In 1983 John Picton, an Islington Council residential care worker, abducted a 13 year old boy from the Elwood Street children’s home and took him to France. He is now deceased.
In 2018 ISN revealed that amongst PIE’s newsletters in archive, a May 1984 edition of PIE publication Minor Problems showed that PIE felt that it had sufficient sway over Islington Council to demand that John Picton be permitted to meet the child again.
