This has always bothered me. When you look at the dreadful cases of
Victoria Climbie, Shannon Matthews, Baby P, et al, not to mention the
hundreds that don't come to the attention of the national press, the
so-called "child advocates" remain strangely quiet.
What did they say about the boy whose father tried to "teach" him
boxing by beating him to a pulp? Or the young girl left to fend for
herself while her mother went on holiday? Or the boy chained to a
radiator and made to eat dog food and sleep in his own excrement? Or
the toddlers forced to hit each other while their parents filmed them?
Not a dicky bird! It makes me want to cry.
Yet a few photos of kids in swimming trunks have them foaming at the
mouth.

Agreed.
