Horrible Decision Leaves Survivors Seeking Help Exposed in UK

It seems ridiculous that this even happened, but apparent;y in the UK, it did.

Survivors of child abuse say they have received death threats after the chairman of a Commons committee released scores of emails containing the identities of four abuse victims.

In a letter to the home secretary, the victims, who have been campaigning for changes to the independent child abuse inquiry, condemned the decision by Keith Vaz, chair of the home affairs select committee (HASC), to place the emails which contain the victims’ names and disparaging comments about them, on the committee website.

Really? He thought it was a good idea to make public the identities of those trying to encourage the committee to seek justice for the abuse they suffered? This has been such a mess, I can’t even imagine how frustrating it must be to be in the UK and watch this unfold every day. Survivors deserve better.
