Now, she has published this but made no comment

Official statistics, published annually, show the amount of child sexual abuse recorded by authorities in the year. The problem is much bigger than shown in official statistics, as most crimes are not disclosed and/or reported.

 Most sexual abuse isn’t reported, detected or prosecuted. Most children don’t tell anyone that they’re being sexually abused. It’s a crime that is usually only witnessed by the abuser and the victim.
1 in 20 children in the UK have been sexually abused

 Over 90% of sexually abused children were abused by someone they knew

 Over 54,000 sexual offences against children were recorded by the police in the UK in 2015/16

 In 2012, there were nearly 30k registered child sex offenders on the register at that time. This takes no account of those unconvicted or who had come off the register

There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes

Morning all. The problem about telling lies is that sooner or later they catch up with you....... This is a copy of a response to one of  Cristobell's rants, submitted today, and which will almost certainly  fail to see the light of day. This would normally allow Cristobell to allege she has been abused or even that the posts she has withheld contain illegal material. Now - I really hate liars. I used to post occasionally on her blog, until I posted something she didn't like. She then proceeded to withhold my posts and lie about their content, so I took my clickbait elsewhere.

Police, teachers, doctors, writers, now all have a cloud of suspicion over them that they are paedophiles pretending to be ordinary people - invasion of the body snatchers, Part III. Nope, not buying it. What is your evidence that it is inflated, hugely or otherwise? I provided a statistic the other day showing that more than 100,000 men in the UK had convictions for CSA  at a given point in recent years You surely acknowledge that those with actual convictions represents the tip of the iceberg?  So what is your issue with an estimate of 700,000? Where does it suggest that ''...
