[...] think this was a very wise decision on the part of Ofcom… After all, as I pointed out in an article at the time – when the whole debacle was at it’s height – of course the abuse of children happens in real [...]

The point is that violence and social evils like child abuse is being showed to a large number of children in this country. The humour and good writing in Eastenders makes it accessible to children who may not understand the full plot but enjoy the comic characters. My kids (6 and 10) absolutely love Eastenders and its one of their favourite programmes.
Parents know the content and can turn it off say the BBC but the fact is like me they do not. They think it’s on at 7 o’clock and its a soap so it must be ok.
We’re subjecting children to a form of abuse by continuing to show this program to children before the 9 o’clock watershed.

Well I wish people would get a grip with the story line with Whitney on East Enders its real life and it goes on every where.

I think East Enders were very brave to show these story lines and I will lay money on it that they are reaching many children out there with out even knowing it.

Some children might be scared to act on these issues but recognising it is half the battle. This may be enough for them to take precautions to prevent it happening further until they can get there head round things.

I should know I was one of these children who were abused many times and I loved watching East Enders when I was young and still do. If I had of seen this I would have tried to do something about it. I just didn’t realise it or understand that I was being abused I thought it was the norm and all families went through this.

I am very pleased of how East Enders is dealing with this sensitive subject and I’m not offended in any way shape or form and I have been abused and my view counts too.

It is hard to watch mind and it chokes me up at times but if it helps save the lives of children out there then im all for it. I don’t want other children going through all that pain like I did and after all that’s what this story is all about.

This is real life and weather we like it or not it happens, just like murder and rape and burglars.

You can’t change the past, but you can change the future and if we all work together we can make it a better one for all. By bringing important issues to our attention and protecting the vulnerable we can do something about it.

One person can’t change the world, but together we can.
