Because You're A Woman

Scandalous

Seeing the great effort that politicians, newspaper magnates, journalists and anyone else who has enough clout to get themselves written about in the press, are putting into covering their behinds to avoid contamination in the phone hacking scandal; I cannot help but wonder what a great difference could be made to so many lives if they actually took their heads out of the clouds of that rarefied atmosphere wherein they all exist and applied as much effort in helping to prevent the contamination of childrens’ lives by sexual abuse.

Max Pemberton wrote in the Telegraph last week about the tragedy of the collapse of Southern Cross care homes.

In his article he wrote:”Those who are dependent on others for their personal care and well being are frequently in a uniquely helpless position in society, physically unable to remove themselves from terrible situations, voiceless and disenfranchised”

Ring any bells anyone? 

Thousands of our children are living this way - totally dependent for love and care on those who are abusing them, helpless with nowhere to turn, and no-one to turn to. And yes this too will have a detrimental impact on their health and well being! As a society, we must wake up,  open our eyes and see what is happening all around us - and then do something about it!
