The family at the center of the Huw Edwards scandal expressed continued concern and frustration after the star news anchor’s resignation from the BBC.
Holding back tears, the young person’s mother stated, “In resigning, we are worried we won’t get the answers we so desperately need.” The move came 55 days after the corporation issued a public apology for mishandling their complaint.
The family had accused the BBC of failing to take their concerns seriously, and had turned to The Sun newspaper for help. The BBC’s subsequent independent review revealed that the original complaint was not logged and was only escalated after The Sun contacted the corporation.
The family’s plea for closure was echoed by the young person’s stepdad, who made the original complaint. He expressed anger at being left without answers and closure.
The BBC’s statement on Edwards’ resignation acknowledged the family’s concerns but did not provide specific details about the internal investigation’s findings. The family has emphasized that the BBC has a duty of care to them as well.
