To wonder why Glasgow Satantic ring isn't headline news?!

Not often i'm speechless.

How is this buried within the news?! Should this not be headline?

It's beyond disturbing.

Those poor children

absolutely batshit take

Maybe because no one has yet been found guilty and as essentially this case is about child abuse the victims have a right to anonymity and privacy. There is a very good reason family courts operate in this way- although I am aware there is opposition to this. I am in England, Scottish law is different.

However as someone who has worked in Child Protection for nearly two decades, unless a child has died, there will be very limited reporting. The children involved have been through enough without sensationalist reporting and the goulish public believing they are entitled to know the ins/outs or have a podcast available.

@willstarttomorrow they have now been found guilty but there is nothing unusual about they way this horrible case has been reported and there has been no conspiracy to hide anything as some were suggested at the time of the arrests.

Oh good lord

i would love to quote lots of the above but for clarity.

1. this is a child abuse ring, dealt with thankfully as less glamorously (sorry for the grammar) as possible. This protects the poor children. Witchcraft in this case is just a distraction to what really went on. It’s not hidden, it’s just not publicised thankfully.
2. we don’t have a witchcraft problem in Scotland 🙄. The witch trials from the deep dark past were again a distraction, that time it was about the subjugation of women, women who were starting to be heard, that was quickly taken care of. If you check your witchcraft history, you might find that globally witchcraft was generally about putting women in their place and control.
3. Scotland does not have legal witchcraft or legal child abuse or legal abuse of women. It’s not any less safe than anywhere else in the U.K. in fact I feel much safer here than in many English, NI and Welsh cities. That comment about women not being safe in Scotland is just agenda pushing and has no place in a post about this awful crime against those poor children.
