Correspondence between FBGA and the Campaign on Behalf of Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers (FACT). The May 2004 web edition of FACT's magazine, FACTion (Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers Information Opinion and News), which is available here as a PDF file, included a piece by Helen Porteous entitled "Scotland Awake!" on page 2, and a letter from John Porteous headed "Not told of rights" on page 16. Having read these two items David Whelan sent an email to FACTion on 03/08/05 and received this response from David Sherwell, the editor of FACTion, the following day. He sent a second email and received a second reply the same day. Email from Michael Barnes, secretary to FACT, to David Whelan, 09/08/2005. History revision: How reliable are allegations of child abuse 30 years ago? by Fay Wertheimer, Guardian 29/11/06. Where have Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers (FACT) got their figures from that they can claim that there are over 100 falsely accused cases waiting to be adjudicated on? Email to a member of the FBGA from John Weeden the Criminal Cases Review Commissioner, 04/12/06. David says, "WHY IS IT THAT ONLY MR AND MRS PORTEOUS HAVE EXCELLENT MEMORIES AND THEY CLAIM THE VICTIMS HAVE IMPAIRED MEMORIES OR FALSE MEMORIES!" |
