By Elizabeth Reimer, published 27/10/2017What the Coalition’s proposal is continuing to say to these children, many of whom are now adults, is that it is your fault that you are in the situation you are now in.

Find me, if you can, a boy or a girl that were not let down.
Children can be and are traumatised by adults, by other children, by animals and by other natural and social conditions.
The kids who were sent to Vietnam to war, were far more traumatised than those who were abused sexually. If I faced a choice between conscription and being f*c**d every day as a child, I would definitely choose the latter.
If everyone who suffered under traumatising people/conditions in their childhood is to be financially compensated, then we end up in complete socialism where everyone pays everyone: whatever trauma one already suffered, now we are encouraged to become thieves as well...
