@PhilR_R @Mendelpol I deleted my first reply, as I don’t want a personal argument.
The problem of abuse has been going on for at least 10 years. It should not take an article in the paper by somebody who’s not a victim to prompt action.
And it’s a misrepresentation to suggest this is prompt action.
@PhilR_R @Mendelpol For far too long, the community has been deaf to victims. The contrast between the praiseworthy treatment of black members of the community, & the victims of abuse cries out for explanation.
Pretending everything has been done quickly is an abuse of trust.
@PhilR_R @Mendelpol It places organisational reputation over individuals’ suffering. It is precisely what I warned against in the article.
I agree @BoardofDeputies might not be the right organisation. But that doesn’t free it from all responsibility.
@PhilR_R @Mendelpol @BoardofDeputies I am exceptionally disappointed that a community civil servant should seek to deny the obvious. I thought better of you & the organisation. I invite you to reflect on the misleading impression given and, for the sake of doing the right thing, to correct it.
