It was all predicted by me 14 years ago. Don't misunderstand me; we all know there was abuse in Scouts, Churches, Schools, Foster Homes, Care homes, music colleges... add a degree of exaggeration, compensation, desire for sympathy, desire to explain away failure in life, publicity, media, revenge, greed - and this explosion was always on the cards.
Sadly followed by fewer teachers, priests, fosters, scout masters, youth centres, doctors...
And, inevitably, by a huge increase in child abuse.
Makes me scratch my head. It's so obvious yet nobody could see it coming (unless it happened to them).
