Karen,With respect your family can't have it both ways - on the one hand saying well done to Simon for posting this on a public forum, on the other asking people not to comment if they don't agree.None of us are in possession of the facts, we weren't there. Nor were you. And before you say anything, do not take that as an indication I think the children, I am simply stating the fact that only those who were there know for certain what happened.Personally (and it's just my opinion) I don't think Simon should have started this thread for precisely that reason, none of us were there, and none of us are experts on what definitely does/does not constitute 'assault'. If your family were satisfied in their own minds that what the children said had occurred had occurred as they said, and your family felt that constituted assault, the matter should have been reported to the police and a solicitor, and not on a public forum. Each to their own, but personally I'd want to keep any issues involving my family private, and if I thought there was a genuine risk to wider society I still wouldn't be posting allegations about an individual on a public website, I'd leave every individual to form their own opinion based upon their own experiences.
