Australians in denial about child sexual abuse : Comments

By Barbara Biggs, published 21/9/2009

The media portrays child abuse cases as isolated incidents involving perpetrators who are fundamentally different to you and me.

I would contest you summation “Australians are in denial about child

sexual abuse.”

The evidence would support the theory Australians are

impotent to take a proactive stand in their personal circumstances to

face blatantly idiotic decisions by authorities concerned with child

protection

No one is in denial about Child Sexual Abuse Ms Biggs, though I doubt you have the intestinal fortitude to respond to comments on your article. I read in yesterdays Telegraph http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26100258-5007146,00.html

Six year old Naomi, who drew the picture, left, is among the *one-in-five* Australian children who have been molested.

Would Ms Biggs care to explain the *one in five* figure? Did Tracey Spicer just make it up? Its farcicle claims that 20% of our children are being sexually abused (or am I in denial) that damage the chances of those who are being abused from seeking justice, just as false accusations in the Family Law Court do. Then we have useless authorities not taking action when necessary as in the case Ms Biggs talks of. Inefective punishments cannot help either!

Ms Biggs seems to me to be the only one in denial here about who her own perpetrators were, who placed you in the position to be abused Ms Biggs.

Excert from Barbara Biggs' book "In Moral Danger" for some insight into how the author views all men, it is pure misandry. Yet those who placed her in a position to be abused were women.

I'm still staring guys back but I cant help buying into what I know is in their heads about me, I'm trying to assert myself on behalf of women but when I see the look in their eyes the whole thing f*#*s with my head, the more I have to look away, the worst I feel. Then I start noticing how guys sit on the bus, with their legs wide apart like they own the place when we women are all squished up, being polite, making room for other passengers, the more I hate guys for taking up so much space in the world, the more i hate myself for being such a worm about not meeting their eyes in the street.

the more I hate guys for taking up so much space in the world..
does this include or exclude your son Ms Biggs..

now everyone go and read Genesis 19

Australians are far from "in denial" about child sexual abuse, although I'm sure the current state of only mild moral panic is far from sufficiently hysterical for Barbara, since she derives an income from selling books and other material relating to the subject.

Like so many, her main motivation seems to be her own financial outcome.
"and did we tell you the name of the game, grrrl?"
"we call it riding the gravy train"

The 'National Council for Children Post-Separation' who provided the anecdotes used in this story is the facade of none other than our dear Aussie folklorist Barbara Biggs.

Clearly the reporter Tracey Spicer does not value her own credibility or future (people do check the sources, ynow).

Fortunately McClelland and co. can see right through such stories, as they actually have the real facts of cases at thier disposal.When they check Barbara's anecdotes with court facts it no-doubt strengthens their resolve NOT to go along with the father-hating Barbaras of the world. Lets not forget that Barbara's mum, as a prostitute, had different children to different fathers and these men naturally werent representative of all fathers as Barbara would have us believe.

Is it possible that mummy is making exaggerated allegations to get more custody? Or that Barbara is trying to push her anti-dad campaign by telling whoppers? To suggest that authorities are turning a blind eye to proven pedophilia is a monumental joke played on all the readers

Here is an article for your enjoyment. Notice that these are the only published Aussie facts ever given by the government regarding proven perpetration rates of BIOLOGICAL mums and dads:

I posted the same link on another thread I would say that you will get the same response here.
I am bailing out of the child abuse arena as talk does nothing
I have the paperwork that if brought against the Directors-General would find them guilty of criminal offences. Also Motorcyclemessiah on another thread says that he has equally as damaging evidence then lets get these DG's prosecuted then the next lot that come along may just think about taking a little more hands on(excuse the pun) approach
Doesn't matter what underling signs the paperwork the Director-General is the one guilty of the crimes as the Director-General gives their name to the document
Anyway child abuse is now some one elses problem I bail out talk does nothing so I don't know what the rest of youse are going to do about it but I have done my part more than some to stop it as far back to between 72-84.
Thanks have a great life from Dave
