A reader praises the Truth Project for acknowledging how she suffered at the hands of her abuser and the police who failed to protect her
Zoe Williams’ excellent article on the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse quotes some of those who participated in its Truth Project (What kind of society fails to protect children? British society. Here’s the proof, 20 October).
I am one of them, identified as Barbara. I was abused by a family member when I was 10 years old. The police found out about it and took me and the perpetrator to the police station. I was on my own when I was questioned and was made to feel like I had done something wrong. I felt like I was the criminal. I had flashbacks to that episode for years.
