A group of British MPs are calling for an investigation into past child sexual abuse cases. We are glad that these MPs want truth and justice about child sexual abuse. When the truth is revealed about the past, children are safer in the present and future.

We're less interested in seeing investigations of "celebrities" who abused and more interested in seeing investigations of institutions that have concealed or are concealing child sexual violence.
We hope this inquiry goes forward - fully funded and independently established - and that those at every institutional level are investigated. Officials should encourage anyone who saw, suspects, or suffered child sexual abuse to immediately call law enforcement and get help. And whether this investigation happens or not, officials should use their "bully pulpits" to repeatedly and compassionately urge every single person who saw, suspected or suffered child sex crimes to step forward, get help, expose wrongdoers, protect others and start healing.
