Society at large complicit in sexual abuse of children - Irish Times

This article in the Irish Times is the author's thoughts on how society is also at fault - along with the abusers, the state, schools and churches - for allowing sexual abuse to happen. By not talking about the abuse and shunning those survivors who have come forward with their stories of abuse, society adds to the secrecy and blame that abusers thrive on. In this way, society at large is then complicit in the sexual abuse of children.
