I'll tell you what else does no one any favours, people lapping up every salacious detail of any sex scandal that hits the tabloids and believing every word is true. Especially - as it this case - if it fits in with the agenda that posh people are inherently bad.
I hope that none of the torch-and-pitchfork-carrying hysterics on these threads are ever falsely accused of anything because only then will they realise how dangerous a situation that is. Every time I see another of these threads pop up and read posts from people beating their own breasts with grief and outrage, I remember the baying mob who besieged the house of a paediatrician and daubed her walls with anti-paedophile graffiti.
Incidentally, it is no secret that children in care homes have a rough time. If people put as much effort and energy into doing something about it that they put into talking about it, there probably wouldn't be a problem.
