Do they?
Well, you wouldn't think so to read these reports. In fact they seem to go out of their way to refer to it as 'historic'. It's hard to believe it ever really went away. They probably just got more discreet about it.
Well, if you hit the 1st page of this thread on the Haut de la `Garenne children home in Jersey circa 2008, you can see that it's still going on and the cover up is still active. Add to that all recent and ongoing paedophile convictions (see The Needle for these), plus the various reports about this sort of activity during tony Blair's term in office and what seems to be perpetual paedophilia in the Roman church and you can only conclude it is still very current.
But yes, I agree, "they" want it to seem historic for obvious reasons.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
