To clarify - I would be shouting as an adult who knew the abuse was going on, not as the terrified child victim or that victim as an adult
Would you? Bollocks! After having been used and abused as a child, and in a society which blames the victim and attacks the whistle blower. Nobody listened when people spoke out at the time, why would anybody care in the future, the matter had already been dealt with, had it not?
The funny thing is, Jimmy Savile, it would appear is possibly, if not probably the biggest paedophile and rapist that has ever come to our attention. There are dozens of victims. Wouldn't we better asking why they were, time after time, not able to come forward and/or their allegations repeatedly dismissed.
Posturing is easy, and words are cheap.
What people are doing here is attacking the victims. Yet again the victims are being attacked.
Where was the shouting is exactly my point - if Rantzen and her other BBC cronies knew this was happening, why didn't they blow the whistle?
We are going round in circles. Rantzen had heard rumours. You cannot whistle blow on a rumour.
The answer - they were too busy sucking on the BBC's corporate teat and lining their own pockets while knowing full well child abuse was going on under their noses and at the same time becoming heads of institutions like Childline to placate their guilt.
Those who do something, will always be attacked by those who do nothing. Don't we just hate anybody who dares to make progress on sensitive issues. Rantzen heard rumours, she had no facts, no evidence, nothing, zip, ziltch, that could be acted on.
That's who the investigation is for, prove the abuse and prosecute the bastards that stood back and did nothing.
No it is not. It is not to find guilty people who heard rumours or gossip. To suggest so is, to put it mildly, stupid.
