Stop child abuse rot from spreading

CHILD sexual abuse, in all its manifestations, is akin to dry rot.

Dry rot rears its ugly head mainly in old brick terraced buildings. It can start with the slightest of leaks unseen underneath wooden floors, behind skirting boards, unseen or ignored, by the time you realise what’s happening, your woodwork is turning to dust by a web of predatory vein-like alien creepers that sucks every last drop of moisture from timber and masonry alike. The damage is done and in the majority of cases is irreparable.

The cases of manipulative adults taking advantage of children or teenagers while in a vulnerable position has left communities shocked to the core. People are left wondering what or where next?
