I went checked out the thread in articles on child sexual abuse, predictably the men blame the women.

The theme being pushed is; Women didn’t defend the kids.

Women let the children be around the abusers.

This huge percentage of men sexually abusing children and it is women’s fault. It is not the menz fault however for the way they have raised their sons over generations and it appears never to be the menz fault if a woman is abusing a child – must be some other bitches fault.

It is pointless talking to anyone whose agenda is to damage rather than take part in any selfless healing or fight for what is right. It is a horrible feeling I have that a female can no longer turn to a male and ask them for help without them considering it a point for their team.

I am sorry Dave, like Foxy about to lose her step-dad, you are suffering too long through grief and loss. I have spoken to other foster parents who have had their own child die.

They say it is less painful than DoCS ripping a child from you and forever going through the pain an uncertainty of not knowing how a child you love is being cared for, if they are okay or being able to tell them they really were treasured by someone. These foster parents know their departed child no longer suffers, how could any parent with a child placed in this system not be angry or in a continual fight to suppress the anger that comes with helplessness and panic.

This government’s shame is that it cannot look after the children they take.

This countries shame is that its government keeps the children quiet and allows others to profit from them.

The peoples shame is that they do not demand transparency.

Hear! Hear! Piper.

It is impossible to have any meaningful dialogue, let alone reach a consensus on the best way to protect our children while a subset of men continue to hold women at fault in an attempt to subdue women's voices - to discredit anything any woman has to offer on this terrible situation.

I agree that some women abuse and that some women could've done more to protect their children. However, the fact remains that men are responsible for their own behaviour - NOT WOMEN.

<< This countries shame is that its government keeps the children quiet and allows others to profit from them. >>

The question to be is asked is why? Why is the above permitted to continue? Blaming each other will not stop this abuse.

TPP
That is what I am now going to do my Son is dead he has been told that I am not his real father he has been told that the ex's boyfriend is his real father.
If the Bible is true then Jesus says "come unto me all little children that have suffered and I will give you relief"
I ain't no Jesus I am just me.
When I die I will go below but there will be many that will be keeping me company
I have suffered too long not only for what I thought was my son but for all the abused children(sexual, physical and psychological abuse)
so I will just bail out
Foxy I am truly sorry to hear about your step dad I wish you only good things in life
TPP I thank you for your decency and support likewise Huffnpuff and Eyeinthesky I thank you also may your Lord shine on you well
The rest I hope you have a good life
Child abuse can be someone elses problem
Bye from Dave

Here, here Piper and Fractelle!
Yes, we have a child abuse problem in this country, as many countries do.
No, it is not the women's fault for all this, nor is it just the men. We are all in this fight together and should put aside gender issues for the good of children.

I admit that I certainly don't have the answers, and I will try not to get so angry at others who feel it is females at fault for all the world's woes.
I shall try to just feel sorry for them.

suzeonline:"we have a child abuse problem in this country"

We have a bigger problem with children being physically abused and neglected.

As long as we focus on the lesser to the exclusion of the latter, then children will continue to suffer.

Hi To All The Forgotten Australians

I Attended The Memorial For The Forgotten Australians On saturday 19th September 2009, And Layed The Flowers For The Lost Innocents ,

The Words I Were To Say , That I Was Given Were ( I Lay These Flowers For The Lost Opportinities And The Lost Idenities ) , I Added These Words From My Heart , The Destroyed Our Evidence And Our Lives Thank You ,

After Hearing The Service And Being Apart of It I Was so Emotionally Upset ,

The Goverment Say They Have Put 9 Million Dollars Into Resourses,

That Maybe well and good for The Future Of Our Children ,

But That Is Not Giving Us Victims Who have Lost Our Homes And Faimlys , Fighting For Justice These Things Back ,

We A Lot Of us Know What I Said Is True They Have Destroyed Our Evidence And Our Lives And That Of Our Truth ,

I Was Hurt After Reading The Papers On Sunday Their Was Only A Couple Of Write Up About Us Victims , No Photo's Of The Day , Of All Those Who Were Their ,

So Have We All Been Forgotten Already By The Goverment And The Media

As We Are The History Of The Abuse Of Australia's Institutional Homes ,

Wether It Be State Or Territtories, Institutional Homes ,

Orphanages, Girls boys homes Remand Centres ,State Ward Homes , Foster Home, State Run Church Homes , Church Homes ,Out Of Home Care, And Many More ,

I said To Mr Rees On The Day The Lawyers For D.O.C.S. State They Destroyed The Records Of The Log Books Records , Proving A Case Mine,

Seem To Go In One Ear And Out The Other , So How Can Any Of Us Get Justice When D.O.C.S. Own Lawyers State This In A Court Case , Then The Courts Dissmiss It In Favour Of The State
