Professor Freda Briggs writes with great authority on one of the
greatest, hidden problems in Australia today. She is dedicated to
the cause of educating all who work with children so that they are
better equipped to keep children safe, assist in bringing about
justice for victims and a change in societal attitudes. Some of the
cases that Professor Briggs exposes are difficult to comprehend but
are very real and bring great shame on our society. Despite the
fact that child abuse is acknowledged and professionals are
mandated to report suspicions and disclosures, this scourge still
occurs and children are being damaged emotionally, sexually and
physically for life. Some even die. This exceptionally
well-researched book is shocking in its contents. Its intention is
to reveal what is really happening in our society and to spur
people into action to turn this shameful and complex problem around
so that abuse stops and healing can begin. It should be a
compulsory handbook for all whose work involves children,
especially in the legal system, all human services, schools,
pre-schools and foster care. It covers all aspects of child abuse
and neglect and presents case studies of acts of abuse and the ways
they have been dealt with in recent times. It is books such as this
that 'get the message out there' so that something is done in this
supposedly enlightened age.
