A mum joking that her 7 year old daughter “will probably just end up a prostitute”.

Omfg. Did you hear someone say this? Was it said to/about you?

A former friend would often make this remark about her daughter. It’s been playing on my mind because Facebook memories is showing me photos from last year when I remember her mum saying it and I felt so uncomfortable. Kicking myself that I didn’t do anything about it - if I raise any concerns now I’m fairly sure she will know it is me and will make my life hell.

No, not on its own.

That isn’t to say it shouldn’t be reported or passed on because a lot of lives have been saved because of lots of pieces to a jigsaw coming together. Person A reports the mum saying the child is going to be a prostitute, person B reports that the child used some inappropriate terminology, person C notices that the child has odd clothing choices … put together a picture slowly starts to emerge. But on its own, it is not a safeguarding concern, it’s a joke that’s in poor taste.

No, unless there's other context.
It's a vile way to talk about her child but I'm assuming it was meant to be a joke?

I don’t that it is a safeguarding issue TBH but it’s an awful thing to say and I feel really sorry for the poor child. Some people are just absolute dicks.
