To be fair though it does say "'possible' registration number".

According to this site, the car CG52SFJ was registered in Cardiff in 2002/3.

Your vehicle may not have been registered before with DVLA if it’s:

a brand new
a kit car
imported
been rebuilt or radically altered
an old or classic vehicle
If you buy a brand new vehicle, the dealer will usually arrange for it to be registered. For all other cases, you’ll need to follow the process below.

Not all cars i.e foreign, old cars etc will necessarily show on the register.

According to this site, the car CG52SFJ was registered in Cardiff in 2002/3.

www.vregs.com/registration/CG52SFJ

This registration was first registered during the period 1st of September 2002 to the 28th of February, 2003.

This registration was first registered in Cardiff, South Glamorgan.

.

It's meant to be a silver hatchback Peugeot with a 2002 number plate. according to the webpage supplied by musky it's UK registration.
There is an outside chance it could be brand new, but that means brand spanking new, and as you say the dealer would have sorted that.

I don't see that it would fit any of the other categories, being a hatchback Peugeot it's hardly going to be turned into something else radically.

So which of the categories that you listed are you proposing that it might be?

Facts and figures about child abuse in the UK
Child abuse statistics for use by press and media

Police recorded over 23,000 sex offences against children aged under 18 years in England and Wales between April 2012 and March 2013.1
More than one in three children (34 per cent) who experienced contact sexual abuse by an adult did not tell anyone else about it.

Four out of five children (82.7 per cent) who experienced contact sexual abuse from a peer did not tell anyone else about it.2
In 2012/13, ChildLine counsellors dealt with 1.4 million contacts from children about various problems including, bullying, sexual abuse, violence and mental health issues.3
On average, every week in the UK at least one child is killed at the hands of another person.4
Children under one are more at risk of being killed at the hands of another person than any other age group in England and Wales.5
In 2012/13 NSPCC helpline advisors responded to nearly 51,000 contacts from adults concerned about a child. More than half of these were serious enough to warrant referral to local police or children's services for further investigation.6
Neglect is the most common reason for a child to be the subject of a child protection plan or on a child protection register in the UK.7
Neglect was a factor in 60 per cent of the 139 serious case reviews (where a child died or was seriously injured) published in England between 2009 and 2011.8

Does the DVLA database include cars that are no longer registered or have been scrapped?

Old? new? fake? unregistered? Who knows?

What haunts me in the amount of child abuse that's going on, and has been for a very long time.

It reminds of the saying that when good men do nothing, evil flourishes.

The situation is very disturbing.

Agreed, Focus

Which is why I feel it's important, as many others have stated on this thread, that disinfo is called out.

I'm sorry for derailing the OP's thread and wish I hadn't posted the article.
Maybe a whole new one should be started as per Ander's thead and leave this thread for queries??

Natural conversations are organic beasts.
SZ is littered with 'derails'. The discussion has always taken presidence over the filing

From what I gather, the conclusion regarding the OP is that TPV weren't adequately covering child abuse.
Not much more to say on that unless they change tack.

If a topic is not being discussed, it is not because of the presence of this thread, it is because of the lack of the thread dealing with that topic.
Open a new thread and remedy that.

Thanks Feather, I do have a tendency to go off track and yack a lot.
