What we talk about, when we talk about famous men harming children: - their "mental health struggles" - their "overbearing fathers" - their grief over tattered reputation - their inferiority complexes of not going to Oxford - their "BBC outsider status" theguardian.com/media/2024/sep…

There are NO credible mitigating factors for #childsexualabuse. #HuwEdwards made choices. He CHOSE to look at pictures of children being abused. There is no mitigating factor which makes this merely a ‘mistake’. It was a DECISION. Feeling winded and let down AGAIN that

Just 0.3% of Child Sex Offenders are convicted. Even less are held accountable for their heinous crimes. The legal system enables these crimes by failing its purpose. It continues to fail children. By not holding offenders accountable, it enables. #legalreform

Child Sex Offenders are not victims. Children are the victims. And they deserve accountability #HuwEdwards theguardian.com/media/2024/sep…

This piece from David Crowe emphasises the findings of the Childlight - Global Child Safety Institute index, namely that almost one in ten children are sexually abused online each year. In this context, urgent action by government to protect children from online harm is justified. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

I am deeply disappointed this bill passed today with no amendments. A Child Protection Register that doesn't protect children when it has continued to allow their perps to have contact with them, and more alarming- live with them. NSW Police Force @nswlabor @yasmincatleymp #auspol24

Darren Grimes Lynette Subbiah It's not 'Child Porn' it's images of child rape & abuse. Children are not Pornstars. I speak as a survivor myself aged just 7. The way we describe such heinous crimes in the media is really important.

The legal system encourages violent offenders to save themselves. Rather than acknowledging what this is, it encourages it. For the defence a lesser sentence is a win. For the prosecution it is a win. For the victim, they are gaslit into believing that's justice. #Pelicot #Rape

EXCLUSIVE: Deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley is being challenged for the seat of Farrer by none other than Michelle Milthorpe, who has already proven her mettle spearheading the #JusticeShouldntHurt campaign which secured a $64million win for survivors🧵 news.com.au/national/nsw-a…

If #MichelleMilthorpe could co-ordinate & deliver a $64.3 million win for regional children in NSW when NOT in office, imagine what she will achieve for regional Australians if elected! #RegionalVoicesMatter #VoicesOfFarrer #Independent

Very much this. For every high profile case, there are thousands and millions of cases of child sexual abuse which do NOT make it to trial at all (silence can be insurmountable), are not reported upon, are not acted upon. #CSA is a DAILY issue for many right now in their lives,

Courts are supposed to hold people accountable for crimes as a deterrent to others and to reflect the severity of the crime. It should never be a tool for offenders to manipulate to their advantage. By allowing this, it enables the very crimes it is supposed to prevent. #pelicot

Restricted hrs and maintain the grounds of the kindergarten. Yeah, it's not the restrictions I'm concerned about, but the type of resident who wants to live above a kindy. WTF?! And the landlord that thought this was okay.I'd be removing my kid asap. #redflag

We need to stop treating rapists and abusers as monsters. They’re not some rare breed—they’re lawyers, bankers, firemen, civil servants, police officers—enabled by a culture that protects them. Men who abuse women aren’t exceptions—they're everywhere.

Exactly. The idea that the worst , most dangerous men are the ones already in the criminal justice system is a dangerous myth. There are far more dangerous abusers walking amongst us. Often respected & in positions of power, the ones who can manipulate & evade the system

It always amazes me the incredible guilt someone feels for the hurt they caused another; after they've been caught. This excuse must be removed from leniency in sentencing. No, they aren't sorry for what they did. They are sorry they were caught #Pelicot
