Child given money by "Vicar" at school

is it possible another child has given them the money and they are trying to mislead you ? Sounds very odd and should be investigated ?

What is Mounday money?
Google says something to do with Monarch and charity. But posters have also said they received Mounday money as children?

Could different areas have different traditions of it?
North of the border I've never heard of it but that doesn't mean that its not a 'thing' in different areas.

Well, if the poster doesn't know what Maundy Money is that shows that someone, somewhere neglected that person's education.
It may not be that person's fault, so be a bit more charitable...

One of the most naive and foolish comments I’ve ever seen on Mumsnet.

I’ve reported things four times before they got deleted.

I’ve reported false cancer cures, so did other people, two days later it was still there.

I’ve copied Justine’s comment (about low level sniping) to the mods. They had no answer.

I’ve been in email contact with them more than once.

I’ve seen many many threads started by people saying how harsh it is here, how nasty some posters are.

I’ve seen distressed women here torn to shreds.

It’s a private business, now sold, or soon to be sold. If the people in charge are happy then that’s fine. I just thought I’d try to appeal to people’s better nature. Those posts are unlikely to get deleted. And that’s fine, they are a visible reminder to anyone reading that some people are here to lash out at literally anyone.

I’m too tired to report yet again with the aim of making this place better, it’s not my job. Ultimately I’ve stopped caring.

I won’t reply again on this subject, but have a lovely Easter (what is left of it anyway).

@NoCommentingFromNowOn I don’t report any more. No point.

That's like people saying "I don't vote because it doesn't make any difference".

One thing is certain that if you don't report/vote nothing will happen !

“Hi, thanks so much for the report. We don’t feel these posts are breaking any guidelines at the moment. However, we rely on people reporting any posts to us so do please continue to report”.

I’ve had similar replies to this many times.

I don’t report any more. No point.

Anyway, you seem to think they’re okay (I think) so that’s all good then. As you were. I’m sure they are scratching an itch for those who are indulging.

You could always ask MN HQ for the posts to be removed ?

I mean this very respectfully, is there any chance that the few posters who are squabbling could stop? Please?

???

And so are you. Very.

I know that DBS means they haven’t been caught. That’s not relevant to this. Also, a Pp pointed out that volunteers don’t have to pay - yet you’re banging on about it still.

I would think it’s very unlikely to be a vicar and if it is you should 1000pc report.
They received extensive safeguarding training,
as well as training around the psychological impact they may have on others. Ie, vulnerable people seeing them as an authority/ criminals trying to manipulate them etc.
They will absolutely know that giving money to children and asking them to keep secrets is something they should never do - especially if they want to to stay employed!

I'm shocked. This is our secret sounds so alarming...

Tell the school immediately, best case scenario is this guy is simply acting unreasonably but he needs to learn about safeguarding and that's beneficial to him in the first place.

Worst case scenario, I don't wanna tell. Really outrageously alarming. Scared to even think about it.

Contact the safeguarding officer for the Diocese, they will be available during the school holidays and should have publicly available contact details

Oh my god. Sick. I've never forgotten this guy, it was utterly vile. I sometimes think about him and kick myself that I had no idea, but I genuinely didn't. My radar for these things is good, and I've reported teachers who have concerned me, but this guy? Nada.

Ugh thats awful tbh, sends shivers down my spine that they live and work among as and we just have no idea. What a disgusting human being. My teacher was caught texting a vulnerable girl in year 8, had been molesting her on school grounds, meeting up in parks etc, and had planned to meet for sex at his home. He was like 60 odd its actually so repulsive I will never understand what goes on in their sick heads 😐

So true. I chatted to this man regularly in the staff room. He was interesting and funny. There was a group of us who had coffee together at break - not one of us suspected. He never acted suspiciously around the students.
It emerged that he had images of children on his computer. We all felt sick. We kept saying, how did we not know? But we didn't, he gave no clue.

My high school RE teacher was a paedophile (convicted) and its so sad because he was always the nice teacher that I felt safe with. You really just never know!

Oh, I worked with one and I never suspected a thing.

Call police immediately

Agree with most posters - it need to be reported to
safeguarding.
At best, the vicar was misguided, at worse he’s a paedophile- they do lurk in plain sight. I’ve never quite got over DCs’ teacher being convicted (outwardly cool and great teacher, inwardly downloading CSE).

@LouH1981 OP has already done that.

You absolutely need to inform the school because this is a huge safeguarding issue. Even if it is innocent, the school need to be aware. At best, as a person in a position of trust, he should know better.
Welldone to your daughter for telling you.
