Both Smith and Saville have one thing in common and its not their predilection for raping young people. Its that everybody seemed to know at the time, including official bodies, but nothing was done.
I appreciate that these events occurred a long time ago and peoples attitudes were different back then, but I simply don't understand how they got away with it for as long as they did. We can only try to understand what those boys went through. They were vulnerable, and abandoned and when they thought it couldn't get any worse, this monstrosity came along and took advantage of them. It revolts me but it didn't revolt people nearly enough 40 years ago to stop it happening.
I hope there is a full enquiry into the Smith affair, as is happening with Saville, and those people that failed those young boys are brought to justice themselves.
Maybe those relatives of both men should examine their minds and stop complaining.....crocodile tears it seems to me.
