Quote:As someone who has had counselling for PTSD, I do have sympathy for any such victims, as after my counselling I felt " relieved of my burden"...I never felt I had to go on national TV to achieve that state however....putting right ones own psycology is a deeply personal and private thing...hence why I also am very surprised at these claims and the huge publicity the victims are willing to go through.
Whatever trauma you have suffered it is good to hear that you have found some peace, and as you say have been relieved of your burden.
But back to Jimmy. This all happened simply because a team of documentary film makers decided to investigate rumours surrounding Jimmy Savile. The investigation was led by Mark Williams-Thomas, a former police detective who specialised during his time with the police in child protection and major crime.
You can read his own account of how this investigation came about, and why after initial research they decided to peruse it. Mark decided to investigate his first lead before the death of Jimmy Saville, unfortunately by the time he spoke to that first person Jimmy had just recently passed away.
The BBC had meanwhile blocked an investigation into Jimmy Savile by their own journalists. Mark was aware that the BBC had shelved an investigation in to Savile.

Quote:I never felt I had to go on national TV to achieve that state howeverThese people were abused as children. Those who spoke out were disbelieved and/or humiliated. The police failed time after time to investigate, or even to join up the dots from numerous allegations and complaints. Most of those who appeared in the film did so under the guarantee of anonymity.
Perhaps, they, unlike you, may not have reach "that state". Perhaps, again unlike yourself, they have not, until now, been offered that opportunity.
I think you need to actually watch that documentary Pitternator.
