A children's charity is calling for the immediate prosecution of at least four people named in the Waterhouse report into the abuse of children in north Wales.

The call coincides with a demonstration by friends of the convicted paedophile and former social services inspector Derek Brushett, in protest at what they call an "alarming miscarriage of justice".

The Cardiff-based charity 'Voices from Care says it has "grave concerns" about the Waterhouse report.

Steve Messham - of the North Wales abuse survivors group Norwas - will also press for the immediate prosecution of at least four individuals named as a danger to children in the report.

Two of those named have been suspended on full pay by Wrexham County Borough Council for the past three years and are still going through disciplinary procedures.

Meanwhile 200 people who have formed a support group for convicted paedophile Derek Brushett are to hold a silent walk in his home village of Dinas Powys near Cardiff.

He has applied for leave to appeal against his 14 year sentence, imposed last year for a catalogue of sexual and physical abuse of boys.

A jury at Cardiff Crown Court convicted him of 27 charges including two serious sexual offences while he was headmaster of the now closed Bryn Y Don Residential Home for Boys in Dinas Powys.

The offences involve 17 victims who were aged between 11 and 16.

But his supporters say he is innocent, and the current political climate in relation to child abuse made a fair trial impossible.
