I was also raised a Catholic. Remarkably, its a very easy going religion nowadays. Priests in particular commit crimes against children and the church's teaching very easily it seems.

Which contradicts and negates the statement you made below ...

No, it does not, BO. What it does is reinforce it. Catholicism is a shade of what it once was.

The problem being that paedophilia is not a 'sin' in Islam.

In your imagination perhaps. Like all Islamophobes, you know bugger all about the religion's real tenants, just what your Islamophobe mates have told you. If it isn't a sin, then why isn't it widely practised? Mmmm?

Ballarat is nice

Paedophilia doesn't appear to be a sin among white non-Muslims either, if our disgraceful statistics here in Australia are any indication.

Time to get real.


Time to start talking about the truly socially destructive problems that matter most.

One in five Australian kids being sexually abused leads to a stuffed up society of future drug addled, damaged, unemployed, violent adults.

Immigration and child abuse should be key election issues.

Any of you hear about Lone Wolves president being charged then bailed after being caught with child porn on his computer?

He's been bailed home to his wife and 4 kids.

We need to get real.

Just.....WOW..... If this guy hurts anyone while on bail, the judge needs to be held personally responsible.

He's connected with kidnapping, murders and even broke into a neighbors house, naked with a gun.

Bravehearts figures are based on sexual abuse before age 18, ,however these figures here are based on before age 16- which is still disgraceful.

Fact. We have a serious problem with child sexual abuse and child exploitation material in Australia, true figures are likely to be significantly higher.

[Black Orchid]

Many of the stats for child sexual abuse are taken from Aboriginal communities in remote areas and, as such, does not represent a true picture of 'suburbia'.

In 2015-16, 12,903 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were the subject of a substantiation. Nationally, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were almost seven times more likely to be the subject of substantiated reports than non-Indigenous children (with rates of 43.6 per 1,000 children compared with 6.4 per 1,000 respectively) (AIHW, 2017a).

Ignorance won't make it go away nor will passing the buck to any given institution or cultural group.

Child sexual abuse and child exploitation material is a serious problem in Australia, which impacts on us all.

[mellie]

The royal commission into institutional abuse was essential, though unfortunately has only focused on one area of child sexual abuse.
Institutional abuse.

We need a commission with far more scope which targets a wider range of abuse, sexual exploitation.
