    What has become most apparent is that child abuse and subsequent inaction has crossed all spectrums of society.
    From schools, sports, care centres, healthcare, politics.

    Here we have 20 footballers who have come forward who wouldn’t come forward 1 month ago.
    When Jimmy Savile died one victim came forward. Within months we had hundreds.

    We must broaden our horizons and be vigilant however, must not become paranoid.

    Most people who work with children, are good people. Let’s not forget that.

    Bennell, who worked for Crewe, Manchester City and Stoke City, sexually abused young boys across three decades from the 1970s onwards.

    He was given a four-year sentence for raping a British boy during a football tour of Florida in 1994 and a nine-year sentence for 23 offences against six boys in England in 1998.

    He was jailed again in 2015 for abusing a boy at a football camp in Macclesfield, northwest England, in 1980.”

    When will judges learn that there is no cure for child rapists- Ever.?

    The independent reviewer’s first job will be to buy a rug. That’s what always happens when big business investigates itself for wrongdoing. Religions, TV stations, swimming coaches etc etc…

    Will people now give hell to soccer and abandon it like they did the Church? Unlikely. Such hypocrisy

    You make a very point.
    There is a report in the media that one of the clubs paid one of the victims to stay quiet while the alleged abuser was allowed to continue coaching while others were asked to ‘keep an eye on him’.

    If this happened in the church there would be 200 posts slating them.

    Surely organisations shouldn’t be allowed to investigate themselves and it should be left to the police forces – I’ll never understand the leniency with sentences for these crimes. These people should be locked away forever.

    “The FA is to investigate allegations of sex abuse in UK football”. I’m pretty sure that it will exhonerate itself from any official involvement in these allegations, same as it has always done in previous such investigations. Might as well ask the British royal family to investigate itself into any official involvement in the activities of notorious ‘royal titled’ paedo’s, I’d say?
