarantee that children were safe in the "care" of Jersey authorities at time of it's publication and it would seem that STILL nothing has changed when it comes to government departments either doing the right thing or protecting the system. The latter, it would seem, is the priority.

VFC, and many others, have been campaigning, for more than a decade, against bad practice and lack of accountability. We know others have been campaigning for many decades yet the same culture (of fear) remains on the island and "The Jersey Way" prevails. Where victims of the system are portrayed as the perpetrators and the perpetrators as the victims. We know that going through the "correct/official channels" in an attempt to hold services/individuals to account is a fruitless task and is set up in such a way that you just get worn down after being sent from pillar to post, being ignored, portrayed as "anti Jersey" or a "trouble maker". It is important to make one thing clear here, especially to those who say "the system is broken." The system ISN'T broken, it is working exactly the way it was designed to work, Where you, the aggrieved, remain aggrieved while those with the power remain in power.

This is something discussed in the interview (below) with Cheyenne (among much more). Should she (or anybody) STILL have to go through the huge time and effort organising protests/marches/gatherings just to have her/their voices heard? Shouldn't Government Departments (particularly Children's Services) be doing the right thing from the get-go? Shouldn't the priority of Children's Services' be to its users/clients and NOT the protection of the staff/system? Shouldn't the users/clients have the upmost faith, and confidence, in the Children's Services' rather than living in fear of it? This too is discussed in the interview (below).

We are sure there are others who have had "experiences" with Jersey Children's Services, or other States departments, who can relate to the experiences discussed in the video interview and are possibly too fearful of speaking out? Either employees, former employees, users/clients?

Cheyenne has said please don't hesitate to contact her (in the strictest confidence) and share your story. She can be contacted on her Facebook Group HERE by Private Message or otherwise.

We thank Cheyenne for the exclusive interview, and indeed the vital work she is doing, in order to make this island a safer place for our children and their families.

Royal Square Rally 16 Feb 2019.

Today a rally took place in the Royal Square, organised by anti Child Abuse Campaigner Cheyenne O'Connor asking for pedophiles to remain on the sex offenders register for life and for a minimum sentence of three years imprisonment to be imposed on those who are convicted as highlighted in our PREVIOUS POSITING

Around 150-200 people turned up to support the cause which considering the subject matter, and the culture of fear still so prevalent on the island, this must be seen as a success and full credit to Cheyenne O'Conor for organising the event and to those who turned up.

There were two speakers at the event, the first was a very brave Survivor of Abuse Emma, who spoke of the ongoing physical and emotional scars and how this is also felt by family members long after the abuse occurred.

The second speaker was former Health Minister and whistleblower Stuart Syvret. Stuart spoke of events that took place in late 2007-2008 when he spoke out about the child abuse and the hostility he faced then, and now, for doing so. How the Jersey situation now is no better, if not worse, than it was back then. He also gave us a sobering reminder that not all those who were in the "care" of the States of Jersey made it out alive and deserve as much thought and recognition as those who did. Some say those who didn't make it out alive are the lucky ones................................

Below is a short video of today's events/speeches. Possibly more (video) to follow.

Cheyenne O'Connor Rally Saturday 16th February 2019.

Cheyenne O'Connor

This coming Saturday 16th February at 10am there is a rally to be held at the Royal Square in Jersey. The rally has been organised by online pedophile hunter Cheyenne O'Connor who snares online child predators who attempt to meet (what they believe are) children. Cheyenne poses as a teenage child online and gathers evidence against pedophiles which she then hands over to the police. Her efforts have resulted in a number of convictions with some predators ending up in prison, for what she, and many others believe, a short amount of time.

Cheyenne is advocating for a minimum (three year) prison sentence of pedophiles and believes they should remain on the Sex Offenders Register for life and has created an online petition to that end. The petition has attracted more than 2,500 signatures and received a response from the relative (Home Affairs) Minister. With another 2,500 signatures it will be considered for debate in the Island's Parliament. The petition (and the Minister's response) can be viewed (and signed) HERE. She also runs her own Facebook page where she documents her online work catching pedophiles and cases she is working on. The page can be viewed HERE.

Former Health Minister/Whistleblower Stuart Syvret

VFC spoke with Cheyenne yesterday (video below) and discussed the upcoming rally this Saturday where there will be a few speakers including Survivors and former Health Minister, and whistleblower Stuart Syvret. We also discussed such topics as "The Culture of Fear" so prevalent in our Island, the message being sent out by those attacking those of us who campaign against pedophilia and trying to protect our children. Her response the the Home Affairs Minister's and Attorney General's response, Keyboard Warriors and much more.

We thank Cheyenne O'Connor for the interview and for the work she does in trying to keep our children safe. If you agree with the PETITION and want to make a difference then sign it and be at the rally this Saturday 16th February 10am Royal Square.
