I have removed the "Cleveland Social Services" section, which consisted of quotes on child sexual abuse in general, not on the Cleveland scandal or on Cleveland Social Services. I have also removed the unsourced "media investigation" section and instead added a line about the RAD test to the lead, with a reliable source. More reliable sources couldn't hurt, particularly ones detailing the course of the scandal itself. Huon (talk) 21:28, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am very unhappy with the title of this article, which is extremely misleading, especially as I posted a link on Mumsnet. It gives the impression that the people of Cleveland, NE England, were child abusers, but they were exonerated. I suggest we re-read the article, and amend the title to reflect The Actual Content of this webpage. 2A00:23C7:B7B8:1A01:D0F9:13C4:3109:A88A (talk) 21:50, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
