High Profile Abuse Case TV Updates

ByCBG Reading Time: 1 minute

The BBC has obtained recorded transcripts of police interviews with paedophile nursery worker Vanessa George for its Regional Current Affairs Magazine Inside Out (South West England Region).

Also on the BBC, the Storyville documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired has been repeated following news of the denial of bail to the film director.

For British viewers, the Inside Out programme was announced at very short notice, but both are available to view on BBC’s iPlayer streaming site until the end of Sunday and Monday respectively.

  • What if we all need to dissociate?

    They are correct in adding that it exists on a spectrum, and while it may serve us when things are very stressful beyond our control, it can also become debilitating in its own way. Still, I think we all dissociate from time to time, and in our current social climate, it might not be the worst thing. We need to buffer ourselves and set boundaries that allow us to continue with our lives, even as things are messy around us.

    High levels of childhood adversity don’t have to be an early death sentence. We can, and should, intervene early in order to prevent many of these outcomes. We just need the determination and will to make it happen.

    Do we have that?

  • Blaming Social Media for Mental Health Issues is a Cop Out to Avoid Harder Decisions

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 3 minutes

    What I read in this matches what I see in real life. Some people spend a lot of time on social media doing things that are bad for their mental health. (Comparing their lives to the ultra-filtered images they see on social media, filling their feed with information that is bad for their mental health, etc.) while others use social media to connect with an online support network.

    Given that, the calls for banning social media use for kids seem odd, but they are based on that being the easy thing. Blaming big tech will never be unpopular, and there is a possibility that some people might be better off not using social media as much.

    I find this to be true outside of families as well. Whether you want to talk about a friend, celebrity, coach, or member of your local church, it hurts to come to terms with the fact that child abuse has been going on right under your nose. “Many family members find it far more comfortable…
