You may well be right. The Israelites only had to wander round in the wildnerness for 40 years before they could enter the Promised Land. While the legal option is not an option for me personally, due to geographic and personal history considerations, to those who feel that this will at least get them closer to the Promised Land of Justice and healing, I lend my full support. 40 years is to long to wait for justice, this should never have got this far and now the price to be paid is alas much higher than would have been expected if it had been dealt with properly in the first place.
This is not the accidental manslaughter of one or two innocent souls by a few bad men. It is the systematic murder of souls by a system that went out of control and stopped good men and women from taking the action that any member of the human race with a reasonable conscience would have taken to stop this level of child abuse, the tip of which we are only seeing. Who knows what else is out there, beneath the tip, I dread to think.
