Quotedon't lounge around in the buff like my boys do (and I spend more time saying, "Put on some pants!" than anything else) -- but I've never refrained from changing clothes in front of them, or leaving the door open when I shower, or nursing babies without a cover. Because I want them to see what a real female body looks like. Because if I don't -- and their first images of a naked woman are the impossibly perfect physiques in those magazines or those movies -- what kind of expectations will they have? And what woman could ever live up to them?

QuoteThe actor had chosen to speak out, she said, after it emerged last month that an estimated 1,400 children had been sexually exploited in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. "I just wanted to go public with this, to say, we know it's rife but why are there not further investigations into other areas? It isn't just Rotherham, I'm sure it's not just Rotherham," said Morton.On Friday the widespread scale of alleged child abuse in Nottingham became clear when it emerged that 95 claims of abuse at 13 separate children's homes have been submitted to the city and county councils, while police investigations into five homes are ongoing.The actor, 37, who has twice been nominated for an Oscar,and starred in the blockbuster Minority Report alongside Tom Cruise, was first taken into care as a baby and spent the rest of her childhood in and out of foster care and children's homes. She had told social workers about "all sorts of sexual abuse that happened to me from a very, very young age", she said, but no action had ever been taken. She described one incident when she was 13 when two male members of staff at the Redtiles home came into her bedroom at night, removed her nightclothes and abused her. She was initially embarrassed but eventually told social workers, who did nothing. "There was no support, no offer of counselling, no wanting to delve deeper ... Maybe they just assumed I had been abused already, or was being, anyway." She estimates that 90% of her friends in the home had been sexually abused, though not all by staff.A few weeks later Morton told her mother, who took her to a local police station. Again, no further action was taken.
