Austrians hide their abuse of their children. In Ireland horrific abuse was carried out openly because it was “culturally acceptable”. Children were the chattels of their fathers and the state only intervened if the child carried out a crime. I believe this law was inherited from the UK where similar abuse has also openly occured. Let’s all start throwing racist stones for a worldwide crime.

Is it not the attempt to distance ourselves from the horrors, to pretend that they only happen somewhere else, to someone else, and that therefore we can live our lives without having to bother about anything other than ourselves?

It seems to me to be the other side of the same coin; the obsessive belief that child abductors lurk on every street corner is just as far removed from objective reality.

Of course, both sell a lot of newspapers…

Think they are barking up the wrong tree over all this.
How many crimes similar to this case go on world wide?
We just need one more like the Wests and shall we be looking to our wartime activities then?
In both Austrian cases, the victims are mostly alive, and if strong enough to survive incarcration, then surely strong enough to attempt to recover.
The West victims are mostly dead at the hands of the Wests, and the Jersey findings, what of them.
