Hmmm …
Barry Bennell has been been found unconscious: by his local police.
If you didn’t know? Bennell is the sex offender named in recent news stories: many members of assorted football teams youth arms have come forward to tell how he abused them as children, and used his position as a coach to do so.
Personally?
I think he’s been attacked, after these stories have come out.
Given the long term harm that child abusers do?
I can’t say I’m surprised.
And I can’t say I blame whoever did that.
~≈Ê≈~
While I’m on the subject, though … ?
I can’t help but notice that — according to the report about Bennell — various football teams have started investigating any historical abuse.
I also get the impression that most teams — now — have much improved child protection measures in place.
Which is good.
But?
I wouldn’t expect the various teams to say so.
But I’m wondering this.
When DID teams start checking for historical abuse?
I can only hope someone starting making noises …
After the truth about Savile came out …
