Wednesday’s child is full of woe. As we head towards Christmas and the New Year, children’s rights to peaceful upbringings seem increasingly jeopardised as today’s news is dominated by revelations of paedophile rings and systemic child abuse, as well as disturbing rumours over the true nature of Ebola.

From a convicted US paedophile jailed recently in Kenya to a UK doctor jailed in London over abuse of child cancer patients, as well as the thousands of African children orphaned by Ebola and themselves dependent on a controversial vaccine, there currently seems to be a synchronicity of horrors rocking the world. 

As a matter of routine, our world exclusive editorial each December has always devoted itself to highlighting the plight of children caught up in the world’s various vicissitudes.

 

 

However, this Christmas, in a bid to raise awareness and protect children, The Bridge Magazine is going to focus on the plights of sexually abused children, and Ebola’s orphans, as rising statistics for these two categories of victims have been much in the news of late.

 

Both Ebola and paedophilia remain highly controversial issues among scientists, academics and experts who work with abusers and victims of the diseases.

 

Recently, Scotland Yard released shocking figures which revealed that the “UK has 250,000 paedophiles”. According to the Keep Them Safe UK and Eire Statistics Database for Crimes against Children, published in May 2014:

 

“Over 30,000 paedophiles/ child abusers are now profiled on our database. More than 400 children are sexually abused every week in Britain, one every 20 minutes, a shock investigation has revealed.”

 

Meanwhile, on Ebola statistics, according to The World Health Organisation (WHO)  “Up to 23rd  November 2014

On sexual violence and crimes against children

The World Health Organisation defines paedophilia as “a persistent or a predominant preference for sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children”, adding: “The person is at least 16 years old and at least five years older than the child or children.

 

British and Kenyan parents are still coming to terms with sexual

 

On high profile individuals engaged in child sex abuse…

In July 2014, the Daily Mail online published an article by one John Hall, a whistle-blower who revealed that a “‘powerful elite’ of at least 20 prominent establishment figures formed a VIP paedophile ring that abused children for 65 years” in Britain…

    As is typically astute, this month’s issue is both poignant and also disturbing. These past few years I read with interest the issues Ms Rachel produces and am constantly amazed at her focus of issues, both within the UK, but the world at large. Brava!

    The “rumors” of engineered epidemics has been raised more than once, as AIDS was to have been created for the persecution of Africans, homosexuals and other “undesirables.” In my own opinion, hyperbole and falderal, but that is just me. I find it difficult that there is that much evil in the world; perhaps my rose-colored glasses make me this way. Conspiracy theorists can find man’s worst displays of humanity of which anyone could possibly dream. To say so with proven fact has yet to occur. I am not casting aspersions on anyone’s beliefs, but mine are simply that nature always finds a way to be resilient. The greatest threat to nature and the survival of the planet is the elimination of the human species. After all, we’re the ones that have turned the entire globe into a festering mess of one kind or another. Wars, famine, natural disasters and general abuse of each other has its limits; perhaps we’re reaching them.

    As for peadophiloa, there is absolutely no excuse for it. What sick-minded perversion of humanity is this “sickness?” No punishment is too great for the likes of those that would sexually exploit a child. These demons are akin to rapists; both of them despicable and intolerable. Locking them up is far too generous for them; the gallows be with them.

    Thank you Rachel, for another year of great reporting. Happy New Year to you and yours at The Bridge.

    Best of Life!
