What about genuine safeguarding concerns?

Hq. I've seen a couple of posts in the last few days where there have been clear safeguarding concerns about children involved. Emotional abuse / neglect / physical abuse.

Can you guys as HQ do anything, or would you ever report a post on here to SS using the IP address or should we as a community if there is identifying information ?

Or should the threads be removed on the grounds that we can't do anything and therefore they are jus upsetting people to feel so powerless?

I'm just concerned over the last couple of days about posters kids and it seems wrong to me that things are posted that get others concerned and yet there is nothing we can do.

Perhaps it's just a sign that I care too much

A lot of them will be made up. If they're not, you can't run an anonymous forum where people might get reported to SS when asking for advice. It wouldn't work.
