Don’t give in to abuse threat – professor

0541957.jpgIf remains had not been found at Haut de la Garenne the abuse story would never have come out, believes Jenny Kitzinger.

ISLANDERS should not feel threatened by allegations of child abuse, according to an expert on the subject.

Jenny Kitzinger, Cardiff University professor and writer of the book, Framing Abuse, which focused on media coverage of incidents, has done significant work on island-based scandals.

She said she had been watching the developments in Jersey and how it would affect the whole of the Channel Islands.
‘What interests me is that if they had not found a body, all of this would never have come out,’ Prof. Kitzinger said yesterday.

    Professor Kitzinger is significantly naive about island life. It happens and always has……

    … basically the “professor” is saying that if a victim of child sexual abuse is to be believed they must be dead, and their body buried and hidden! Is he advocating to paedophiles that if they kill their victims and hide the bodies that the truth will never come out ?
