Was Victoria Climbie sexually abused, though?

I may stand corrected, and I guess I could google.

It's a good point, Kerry. From reportage, it certainly seems to be a white man's disease. If this is true, it must have something to do with a white man's upbringing. That throws up much to discuss, don't you think?

Culturally, of course, it is possibly that this goes on everywhere, but that for some reason, it is not reported in the same way.

apaprently 3/4 are white and mostly female and this crime is rare among black adults and children

Desiderata · 09/10/2007 00:49

Do you mean the victims are mostly female?

pneumalifenewname · 09/10/2007 00:50

yes, sorry - according to quick scan of Home Office report

PanIsAGirl · 09/10/2007 00:53

and cod, your motivation to start this thread is........??

Desiderata · 09/10/2007 00:56

I can't answer that, Pan, but in fairness, someone might recognize the fella. The police have released his image in the hope that someone might be able to identify and locate him.

I don't buy a newspaper. I suspect that plenty of people don't these days.

PanIsAGirl · 09/10/2007 01:02

yes D., despite posters views to the contrary, I am all for "outing" sex abusers where possible - it means fewer victims - but this thread has no such intent. It appears as a pathetic attempt by an already "popular" poster to rabble rouse...this man has a common (and ugly) face that we all see every day. This isn't an image of one man. It's an image that any pitch-forkers might want to use against ooooh about 100,000 blokes in the UK if they have a dislike for them.

cod. Shame on you.

madamez · 09/10/2007 01:04

Culturally and historically it's true that white men have mostly been enabled or encouraged to see only white men as human (and anyone who is neither white nor male as property or an object) so there is probably a greater representation of white men in crimes involving the buying or selling of children (or images of children) commercially.

But the majority of child abuse remains domestic and crosses cultural boundaries. Because nearly all cultures have some sort of a history of regarding adult men as more human than either women or children (especially 'their' women or children.)

Desiderata · 09/10/2007 01:14

Hmm, I'm not sure, Pan. I'll have to sleep on that. I've just re-read the thread, and whilst there is undoubtedly some pitch-forking going on, it is, to be fair, directed at a particular image of a particular man, who in this instance, throughly deserves the sentiment.

I don't think that all men are dubious by any means. In fact, I think the society we live in today is very, very sad. A man would think thrice about helping a crying child in the street these days, and that is not good. I don't believe that, per capita, there are any more paedophiles around than there ever were.

One interesting question is thrown up by this thread, though. Whose children are these? Are they orphans? Have they been kidnapped? Is he baby-sitting them? Whose babies are these?

PanIsAGirl · 09/10/2007 01:24

ok.

This image fits two blokes that I can think of..not accurately, but enough to warrant a "line up" as it were...

do still wonder why cod starts this thread.

night.

Desiderata · 09/10/2007 01:25

G'night, Pan.

Speak to you soon.

I posted just a few weeks ago about a crying child in the street who appeared to be alone, and how I hestitated before going over to her, and only the fact that an elderly lady came over too made me feel "safe" doing it. Sad indeed.

Meglet · 09/10/2007 19:25

Desiderata - re: whose babies / children are being abused. I can only quote the article in the Observer but they are generally the abusers children. Not abducted, so presumably much much harder to detect the true extent of it.

I can only see this getting worse. If its right about the abused becoming abusers the we are screwed. The net will make it easier for these freaks to get in touch with each other

Too to add anymore. Can't think of anything constructive to add.
