[Osem]

There's one main reason why this abuse was overlooked and it's because the protection of these children was deemed less important than the socio-political aims and obsessions of those in charge. For too long we've been subjected to an environment in which anything said/done to contradict official policy with respect to race/religion/culture etc. is akin to heresy. That's the root of this problem and until it's tackled little will change.
