BBC - Child abuse inquiry: Survivors accuse ministers of 'complicity'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-35535524

In Care Abuse Survivors Scotland (INCAS) welcomed the moves, but said it was very concerned about the attitude of government.

It called on the government to widen the remit of the inquiry to include institutions such as the Catholic Church which is currently excluded from its investigations.

In a letter to Ms Constance, INCAS parliamentary liaison officer, Alan Draper said: "The failure will result in institutions and organisations, who have covered up criminal activity, escaping public scrutiny, and prosecution.

"This has effectively resulted in the government becoming complicit in the cover-up of abuse."

He called on the government to ensure the inquiry's work could be as wide as that of Justice Lowell Goddard in England and Wales which is investigating abuse carried out within the Catholic Church and other religious orders.

The O'Brien Inquiry will investigate allegations of abuse carried out against children in residential care, including those fostered domestically.

Another survivors' organisation, White Flowers Alba (WFA), said Catholic victims were being discriminated against because the O'Brien Inquiry had not been given the necessary powers to investigate allegations of abuse carried out in parishes or day schools.

WFA spokesman Andi Lavery said: "Survivors continue to suffer. Why does a child raped by a priest in Cumbria, matter more than one in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Motherwell?"

He added: "When as children we said: 'No, please stop doing that!'

"We say together resolutely as adult abuse survivors: 'This current inquiry is not fit for purpose'."

At the meeting on Thursday survivors will also ask Ms Constance to clarify its position in relation to redress for victims.

Mr Draper said: "If damage is caused to your car, it gets repaired.

"What survivors want is for their spiritual, emotional and physical damage to be repaired, for ongoing support to be put in place, and for reasonable compensation, not just for the damage caused but for the lost opportunities."


Kafflik church and sporting institutions omitted from this inquiry, the SNP's special relationship with the leaders of this vile cult making sure their electorate is looked after, utterly reprehensible behaviour by the first minister.

Ignoring the irony there for a second, the fact that both the Glasgow bigot sides are have fans completely comfortable using child abuse for point scoring shows how similarly scummy their fan bases are. That you do it while trying to claim the moral high ground on the subject, only illustrates that stupidity and bigotry go hand in hand.
