The last line is very interesting. "Healing of families".

Some of us have little left of a family, this nightmare has ripped them apart, pitted children against parents. Some of us have not spoken to our parents for a very long time. And for some of us it is to late, our parents are dead and buried.

But it is not to late for other families. If someone at the top of NTM had written to my parents years ago and said "The abuse was a fact, it probably happened to your kids, given that we now know that Paedophile "A" was operating in that era", they might have sat bolt upright and believed what I had been saying all along.

So recognizing that families need healing is a step in the right direction. Don't stop going in the right direction NTM.

Great example of why everyone in NTM needs to be informed of all abuses that happened (even if victims names are left out)! It might help parents believe their kids, might bring some healing to families!

Message to Captain of NTM - Titanic,

Have recieved your latest communication http://usa.ntm.org/historic-abuse-investigations, and am responding.

If you look down from the bridge you will see several tugboats, I'm the annoying one called BEMUSED, the others can tell you who they are themselves. You are in big trouble, we can see the gash and it's huge. Hard for you to see, but from down here it's really big.

What we can do is help you keep afloat by offering some good advice. This advice won't be available from your officers, because they have been trained to navigate and operate within strict guidelines. You need to be really creative and you need to move fast, because you are already on a lean and when the salt water hits the boilers it's all over! This might buy you enough time to get a brave emergency crew down below and start trying to stop more water coming in, or at least get the lifeboats launched.

Firstly, communicate with every family in NTM or ex-NTMers and tell them it is a fact there were paedophiles operating in NTM, and you strongly suggest they ask their kids if they are o.k. If they are good, if not get ready with the lifejackets and don't be stingy with them!

That will keep you busy for a while, have your radio operator standby for further instructions.

Now if you would prefer to chance it alone, that is your choice. Just do me one favour, get everyone on board to where they should be before the old girl sinks. Get the women and children into the lifeboats. Leave the paedophiles on the deck shuffling the deck chairs, stay with your boat, it is the honourable thing to do and leave the Australians in the bar singing "How Great We Art"!, they deserve their last drink.

I await your decision.

Bemused (The little tugboat that could)

Yes, Captain.

We down here in the tugboats can't hear what you're telling your passengers and crew on that big ship called NTM, but I do think it's time for you to let them all know, very clearly, in plain English, that your ship really did hit an ice berg, truly did sustain major damage, and that the Great Unsinkable may now be in grave danger.

Yes. Clear communication is critical.

Who was that arrogant man who said in unveiling of the Titanic that "not even God could sink her" ?

Well.....God is not mocked and that he showed the world.

Anyone else want to try it and see what happens?

Another thing, Captain.

This has been said before, but I'd like to say it again, in different words.

When you make your announcement to your passengers and crew, please remind everyone that it is not the tugboats which caused the gash that is threatening your huge ship.

It was the iceberg.

We are indeed swarming around calling attention to the fact that your ship is in trouble.

But if the ship is sinking, we are not the ones sinking it.

I hope everyone can keep that in mind.

Much closer to the truth, Gene.
The rest of you are very gracious.
VERY.

Notice that NTM does not admit to having done anything wrong. Nothing at all!

Courage? Not by a long shot.
