Campaign to end child sexual abuse
How can the police have the details of child abusers, and do nothing due to resources, yet millions are spent looking into historical cases. Yes, we need to look at the historical cases, and even more importantly we need to stop the abuse that is happening today. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/29/thousands-paedophiles-escaping-justice-warns-former-police-chief/
Once again the Children’s Commissioner is highlighting how much children are being let down – when will more be done. Read these reports. A government department saying it as it is. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/apr/20/child-victims-of-sexual-abuse-in-families-let-down-by-system-report
Whether you think they need a digital tsar or not, some help needs to be provided to parents to enable them to teach their children appropriately. There are some good ideas here. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/children-need-a-digital-tsar-to-combat-social-media-risk-wh3m3dz5n
Don’t be surprised when it comes out that this type of abuse is happening in other sports also. Just because they are looking at the historical cases does not mean it is not happening today. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39637962
When the abuse with the world of football came out last year, there was uproar – yet this is happening elsewhere – today as I type. Would an apology from the organisations help? http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/football-sex-abuse-survivors-should-be-made-by-law-to-apologise-2c2m2g9bm
There are now bids to extradict priests from Canada and Australia who have been accused of child sexual abuse at the Fort Augustus Abbey school in Scotland. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-39339978
It is great to see therapy being offered to all family members of the girls that were abused in Rotherham – we need to see this available everywhere. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39328913
This is something that all police forces should be doing – and not just the police, but all parents and anywhere that is frequented by children. They need to get this message. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-39315233
It looks like we are closer to the reality of rape victims not having to face their abuser face to face in court, and the new offence of “sexual communication with a child” may actually be available for use soon. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/eb849082-0c23-11e7-b7a6-9aaa955d37de
Where should the line be drawn on who is prosecuted, and what can we as individuals do to help keep our children safer? This article raises both questions. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/we-all-have-a-role-in-preventing-child-abuse-jhcrk7j90
