Re: Allegations about Jimmy Saville: covered up?
You are right about children thinking that in some way they are to blame for what happened......and if they do mention what happened and are not believed, then they 'compartmentalise' the abuse. This is a coping mechanism. Then years later the reaction to the abuse arises.....but who is going to believe them after so many years have elapsed??
