    What annoys me is that due to events of 40+ years ago some organizations are still tainted. It stops people volunteering to help with young people if it is assumed that the only reason they do it is to abuse kids.

    funny.

    There were actually some honest and caring people who were holding themselves responsible for any infractions.

    Unlike it seems in the BBC or the medical professions.

    The difference in the Savile case was that he was a big celebrity. So he was considered more untouchable.

    Hes dead now. Quite a few lessons have been learnt.

    Question - are there more lessons to learn?
    Agreed - but will we act on these lessons

    Its worse in places like Belgium and Austria.

    But also it was worse the further back you go when people in positions of trust could do what they want.

    I wish I could say that these days celebrities could do what they want so could all be shot - but it would be a lie.
