I am wondering if the BBC's becoming more and more obsessed with crimes of a sexual nature.
Last nights Panorama was all about "sexual" bullying at schools.Now I know that you are going to say that this needs to be brought to the attention of the general public and in some way I completely agree but!
This has been going on since schools were invented and up till now was seen as part of growing up (rightly or wrongly) and I am sure we have all either seen it or been victims.
I do not have a problem with victims reporting these offences as and when they occur which,is the correct thing to do and offenders should be punished as with all offences.
The BBC seem to concentrate too much on crimes such as these and other just as serious crimes go unreported.
I think we are all aware now of the seriousness of sexual offences of all kinds and we all agree it is wrong as is bullying,and I think its about time the BBC informed us about other serious crimes in particular Domestic violence,knife crimes and crime in general.
This subject was mentioned on the news but more to advertise Panorama later in the evening.
I have spent a lot of time working with victims and indeed offenders and as far as the victims are concerned every time they see or hear things about these types of offences all their memories come flooding back.I find this unfair to the victims and although I agree there should be public awareness there are other important matters we should be informed about such as corrupt government officials and the like.
Does the BBC see itself as some kind of beacon or what?
Have they frogotten about the serious sex offenders that have either worked in high profile jobs in the past (certain top DJ's) and of course high profile "stars" such as Garry Glitter and Johnathon King to name just two,these were regularly seen on top of the pops and other BBC shows.J.K was even employed by the BBC.
Like I have said I fully support bringing things to our attention but not in an obsessive way after all,there are thing happening out there which could do with being brought to our attention.
For the record! I fully agree with all sex offenders being brought to book and support for victims but,I also fully support offenders of all crimes being brough to justice as well.
