I am in complete shock after reading your opening 'stop abuse' page.

I am the member of staff that the complaint was made about. I can catagorically state that the person who posted this letter is not giving accurate details.

I could not agree more that any form of abuse is diabolical and must be stopped but by allowing people to say untruths and publishing them you are encouraging people who need assistance in their lives not encouragemnent in their fantasies.

My life was turned up side down by the events which took place and i was deeply hurt by the allegations. Unfortunately, due to proffessional ethics I would not disclose relevant conversations with other proffessional bodies. Suffice to say they did not match what you have printed.

I too will be seeking legal advice, not regarding the person concerned but towards redress for the sites publication.

Yours Sincerely

Ex St petrocs Staff
