Dear MNHQ I am considering starting a sexual abuse survivors thread and I would like your input. is it something you would allow on the talkboards and if so where is the best place for it? I feel some guidelines, and advice for those in crisis would be required, and actually whether its a good idea that would bring comfort to people? I am also concerned about trolls.
Please could i have your thoughts on this?
thanking you in advance Thanks

Hello all,
Just to say, that we haven't forgotten you, we are looking into something for you but it's taking a bit longer than we thought. We'll let you know as soon as we have some news.
thanks

Hi all - I haven't seen the thread where MNers are talking about this yet and afaik, we haven't found a better solution to this as yet.
But if you need it moved to OTBT we'll happily do so as an interim measure. HTH
Thanks

I don't know if there could be a form of spin-off self-help micro-site, under the aegis of MN. Affiliated to, but not necessarily run by, that kind of thing. Maybe even run by the relevant charity?

That's a great idea baudetdepoitou

baudetdepoitou · 08/10/2011 18:34

It would be so much better to have this kind of group on MN than on FB.

baudetdepoitou · 08/10/2011 18:32

I think this would really be worth thinking about. There are other groups, too, for whom it would be fantastic - so people could "meet" on MN but then maintain a private group, inviting others to join as they appeared.

Being safe from journalists would be particularly important. It is so shite to be exploited by them.

thankyou everyone for replying, i do like the idea of a private group but not sure how it would work-is it all done on the private messaging? I am really tired tonight so i will re-read this in the morning and look forward to more input from mumsnetters and MNMQ

I would love for there to be a thread like this at the moment. But agree with the other posters that it isn't going to work at the moment. Which makes me very angry. I have got so much support from MN women on this kind of stuff in the past, and it is appalling that it has got to the situation where we can't have these conversations because the problems aren't being tackled. It's what MN used to be really good at. Sad

Hi Rhymenoseros,

Thank you for posting about this. It is a tricky one for all of the above reasons but a lovely idea if it offers advice and support.

We would suggest that you start a thread in Off the beaten track as this area of Mumsnet is not googleable BUT do bear in mind that it is searchable within Mumsnet.

We'll give some thought to whether there's a better solution or not.

Any other suggestions/thoughts on this please do let us know.

Yes, there have been lots of supportive threads, I have contributed to and been helped by many of them

But if anyone were to ask me if it was a good idea to post such sensitive info right now, I would say no

How long ago, arpeggio ?

We do seem to have found ourselves a relatively new sub-species of troll recently
