Sex abuse is the latest expression of absolutism
Another front is opening up
Side by side with the process of the discrediting of the police operations derived from Landslide, another, not directly related but similar, front is opening up. There are movements in more than one country, including Canada and Ireland, for those falsely accused of sex abuse under government redress schemes to sue the governments.
This is an extraordinary, although in retrospect not surprising, development. What is most extraordinary and sadly ironical about it is that the people now driven to come together and sue governments are the very ones who were resolutely against compensation claims in the first instance, knowing the damage that they were doing to society and to innocent individuals, but who have been driven to this action by the rash actions of governments who rushed to pay so-called victims of residential abuse huge sums in compensation, going so far as to advertise for them, so that thousands came forward with hands held out. Despite a Canadian scheme being scrapped when its costs became apparent, the Irish government persisted to the point that it is now feared that the Redress scheme there may cost the country over 800 million Euros.
While it was highly rewarding for the ‘victims’ to come and claim their advertised rewards, the price for mainly innocent carers was that they were named and defamed. As with Operation Ore and the other child porn raids, many were broken and all fight knocked out of them. It is probably fair to say that most were broken and simply hid themselves away in a climate where to be accused was to be guilty.
Thanks to a few brave individuals, however, the fight back has begun. What has failed with the media and public opinion may finally succeed in the courts. One of the interesting if sordid aspects of the fight back is that some of the organizations intend to publish the names of solicitors who advertised for individuals to come forward and accuse their former carers for profit.
One fight-back project is a boycott of all those involved in major miscarriages of justice.
