Dear,
I am a great supporter of the NSPCC and, indeed, have contributed donations to the charity.
Might I point out, however, that, as the child of my parents, I too am a victim. A victim of false allegations of sex abuse. As are Cliff Richard, Paul Gambaccini, Harvey Proctor, Lord Bramall and many others.
You may not consider it cruelty. I can assure you it is.
Likewise many children of the falsely accused such as the Janner children. They are victims of cruelty.
The children of David Bryant - falsely jailed due to Danny Days lies, and Geoff Long, victim of his daughters delusions, and the poor man whose father found himself accused of 50 Shades of Grey.
A few celebrities have suffered too. Jim Davidson, Jimmy Tarbuck, Coronation Street stars…
Who knows whether Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris, Max Clifford and others were actually guilty or victims of the deluded, genuinely mistaken, greedy or fantasists?
Unless you believe the courts never get it wrong.
Did the parents of Ched Evans not suffer? Were they not victims? Was he not a victim?
Unless the NSPCC only supports a certain kind of victim, your response to the Henriques Report seems strangely one sided. Worse than that, it seems to encourage more liars, false accusers and gold diggers to believe you will support them.
I suggest you support all victims or none.
Or stop accepting donations from people like myself who genuinely want to help all victims of cruelty and not just those cherry picked by the gullible.
Dont get me wrong. ‘Nick’ deserves as much help as anyone else. The confused and deluded need our help and kindness too.
But not at the expense of less obvious victims.
Best wishes,
Jonathan King
