I thought this might be the best thread for this.
7 years in the making, and finally released one of the most damning and disturbing reports that's ever been produced.
I was reading about it from various quarters whilst watching
Question Time, it's as scandalous as anything I've ever seen to be honest. The conclusion is that we've been monsters to our children; failing them everywhere and ignoring their cries for help. And no-one in authority has ever cared enough to address it.
And one final tragedy is that it was released today of all days. So it's barely had any attention in a political context.
The nature and scale of child sex abuse is "deeply disturbing", the final report of a huge seven-year inquiry says.

"
What this report chronicles is how over the last quarter of a century this country has experienced the horrifying realisation of an evil that has corrupted every corner and crevice of our society.
The question that we must confront is how an apparently civilised and cultured society could allow its children to be harmed in this way, millions of lives diminished, generation after generation, a cycle of suffering."
