Children benefit from people like Mairia Cahill

Congratulations to abuse victim Mairia Cahill on receiving the “Thirst for Justice Award”, which was so well deserved. She has pledged to continue to campaign for justice — particularly any kind of abuse involving children.

As someone who suffered physical and mental abuse for many years in school, may I wish this wonderfully brave lady every success in her fight for justice.

Children need people like Mairia.

Children first. It’s a simple concept. Children before country. Children before politics. Children before tradition. Children before pride. Children before canon law. Children before doctrine. Children before personal opinion. Children before the reputation of any institution. Children before God.

There is no argument. Children first.
