I'd rather live in a country that treats ALL its citizens well than one that threatens to submit to radical, reactionary responses to emotive subjects, about which we seldom know all the details or all the answers.
Like all threads of its ilk a vocal minority purport to know all the answers, but are seldom seen or heard of when friends are in trouble, let alone despised denizens of an underclass created by self-interest and mindless adherence to politicised "solutions" rather than actively encouraging people to enhance your next-door neighbour's life. That's where, I believe, we have to start. Us, not "them". "They" don't give a fuck so long as you consume and spend.
What I do know is that the same people ranting about the "scumbags" harming and killing their children will making the same comments in 20 years time about the abused children (obviously not the dead ones) going on to live the same lifestyle as their parents and exhibiting the same level of sometimes violent dysfunction and disaffection and they will be saying that the things that happened to them are no excuse for their appalling behaviour.
Narrow, small-minded, vindictive and shallow is not a long term cultural choice. It's led us to the point where we are now where everyone has an opinion and no one has the time to positively effect change in anyone else's life.
I see a LOT of damaged people reaching out to others. I don't see many comfortably well-off, I',m all right Jack types doing the same.

Not many people feel very well off these days.
And you're right, I don't have much time. But I've offered help at an individual level, (the level I can afford) and been roundly abused by the agents whos job it is to provide that help.
Far, far too many systemic holes in our social support policies.
I don't actually expect 100% of our society to meet what most of us believe is acceptable behavior. At the fringes some of that behavior is unsavory, and not all of those who behave badly can be fixed.
All I'd wish is that recidivist seriously bad behavior it's discouraged. Not too much to ask is it? that seriously bad behavior isn't provided with endless oportunities to cause further damage?

"CYF was one of a number of agencies and individuals working with the girl's family - including a family support agency, a registered ACC counsellor, a court-appointed psychologist, the child's court-appointed lawyer and a child and youth mental health service.
"Sadly, the primary focus of most of this professional engagement was not based on concerns she was at risk in her home," Mackenzie said.
"Rather it was to help the young girl and her family to work through the sexual abuse she had suffered while previously living with close family caregivers. "Along with other professionals, we believed the family was genuinely engaged in achieving that goal."
"It appears we have been terribly misled and this has had tragic consequences. It is now emerging that a number of people deliberately concealed ongoing abuse in the home."

Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

I suppose when you get down to basics, it is quite true, though. Kahui family, anyone?

Sorry Jim - I cant agree with you.
Its not seen and its not enough but there are many many well off people out there trying to do what they can. Largly its done quietly because its not seen as a cool thing to be doing but happen it does.
Yes - more should be done but I'm sorry, society is a constantly changing beast and our current way of life does not leave much time for some things. This change does provide us with places like this where people can voice their opinion on these matters and I think that it is very important that this happens. Social standards are collectively set and its good that these matters are discussed.
Change happens slowly, too slowly for some of our most vunerable members as it happens. However I do believe than we are going to slowly address these issues and I certainly believe that there is a willingness to do so but like most of us, I'm not sure how. Thats one reason these threads have value. Sooner or later someone will have a good idea...
You know some of my current situation and trust me, reading this shit breaks my bloody heart and firms up my resolve to keep doing what I'm doing despite the cost.

I was thinking of you when I wrote that last line. As much as you regard yourself as "normal" you've had and continue to have rather more issues to deal with on a daily basis than at least a couple of people I can think of and you continue to get out there and donate your time, energy (what's left of it) and sometimes money to causes that most people ignore.
Stop selling yourself short.
