Hi

i read an article on bbc about a program being aired about Huw Edwards being portrayed by Martin Clunes on Chanel 5, and thought there would be a good opportunity for a support link but I've noticed that the article didn't provide one.

A number of parents watched the Jimmy Savile documentary as well as potential offenders needing support would have benefited from an awareness saying tha help is there - even for the offenders - as a lot of continual offences take place due to shame, addiction, unawareness, and neurodivergence.

i know if we had been aware of stop it now then a lot of offenders may not be in the current position

Even when panorama does documentaries about decoys or the police units they never show any support activities that are preventing this - like yourselves

Hi Anxious Dad

I hate these sort of programmes/documetaries/news articles being published and do ask myself why do they do it and for what purpose?

I know Huw Edwards is a high profile offender but why does this programme need to be aired other than to incite deeper hatred of SO's? No thought had been given to his family who may suffer further as a result of this, I do find this extremely triggering and wound agree with you, about signposts to support not only from victims but families of offenders and existing and potential offenders.
Thank you for raising this extremely important issue in particular to the majority of users on this site who may find this programme not only triggering but extremely harmful.

Best wishes Katie x
