Child abuse in Ireland
by planetparker
Historically the greatest institutional child abusers were the Catholic Church. This was carried out with the connivance of the Irish police and the various local health boards. This had thankfully sharply declined.
Sadly child abuse, of a physical, sexual and emotional nature still continues and shows no signs of diminishing. Nowadays it happens with the knowledge and even participation of government bodies, probably the greatest of which is the Health Service Executive (HSE), who sometimes return children who have escaped from abuse in the UK to the very locations and environments where the abuse initially took place. \In this they are assisted by the Irish courts and legal system.
