THERESA MAY must leave no stone unturned in her probe into allegations of child sex abuse that runs through every level of society “like a stick of rock”.
Sun, March 15, 2015
Appalling cases have already been uncovered in Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby, Bristol and Oxfordshire. The Home Secretary yesterday warned there is worse to come.
Days after she named a new panel to head the inquiry into abuse in England and Wales, she warned the trail would lead “into our schools, hospitals, churches, youth clubs and other institutions that should have been places of safety but instead became places of the most appalling abuse”.
For too long complaints were trivialised, dismissed or swept under the carpet. Ms May’s comments this weekend show her commitment to champion this issue on behalf of the victims and survivors, who have had the courage to speak out to save the next generation of children.
Although it had a difficult beginning, the Home Secretary now has confidence in the inquiry to get to the truth. However it is important that it does not take too long.
