Anyone watching? !! Can remember going to Florida in 2008 and my daughter was obsessed with Abercrombie wanting to try on clothes in their big store and worried that the sizes were too small …

Your opening post gave no clue that this was about young men being coerced, groomed, and sexually exploited, so hardly surprising that people were unconcerned about your daughter being worried that clothes might be too small.

Try explaining it better in your first post. Not everyone watches Panorama etc, and your post talking about an American clothing outlet doesn't really inspire wanting to watch it on catch up either.

In other words don’t blame others for not caring if you can't be bothered to explain.

Well the panorama program has been publicised on TV …sorry if my first post wasn’t clear Actually not sorry,am sure if I started a post about cleaners , education,housing there would have been more interest. Just hope your children are not mislead when they are older and have problems. I just started this thread as a caring Mum .

I thought it was rather odd. It was touted as a big reveal but was about a CEO of an American company who resigned many years ago and most of us have never heard of.

There was also the suggestion that the young men making the allegations had been involved in the porn industry or received money for sex prior to these incidents which may weaken their case

why was this a big mystery reveal episode and not advertised the normal way?

Find it really odd that MN generally very protective of their children,whatever their age and yet not interested about teenagers being exploited 🤷‍♀️

What is it about?

Young people being groomed by the CEO . Watch the programme on catch up.
Even though it was a few years ago parents really need to be switched on to grooming. My son was ‘scouted’ on Instagram a few years ago and I accompanied him to an agency in London. Am absolute con and young people being exploited!

Sorry it doesn’t interest people. I don’t use Netflix and only watch occasional TV …still think it’s shocking and sad that people are not interested!! 🤷‍♀️

Awful to say but I’m kind of getting immune now. It’s nothing new either I feel like I’ve seen it before.

PTSDBarbiegirl · 02/10/2023 21:57

There has already been a huge expose of this within the last 3 years, maybe Netflix. I don't think this was the planned episode.

somethinghastochangesoon · 02/10/2023 21:55

I am going to watch it tomorrow, what's it about?
