In the line of work I'm in, this isn't a surprise. It winds me up, makes me sick and I feel frustrated and angry when I listen to victims (survivors) who go to court and have to relive everything, listen to them give evidence and try and drag them through the whole horrid experience without them having a nervous breakdown in the process.
There are vile, nasty, evil people back in the day that did despicable things to young boys and girls in the past. They need to be caught and punished. Sometimes I don't think jail is good enough for these SOBS but that's just me.
There are vile, nasty, evil people who are still doing the exact same thing now. Everyone needs to remember that.
Are there new rules in place, new legislation for us (coaches, teachers, doctors, psychologists) all to follow. Yes. Doesn't mean they all f*cking do though.
It's happening right now, in our clubs all over the country, in fact the desperation for young boys (and girls) to make it into football in this generation makes it even easier now for vile people in positions of power to control them and do what they want with them.
Post is a bit heavy I know, I am sorry for that, but this is the reality we live in and it's one that make me want to both punch something and cry all at the same time.
