Secondly, I would ask the inquiry that they only consider representations from identifiable individuals with an identifiable postal address. Otherwise the inquiry must be asked to consider all such interventions vexatious and indeed symptomatic of the cover-ups, distractions and menacing behaviour that the inquiry has been set up to investigate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591695769525894359.post-56507052249778739162014-03-26T06:48:25.764+00:002014-03-26T06:48:25.764+00:00The democratic notion that a free press is expecte...The democratic notion that a free press is expected to provide a balance of power should be an issue of grave importance for a COI, especially since there were mentions of abuse survivors taking their stories to Jersey's old guard media, only to be ignored. Mainstream media mistreatment of survivors is something simply taken for granted in Jersey, but the victims are still owed an answer (and apology) from all who were in a position to intervene and help, but didn't. Outsiders unaware of the media's aggressive cover-up complicity may wonder why abuse was not reported anywhere for so many years, not understanding the hopelessness these children faced, if seeking help. <br /><br />For the COI to be meaningful, it will have to examine the limited options available to abused children who could find no place to turn. The role of religious institutions must also be examined, as should the role of medical professionals who never blew the whistle on suspicious injuries, and worse.
