EastEnders is about to tackle the taboo subject of child abuse with a hard-hitting storyline involving teenager Whitney Dean.
The 15-year-old daughter of Bianca Jackson will be involved in a plot which will see her struggling with the unwanted attentions of her stepfather Tony.
... John Grounds of the NSPCC said of the forthcoming plot: 'Programmes like EastEnders are increasingly helping to raise awareness of the hidden nature of sexual abuse.
Ah yes. The people in this country are completely unaware of sexual abuse.
... 'The NSPCC's work with the BBC on the forthcoming EastEnders storyline is aimed at ensuring the portrayal of child abuse accurately reflects the damage it can do to the victim, their family and the wider community.
Er, No. The truth of the matter is that more damage is being done to "the victim, their family and the wider community," by the BBC, the NSPCC and by programmes such as this.

Hear, hear.
Admittedly, stepparents (of either sex) are statistically more likely to abuse children than biological parents.
But it seems to me that the main result of this will be to perpetuate the distrust of fathers which has been wrecking families throughout the West.
And statistically, the adults most likely to abuse children are their teachers (because of the sort of person allowed in that profession these days), yet to the media, teachers are sacrosanct. Why not discuss the real problem, if they must carry on about child abuse?
Where is your evidence that teachers are the main problem?
There is no such evidence.
Most abuse takes place in the home.
Well said moshea. The media is never honest about the true nature of sexual abuse. It's little more than feminist propaganda.
I posted my comment under the article. I STRONGLY doubt it'll be published.
First of all, welcome back Harry. Great to see you up and running again.
This is really galling, this.
FACT. Mothers abuse their children at a rate about DOUBLE that fathers do. (And even that is rare.)
The BBC has an ulterior message -- that men are something other than human.
Here are the Child Maltreatment Statistics 2006
