A Fife-born woman accused of horrific child abuse in the Philippines is thought to have gone on the run. Lilian May Thomson, 66, has disappeared from her squalid home on the island of Luzon, where she is alleged to have kept children captive as sex slaves for tourists. Fugitive Thomson, who was born in Dunfermline and also goes by the name Sherry Zimmer, reportedly tied a child who was having seizures to a chair and threw a spear at social workers. Previously cleared of child abuse on a technicality, she is now wanted by police on two warrants for assaulting officers. She was uncovered by child welfare organisation the Preda Foundation, which has its base just a few hundred metres from where she supposedly ran a SCOTS Foundation home for abandoned children in Subic Bay. After children were rescued from Thomson’s home in 2014, Father Shay Cullen, the Irish missionary priest who started the Preda Foundation, said: “I saw non-Filipino elderly men holding and touching children. “I contacted the government welfare department and learned that the SCOTS Foundation had been disavowed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).” Mr Cullen said a naked girl and two skinny, semi-naked girls turned up at the Preda home one day, saying they were from the SCOTS Foundation. He sent a Preda social worker to take a look. He said: “Zimmer was smoking, unwashed and she appeared drunk. A seven-year-old was caring for a naked six-month-old baby. Another girl, about six, was tied in a chair with plastic binders. She was having epilepsy seizures.” He said he reported the situation to the DSWD but, two weeks later, the children were still living in miserable conditions. “I called again for the officials to rescue them and then two government social workers and seven police from Subic town went to Zimmer’s house to rescue the children. “They were prevented from entering the house and allegedly Zimmer hurled invective at them and threatened to kill them if they entered.” http://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/lo...philippines-disappears-from-her-home-1.923641
People like that deserve to be buried in dungeons for life. They will not change. And pose a continuing danger to children.
People easily forget that its not just the dirty old men that get involved with this squalid stuff. I once dated a girl that had been abused by her step father, it has scarred her emotionally for life without any shadow of a doubt, its very sad and distressing to see. I hope the lady in question is soon found and is dealt with harshly by the Philippine justice system.
I hope you're right. I wonder how many white scottish women there are in the subic area? Shouldn't take long to find I'd have thought
It depends on the amount of "protection" her kindred spirits are giving her, or maybe they will dispose of her permanently to tie up loose ends, so that a wider circle of perverts may not be exposed further. Let's face it, if she hasn't been caughts yet, it means that somebody is sheltering her for "some" reason..
There was a woman arrested here in AC only a week ago, who had been on the run for 7 years, after allegedly being involved in the robbery and killing of a couple in Manila, I suspect the P1M bounty on her head would have had something to do with the arrest! Money is a great motivator in such matters, problem is, who's gonna put up that sorta money in this case....in the other case, friends of the deceased couple put up the money.
