An exclusive insight into the mind, thinking and ground-breaking work of sex-offender expert Ray Wyre. Contains an analysis of and insights concerning his book with Tim Tate, The Murder of Childhood. Explains why we should listen to children and how we can increase the chances of making them safe.
Charmaine Richardson's highly personal and revealing account describes how she was abused as a child within her comfortable, middle-class London home. It describes the `time bomb' for her and her family, something that led to depression, counselling and a chance meeting with sex-offender expert Ray Wyre, who she married in 1999. A large part of the book is given over to her life with Ray, his work at the Gracewell clinic and an analysis of his book, The Murder of Childhood (2nd Edn., Waterside Press, 2018) and the failure of politicians to heed his warnings about how we need to understand and deal with perpetrators. The book also contains the author's own views on bringing-up children to feel safe, comfortable and resistant to the devious ways in which paedophiles operate, including by the language we use with `little people'. Shows how the author was left to unpick the chaos of Wyre's personal life, his debts incurred in pursuit of his mission, gambling and the free-spending lifestyle that stood at odds with and was an escape from his intense professional commitment.

Charmaine Richardson is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who has pursued a variety of careers: counselling, home tutoring and funeral celebrant. She met and married Ray Wyre-the nationally acknowledged expert in the sexual crime field-in the late-1990s.
