Evra: 'I don’t want kids to live the way I've been living for so many years'

Patrice Evra, the former Manchester United, and France Captain has opened up about the abuse he suffered as a child. Speaking to Today’s Amol Rajan, Evra said it made him feel “guilty” and “scared about what people would think”. The “shame” he felt meant some years later when he was approached by police, he lied about what had happened to him. Evra has joined the campaign group Together to End Violence, which aims to raise awareness and end child abuse. He has also called for smacking to be banned. (Image credits: BBC)
