So Dr Hollingworth has been felled by the jackals of the media. They are chewing over the bones, but I doubt that will keep them happy for long. Dr Hollingworth clearly had thinking and language on child sexual abuse that are at odds with the current thinking of society. Perhaps other people will think and agree that no matter how much a child might appear to initiate a sexual relationship, it is the responsibility of the adult (especially one in a position of authority) to prevent the situation. From what we have seen, it appears that the GG did not see things this way. But will the media continue to campaign for an investigation into child sex abuse, or will they just move on to the next news story. The media is really just a mirror held up to our society, the tabloids are just an extension of the village marketplace where the women gossip about whoever is not present.
