Yes, I realize this is essentially a thread about a thread and yes, I realize that everyone has had enough of BGT.
But having clicked on last night's thread I was to see the kinds of comments directed towards Holly. Comments such as 'You can see why she is bullied can't you?'
And comments comparing her to the child out of Charly and the chocolate factory.
All this based on a two minute clip of her on Friday night.
Now, regardless of opinions of her actual performance, or whether she did or did not have a tantrum, or whether people think the whole thing was staged, people seem to have lost sight of the fact that this is a ten year old child that they are putting down on a public website.
A child who, if she really is being bullied, will probably continue to be bullied after her performance on friday night.
Would people make such horrible comments about friends' children? Or the children of people you knew to be mumsnetters?
If not what gives people the right to make such horrible comments about an unknown child?

AIBU?
To be horrified and appalled at comments on mumsnet that have been directed at a ten year old child?
