annbaker Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 And it would achieve just what, exactly? There's bits here and bits there but nothing is joined up so no real conclusions. My understanding is that the current inquiry is wider than just Savile but that is part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters to each and every child /adult that was abused not just by Savile but other so called senior and prominent people. They deserve closure. Savile's OK cos he's deid but they have to live with this. Ok the dead can't be tried but this isn;t just about his alleged offences. It's wider. Not ever been abused myself but know people (both sexes) who were and I know the damage it does to lives. In Savile's case they'll never be able to face off to him and tell him what they think of him but surely they deserve some closure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 'Closure' only if the enquiry findings accord with their wishes, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only those affected can truly answer that question. We can't see into someone else's thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Of course, and all of us must empathise with those who suffered. It's just that I cannot see how Public Enquiries help when the alleged culprit is deceased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wider than that see link http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/feb/11/justice-lowell-goddard-establishment-links-child-abuse-inquiry-truth-reconciliation Edited June 21, 2015 by annbaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's purpose would be to help you, but rather to formally inform you, rather than informally through the Red tops. On the other hand it could help the victims by receiving formal recognition through a legal process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
