NSPCC at Pride

And it’s worth stressing that it’s gender questioning children in particular who are put at risk by Bergdorf’s lack of care for safeguarding
It's clear that gender-questioning children are just the collateral damage in the quest for autogynephilic men to indulge their fantasies

They have raised trans on to a pedestal and decided that trans can never be subject to the same scrutiny and laws as the rest of society.

Quite. I’m starting to feel like the trans issue is so last year and the battle has already moved on to kink.

Why are the NSPCC so scared of what they obviously see as a possible LGBT backlash?
As a homo, when I did I suddenly get rich, powerful and influential? And my peers? Nope.
We would never have seen this level of pandering prior to the influx of AGP-bucks.

We've also got an odd kind of censorship: Pride, and Stonewall, and Pink News etc are all seen as default mouthpieces for "the gays".
I know not all gay men consider calling out wankerboy's actions homophobic! All the gay men I know, who have commented on it, state that he displayed unacceptable behaviour.
Where are those voices? Is Pink News the new Pravda?

Is there anyone we can get in touch with on the Royal Charter side of things?

The Queen? Maybe she could handbag the NSPCC board, knock some sense back in.

It's like a cult has taken over and they are just trolling everyone now

That's not far from the truth, they are on "the inside" now and are above the law, they can do or post what they want, and they will just to flaunt and show their are no boundaries.

And it’s worth stressing that it’s gender questioning children in particular who are put at risk by Bergdorf’s lack of care for safeguarding

The NSPCC are coming home with their tails between their legs.

Scarily appropriate on so many levels.

One would hope that some within the LGBT community would stand up for the purpose of the NSPCC which is the protection of children?

"Pride" is a profoundly adult organisation with a completely different agenda from the NSPCC.

Surely there are some within the LGBT community who put the wellbeing of children first and express that they understand the potential safeguarding issues here with regard to those recent events?

Dancing to someone else’s tune or - in the absence of any statement to the contrary - appearing to, is not a good look for a safeguarding organisation.

This looks appalling and NSPCC need to get a grip fast. As a bare minimum they surely need issue their own statement straight away, making it clear that they’re the ones in charge, not Pride.

Exactly.

I urge that people remind themselves of psychopathy, sociopathy and narcissism here. This may be with what we are dealing in some people.

And let's all just take a moment here to admire their brass balls to post a tweet about online safety on the same day, given rubberman and his escapades on the internet.

It's like a cult has taken over and they are just trolling everyone now.

I can't even find the words to illustrate how fucking STRANGE it is.

I completely agree. It's like if they make things as nonsensical as possible we will all just give up on reality. There is definitely a massive push to make kink/wanking in a children's charity appear like normal behavior. Those who disagree are bullies

Is there anyone we can get in touch with on the Royal Charter side of things?

Such an unnecessary sense of fucking drama.

Like the NSPCC's twitter request to followers to report 'bullying' (anyone criticising wanking at work)

This looks appalling and NSPCC need to get a grip fast. As a bare minimum they surely need issue their own statement straight away, making it clear that they’re the ones in charge, not Pride. And if any directors did agree to that excruciating Pride statement then they need to be shown the door - and publicly too. At the moment it looks like the equivalent of The Queen tugging her forelock.

Michelle that's what I thought and it's the type of language used when a truly shocking event occurs in terms of communities healing (the Christchurch mosque shooting for example).

Such an unnecessary sense of fucking drama.

To most ordinary people, this would be as incomprehensible as the official lionizing of Jimmy Savile. Did any poster know anyone who didn't think Savile was creepy and weird? Yet he was given free access to children by the BBC and various hospitals and charities.

I feel a little sick at this grovelling, pathetic, pawing at Pride.
It's so distasteful and needy. It is also absolutely nonsensical.

I can't even find the words to illustrate how fucking STRANGE it is.

So how do you challenge the continued holding of a Royal Charter if the organisation are repeatedly failing in the core brief it was awarded for, while doing something so fundamentally wrong as to fail children in safeguarding and defend employing fetishists publicly wanking at work (the work being supposedly child protection and safeguarding) and putting it all over social media? Behaviour, incidentally, that would get most people sacked on the spot from minimum wage jobs.

Dr Joanna Begent - you are ‘passionate’ about safeguarding and a Trustee of the NSPCC as well as leader of their policy working group.

What questions are you asking your directors about their application of safeguarding principles within your organisation? What action are you taking to intervene and ensure this charity, under your care as a member of the board, is fulfilling its duties to those beneficiaries named in its charter?

And if you are one of those (sadly all too common) trustees who waft into board meetings purely to use them as a networking opportunity, do you think that this organisations actions are reflecting well on you as a Trustee?

Because if I were in your shoes I’d be making it very clear that you are not ok with this.

@HumberElla
It's directly criticising the directors so presumably it's not a statement that was run past the board before being published.

There appears to be a massive disconnect between the board (who judging by their biogs are eminently respectable and have senior level safeguarding experience) and the organisation itself.

------------
But that statement from Pride seems to have been agreed with the board of the NSPCC.

"The NSPCC board has agreed to take the following steps in the right direction:"

NSPCC:

"How we're organised to take on the fight for every childhood
We're the leading children's charity in the UK, specialising in child protection and dedicated to the fight for every childhood. We're the only UK children's charity with statutory powers and that means we can take action to safeguard children at risk of abuse.

Our royal charter
We are governed by a Royal Charter and bye-laws, first granted by Queen Victoria in 1895. You can download a copy: www.nspcc.org.uk/globalassets/documents/about-us/nspcc-royal-charter-byelaws-council-regulations.pdf

(extract)
being Members of The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, it is, amongst other things, represented :
That in One thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine a Society was
established in London called “The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children;” that the said Society was not established for the purpose of gain, but for the purpose of enforcing the laws for the protection of Our youthful subjects; and that it would conduce to the welfare of the Society and to the furtherance of its objects if the said Society were incorporated by Our Royal Charter;" (continues)

NSPCC are demonstrating a repeated failure to prioritise & centre Child Protection

has anyone seen this article in today's Times, looks like Queer Theory could be making it into a classroom near you soon.

I suspect that there may end up with more and more kids simply being removed from schools and taught at home. Parents are not necessarily going to just let this all go along, but they seem to have no standing to object at all.
