Letter of Complaint to Ofcom
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this letter to express my concerns regarding the episode of Coronation Street that was shown on 16th January 2012. I was very concerned about the way the incident between the characters Owen and Faye was conveyed, it shows a lack of understanding of child abuse by the shows writers and producers. It shows the character Owen in a very negative light, and the scene in focus is shown before the watershed, it would have been more appropriate if the incident had been censored because it may have caused some viewers distress. Thank you for your time, i hope that you take my advice on board.
yours sincerely
Chris Thorpe
