Two things from my side of the world:
About three weeks ago, a story across South Africa’s main media broke about a former teacher/turned journalist at a major media group who is accused of sexually assaulting boys at one of SA’s most prestigious boys’ schools, 20 years ago. Today he was named in the press by his victim, a professional person, and it was revealed other former learners have also come forward about the allegations against him. The case is now under investigation. To our horror, we learnt the abuse took place at my son’s school and my husband’s alma mater.
Over the past week our media has also reported that kidnappings are on the rise in the country. The modus operandi being to grab children and teenagers and demanding ransom for their release or be killed.
That is the reality of men and violence in this world, not just your country. This has been happening globally for years- just swept under a large carpet. Like:The slave trade is alive and well, they just don't all go chained together in long boats to work in them cotton fields in the Americas. It is an open secret in Europe. they call themselves'refugees' from countries they couldn't spell the name of.
Paedophiles, as we are now all aware come in all shapes, sizes, colours ,sexual orientation ,cultures, religions and professions. It is a sexual preference to rape /abuse children from babies to young teens. Many did nothing for the global sex abuse by Priests and nuns on a horrific scale!
The vatican being the christian church of Rome- after Peter sold the idea to the Romans to stop the lions killing the 'Christians'. Had eunics and vestle virgins- stuff the Romans approved of. :)
