The Guernsey Press could do the island a favour by ensuring that a few free copies of Zibby’s full printed story are left lying around in the prison recreation area

The effects of child abuse are far reaching,leading to parents of the abused divorcing,parents unable to relate normally to their children.So the victims not only suffer depression,they suffer breakdowns in other areas too.Also the media whip up hysteria about abuse and you get innocent people being assaulted and accused of child abuse.
