| "Get this inquiry right and it will be like a stick of Blackpool rock. You will see abuse going through every level of society." |
The Conservative politician announced this week that a new judge-led inquiry into historic child abuse will investigate allegations from before the 1970s.
But she said the public are yet to grasp the full scale of the scandal, with the allegations so far amounting to the 'tip of the iceberg'.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mrs May said: 'We already know the trail will lead into our schools and hospitals, our churches, our youth clubs and many other institutions that should have been places of safety but instead became the setting for the most appalling abuse.
'However, what the country doesn't yet appreciate is the true scale of that abuse.
'In my discussions with older victims and survivors and their representatives, I began to realise how abuse is woven, covertly, into the fabric of British society.
'During one of my first meeting with survivors, one lady said to me: "Get this inquiry right and it will be like a stick of Blackpool rock. You will see abuse going through every level of society."
'I fear she is right. I have said before and I shall say again, that what we have seen so far is only the tip of the iceberg.' (more...)
Cover-up no longer possible -- turn it into national theatre.
The time is now:
