Quotes

 * Paedophiles and predators are people. Not bogey men under the bed. Not Mac wearing flashers in the street, faceless and nameless. They are our family, friends and colleagues. They are not scary monsters. They are people who abuse. It’s uncomfortable to humanise them because we then have to face the horrors in plain sight. Headlines read ‘daughter’ not ‘paedophile’ to provoke something in us. Not for good purpose. But use it. Yes a daughter did do that. Daughters can be capable of doing that. Horrifying isn’t it? Face it and warn our kids.

 * I recently met with @BarnardosScot and @NSPCC_Scotland to ensure we protect our children, by being clear at who predators could be. They support my messaging.
