Lord Janner I think is referred to in second post and I too can't read about the rape of a baby without a feeling of total bewilderment and horror.

Yes I saw his sister being interviewed last night - chilling and it happens over and over again.

No he isn't dead! He's free and living at home. angry

I share your sentiments Alea, but there is little to add - the man is dead but I think death was too good for him.

I am slightly surprised nobody has commented on the dreadful instance of child abuse widely reported yesterday and today, the death of little Poppi Worthington. Is it because it is too dreadful to contemplate and there is little to say that is not entirely damning?
Or am I alone in being unable to read beyond the headlines without total revulsion and sorrow?
