I've read through the thread, and there have been a lot of good points raised on both sides. It's very complex to try and decide the right way forward.
On one level, I see danger for ordinary people who make too much noise about this subject - you're basically sitting ducks. It's too easy for the wrong comment to be picked up on, and people to end up in court and end up with their lives blighted. Or worse - we've seen cases of people speaking out getting targeted for mental assessment. And if you rattle enough cages, how easy would it be for the authorities to manufacture a case for you not being a fit parent yourself, and take the ultimate revenge by removing your own children? Knowing the corruption that exists in the upper echelons of most establishments, I've no idea how to defeat that.
But that doesn't mean we can just pretend these things aren't happening & stick our heads back in the sand.
Miss Behaving's testament to practical assistance given to actual victims is very uplifting, and I applaud the people involved in providing that help.
I'm sensitive to both perspectives, in that on the one hand, my brother & myself were picked up by a pedophile when we were little. We escaped unharmed, but that was due to luck, and as a parent, the knowledge of how easy in it is for kids to be snatched has always haunted me.
If it weren't for the possibility of innocent people being burned, I'd happily vote in the death penalty for kiddy fiddlers.
On the other hand, I see people here constantly referring to freemasons as though they're demons in human form. My husband is a freemason, and although I don't much like him

much, it hurts me every time 'The masons' are pointed out as being pedo's and every other evil thing imaginable, because I know it's not true. I've said before on here that I don't know what goes on in the upper levels, but I do know that my husband is just a decent, boring, ordinary bloke, who is as deeply upset & disgusted as any of us at the thought of kids being abused - and not only is he innocent of these accusations, but he wouldn't associate with others who were involved in those things either. Yet that innocence doesn't stop people casting nasty aspersions.
Anyway, after all that, my gut instinct that a separate, dedicated forum is the way to go.
I don't think it's fair to put onus on the facilitators here to manage such a thing.
