Why did I ever let the MInistry of Children and Families convince me that I should call their "special" helpline to report abuse of children? It turns out that their commitment is to investigate within 30 days and they're not even managing within 90 days. Next time I'm calling the cops. That way children who are being physically or sexually assaulted will have the same rights as everyone else---to have the crimes against them investigated right away! I am not responsible for proving that a crime is being committed; that's up to those trained in law investigation and enforcement. As a citizen I simply have to report when I have good reason to believe a crime is being committed; it's the same as when I hear someone screaming in the middle of the night (or possibly day.)
Why did I ever believe it was O.K. for any government department to be the the only ones investigating their own decisions?
