You might expand it to other revelations such as the historical revision, the PBK persecution, the allegedly dodgy finances etc. A sort of Michael Moore of the BKWSU. Let the world look into their eyes, see their faces and decide or themselves as they talk about, say, Ranjana and Sharad's suicides. Do the documentary. You might even be able to sell it.So, to put the boot on the other foot ... what are YOU going will to do?
Firstly, if someone is shouting "outrage and castration and throw them in jail" - that's bluster and hot air. If I call it that, it is not logical to then ask me what will I do, I am not the one blustering and fuming. If Tom is trying to get a victim to come forward to testify, I am fairly sure his approach is not the right one.
Secondly, if you or Tom or anyone want to finance a film project, I am up for it. I am always interested in the facts. And a paid working trip to UK would be good. I am in Sydney, so not exactly at the scene of the crime or where the main players are. That is an approach I have thought of, but have no resources personally. I am sure if you catalogued your case you could employ a production company to do it over there. The industry is full of underemployed filmmakers and graduates who will work for deferred payment or even just for the credits, but you need a dogged producer. Of course, no one is obliged to talk to the camera, do you think they would?
Thirdly - if the state is not bringing on a prosecution - which it is not, a citizen can approach their local authorities with their evidence and allegations to promote the need for an case, or bring other civil actions themselves (that's where funding is needed). Or you can abuse a victim on a forum for dealing with their trauma in their own way.
May I suggest one simple approach for you guys in London if paragraph 2 and 3 above are unviable: find an established organisation that deals with child welfare and abuse issues and ask them to directly approach the BKWSU about the allegations of how they deal with, or have dealt with, incidents.
As for castration - like Cypress said, that's no solution. In ain't about the dick. The issue here is not about vigilante justice, nor about child abuse in general. It is about getting this particular organisation to want to change (willingly or not) the way it deals with inevitable human failings.
