Something has been bothering me in this thread, and I've realised what it is.

It is the amount of people contributing who wish to divorce the case(es) in question from thjeir complex and interconnected contexts. Initially a rebuff occurred from those angered by the association to (beliefs involving) 'witchcraft'. Then came others denying the role of Christian religion. Then others angered by the references to African culture and belief.
Have I missed anyone?

I tell what, I'm pissed off.
There are too many people primarily interested in arguing for their preferred political agenda on this this thread and too few genuinely interested in learning more about how to end this particular phenomena of child abuse in the UK can be countered. Thank heaven orgs. like AFRUCA exist!
