The recent publicity about Air New
Zealand's policy of banning unaccompanied children from sitting next to men
is yet another example of the irrational fears that have pervaded our society
for the last couple of decades, PeterEllis.org.nz spokesperson Brian Robinson
says. That the Children's Commissioner
Cindy Kiro endorses such nonsense is extremely disturbing: She should resign,
and be replaced with someone who understands the importance of men in the
lives of children. The consequences of sex abuse
hysteria are damaging our society. Children are growing up with less
contact with men. The teaching professions are losing male teachers because of
what teachers have referred to as the "Peter Ellis syndrome".
The consequences for innocent men are devastating. Peter Ellis stands as a symbol of
the hysteria. Few now question his innocence, but he has not yet been
pardoned and generously compensated. PeterEllis.org.nz continues to
call for a Commission of Inquiry into the details of the Ellis case, but also
more general concerns about sex abuse allegations. Only then will New
Zealand be able to move on from the existing irrationality associated with
and harm caused by a moral panic.
