Yes the nurse fished a whole lot of eggs out of inside me days later which i am sure would have turned into a baby. Yes i knew what he was going to do to me even with newspapers covering my head. This had been happening the sexual abuse since i was a baby by many different men to varying degrees mostly drunken fumbling. My violent father vacant mother made sure i was too scared to open my mouth. Many highway 61 have a lot to answer for . So yes i was shoved under carpet by nurses doctors and me being silent never helped. Have a lovely day.

Over time I have watched many episodes, and wondered about the simplistic way the lives of convicted criminals have been portrayed. What is the objective of the programme? To warn us? To scare us? To inform us? If so, about what? How bad people are? Programmes such as BTD seldom create positive outcomes, especially when they are made by professionals from who you expect a balanced and impartial input. What we get is sad lives becoming sensational entertainment. I want to make clear that I do not condone the often terrifying crimes! I don’t think though that programmes such as BTD are helpful for the victims and survivors of the crimes, the perpetrators, or the general public. Life is not as simple as BTD portrays it to be; a villain and his/her victim(s). Normally there are a lot of people involved in the unfolding of a life. Each one of us plays a role in the lives of others – BTD could use its airtime to inspire us to be the best we can toward others, those who are struggling, especially the lost and lonely children who, with the right support, might have become caring adults. Unfortunately BTD seems to create only more hatred and pain. I see this as a lost opportunity.

I was not and am not 'defending' Peter Holdem. <br /><br />Holdem may be as dangerous and as irredeemable as Latta and Griebel claim he is, but that is no excuse for bad policing, bad science, bad television and bad journalism. <br /><br />Police who take shortcuts, who decide who is guilty and gather or even manipulate the evidence to prove that; media commentators who perpetuate untruths and inaccuracies because of laziness or an ideological agenda; members of the public who react with rage and hatred, suspending logic, common sense and common decency - all can and do result in unjust outcomes. <br /><br />I am not saying that Peter Holdem was innocent of the crime he was convicted of, and I accept that, given the compulsive nature of his disorder, and his criminal offending in the past, he would be a high risk of reoffending if he was released. <br /><br />The point I was making is that the BTD episode was not a balanced, accurate and impartial piece of social commentary; it was populist, skewed, inaccurate and biassed because - I believe - it had a political agenda. It wanted to manipulate viewers' emotions to a political end, just as the coverage of pending parole hearings by the Christchurch Star has done.<br /><br />THAT is what I am concerned about. <br /><br />Some people argue that unjust processes are acceptable when they result in a righteous outcome - i.e. a person who is genuinely dangerous and irredeemable is found guilty and incarcerated. The end justifies the means.<br /><br />The problem is, how do we know it is righteous given unjust processes can and do result in the morally and politically indefensible outcome of an innocent person being found guilty and incarcerated for many years? If we still had the death penalty or if the law and order brigade get their way and it is reintroduced, those people could die for crimes they did not commit. <br /><br />Some people can shrug off those injustices as just collateral damage especially if the convicted person is someone for whom they have no sympathy for other reasons - such as their race, religion, social class, criminal history etc. I can't.TeWhareWherohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404562552107366622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510314847287651429.post-45564916763767873042015-06-03T13:54:38.573-07:002015-06-03T13:54:38.573-07:00Are you saying that you know of a child who was ra...Are you saying that you know of a child who was raped and never told anyone but who realised who her attacker was when BTD was aired?
