Hearing the trauma of media coverage stories breaks my heart, I feel compelled to not sit back and take it. I wondered if the LFF or others have thought about writing to their local politician to highlight the damage that media coverage on sex offences has on secondary victims, and especially where those offenders have children. It's been identified as one of the most traumatic elements of this whole sorry process and I wondered if LFF (if endorsed) could provide us with a template that as a collective we could try and start to encourage conversation and debate amongst policy changers?

Something needs to be done...

Also, the media completely negate anything judges may say to our people... for example my personal was told that he's a young man, he has a chance to go and rebuild his life... Well that chance has been removed by the local media reporting including his picture...
