Forum for child abuse victims without justice is 'immoral' - Scotland (video 85 mins)

"Offering child abuse victims a forum to relive their experiences without any chance of justice or compensation is "immoral" and may cause further emotional damage, victims told the Health and Sport Committee on 26 March 2013.

MSPs were taking evidence on the Victims and Witnesses (Scotland) Bill which will establish a National Confidential Forum (NCF) for adults placed in institutional forms of care as children.

The committee took evidence from David Whelan from Former Boys and Girls Abused in Quarriers Homes (FBGA), Jim Kane from In Care Abuse Survivors and Helen Holland and Chris Daly, who have petitioned the parliament.

MSPs were told victims could return "to the lion's den" where the abuse took place and relive traumatic experiences without any offer of justice or compensation at the end...."
