Ok, good first step. When do the prosecutions for physical abuse start?
As soon as individual victims dare to report individual perpetrators to the police. In this tiny, tight-knit island community. Where everyone knows everyone.
The police looked away from this for years, it's insane.
Because they too are members of that community, they too grew up there. Not trying to excuse their inaction, but it all fits the bigger picture.
Thats the neat thing, they dont. You just talk about them and never do them. We call it "bipartisanship" in the US.
