Petition Hold churches to account for eradicating sexual abuse

More details

The government should hold religious organisations to account for not dealing with the numerous sexual abuse cases that have occurred and continue to be exposed. They should be scrutinised to ensure they have sufficiently robust measures in place to protect children from abuse by those they should be able to trust.

When the Jimmy Saville scandal broke, the DG of the BBC was called before the commons. The churches should subjected to the same scrutiny. It's long overdue for religious organisations to be held to account for their appalling record of depravity.
