HEALING FOR SURVIVORS STILL NEGLECTED BY STATE AND CHURCH

Ever since Groups were formed, due to their lack of being a professional body, lack of experience lack of education, lack of qualifications, survivors/witnesses have lost out on the true support they really needed to help towards healing.

Groups are still asking for memberships and are trying to inform survivors/witnesses of their websites and what they have to offer as a service to survivors. This is just not good enough behavior, it is not about the groups it is about each and every single survivor/witness who desperately need health and dental support,

We seem to find Groups promoting themselves as a support group, asking to be trusted to represent surivivors/witnesses but to-date survivors health has not been a main priority, by looking at the funds we see this, education, Counseling, Family tracing funds. There is nothing to do with health and dental funds, yet what have survivors suffered? The main fundamental human right, without health we have nothing, without teeth they cannot eat. Yet survivors are going to suffer even more as the Irish Budget 2011, has done it’s health cuts and dental treatments now are down to two fillings a year with no dentures. If the groups were doing their job by survivors they would have put these issues regarding health and dental care to the Government and the Religious both of whom got off very lightly as they are responsible for the damage to thousands of children’s health.

These groups claim there is always information on their sites on what they are trying to do, as if it is up to survivors to ream them, ( hey survivors/witnesses were uneducated and of age and sick ) Some cannot even read a child’s book.

The problem is there is no information in layman’s terms on how or what survivors/witness are entitled to regarding health dental treatments on these Group sites, because they have no knowledge of what survivors/witnesses are entitled to, as they never represented the very ( needs ) of survivors, if they had The Government and Religious would have been confronted with these issues in the first place and again before the budget is declared with cuts to health.

Healing should be first on all agendas, first in all meetings, first in all decisions, first in all funds, but with the damage done to survivors/witnesses they are having to pay for that damage themselves to the disgrace of the Government to the Religious and now especially to the very Groups who are just claiming to support survivors/witnesses.

“Groups”, if you were, are, professional, you would have done the job properly in the first place and seen to it that survivors/witnesses would always have their health and dental treatments free, and exempt from any Budget, you would have kept up with the News and forecasts of cuts to the welfare systems, in other words you would have and should have protected survivors/witnesses from these heartships. The trouble is you Groups, the Government and the Religious have failed the healing of survivors/witnesses of childhood abuse, so how can all of you be trusted, if you do not put these issues right now, and do not add them to a fund but to make it a *(priority)* that what survivors/witnesses are left they can have full treatments for their health and dental at the full expense of State and Church who should be trying to heal those who were effected by their neglect as children in their institutions.

All Groups have done is kept a lid on such matters paid by the Government, the Religious.

Now Groups are asking for donations, for who? for what? does not say exactly.

If there was only one redress then why so many Groups?

None of these  Groups have published in “Layman’s terms” nor outlined anything of survivors rights to healing why? there are no rights to healing in Ireland you have to pay for it, so survivors/witnesses are having to pay for the abuse they suffered by the state and religious.

Thus this is the shadow of the Irish Government and church alike, the cloak and its dagger, the abusive father and mother, the jackal and hide, guilt and power. The trail follows your paths and will always show the very truth on how you cared for those who were in your trust. It will be a milestone around your neck for what you did and how you allowed this abuse to take place and neglected to do the right thing by those who have had to live their lives by what you did, you have failed the vulnerable people of Ireland.
