SHATTER THE SILENCE

This is terrible to see what is happening in our country.  But one should do something. What we really say is somebody else should do something. But we have all got an obligation duty here and it doesn’t matter whether we are religious or not religious but we all have got a moral duty to protect our citizens from doing this crime. What we can do is speak up, write up to MP’s. It’s time for action, we can’t just seat back and let just a few people handle this situations. They really need to be done by us as a believer in goodness. People come asking for help for them being victims of child abuse. But what can they do about it. But they are also very much afraid of coming forward because there are being prospect of them being initially ignored and later being arrested or charged with any kind of crime. This is happening and we can’t allow this to carry on. Those of us who want to come forward but is afraid to do so and it’s our right to be afraid because whatever the evidence might be if we happen to make allegations against certain people who the establishments don’t like; the sound the names of some of the people that one have made, the allegation against us are likely to be in trouble with the authority and they will give us a hard time. If we are to come forward just write to the higher authority people  for protection against anyone who tries to intimidate you which help include the police or social services, NGO’s or other authorities. The higher authority does have an obligation that the victim should come forward and they will be listened to but not necessarily sympathetically. However that’s what I would urge people to do for the time has come to take action on everybody’s part. Everybody who cares about the country, about the children and that time is now and everyone has an obligation.
