BBC Live reporterA council has apologised for failing two young boys sexually abused by their father and his friend for years.
Sam and Nick Smith have waived their right to anonymity to speak about the historical abuse they suffered in Kent.
Glen Smith officially adopted Sam and was abusing him from around the age of five in their Margate home while Sam's mother was working night shifts.
Smith also allowed his friend Arnold Bracs, a convicted paedophile, to abuse his biological son Nick.
A playgroup leader at the time, Smith never answered for his crimes.
