More compensation in Manchester child abuse case

It is confirmed by the Manchester City Council that 163 people will receive compensation because they are sexually or physically abused by a children’s home. These 163 victims were abused at three children’s homes, which were all part of the council's social services department, and in the period between 1950 and 1990. They are not the first victims in Manchester because there are another 168 people who were abused as well, but they already received their compensation. The victims must wait and need to be patient because it could take up to a year before they know the amount of compensation.

My reaction / opinion:
My opinion is that these 163 victims should get a huge amount of compensation. Although the huge amount of compensation does not take away the painful memories, I think that the victims deserve it. I also think that it is a shame that the victims maybe have to wait a year to hear their compensation. It is possible that there are even more victims of child abuse in Manchester, I hope that they all have the courage to go to the police and tell their story. As a future teacher, I would never sexually or physically abuse one of my students.
