Why has 'Minor Attracted Person' replaced 'paedophile'?

@ImpHullaBaloo

You guys have no idea of what you talk about, do you?
Oh I'll bet you know all about it though.

Any particular reason why you're trawling through Mumsnet Baloo?

Is it a topic that has personal interest to you then?

Old thread being revived, poster obviously has an interest in the subject.
Yes absolutely.

@JellySlice

I wonder who is monitoring this thread, and what they are so afraid of that they have to shut us up.
Hard to imagine - maybe you hit a nerve with a child sex abuser, or child sex abuse enabler/apologist.

I know exactly why mine was deleted , and I could've worded it better but I was angry at the constant attack against women,children,our boundaries and safeguarding.

Not that they explained, I've just been around long enough to figure it out.

I've been deleted, too! No warning, no explanation. All I posted about was the issue of consent. I'm certain I did not break any guidelines.

Wow ... I hadn't noticed anything that seemed in breach of the talk guidelines. Confused
It might help if the deletion messages gave a clue which guideline was broken.

ComeOnBabyPopMyBubble · 18/08/2020 15:35

I got one too, I'm actually on my first strike. Oh well...

Deliriumoftheendless · 18/08/2020 15:32

Can I say there’s loads of accounts on Twitter that are supposed to be people’s pets, can I suggested they might not be actual animals?

Deliriumoftheendless · 18/08/2020 15:31

This is too wacky. I can’t see which of the talk guidelines I’m supposed to have broken. I checked the list and I did none of those things as far as I recall.

I mean it’s funny but also it’s not.

ByGrabtharsHammerWhatASavings · 18/08/2020 15:27

Haha me too delerium, and all I did was take the piss out of the guardian!

Deliriumoftheendless · 18/08/2020 15:21

I have a deletion? I’m one of the least controversial posters here! 😂

hoodathunkit · 18/08/2020 11:26

Isn't twitter supposed to be 13?

Why is an 11 yo allowed on it, posting pornografic/NSFW drawn pictures?

And if they're not 11, why are they allowed to pretend they are?

I cannot answer any of your questions as I do not know the answer

Obviously that account is disgusting. I suspect that it is a fake / troll account. Many thinks on SM are not what they seem

I would appreciate some brain bleach after viewing it.

Re the MAP thing

Something I have been researching of late are charities and other organisations working with sex offenders and people who pose a risk of offending. These organisations use the MAP term

I have extremely serious concerns about the organisation I have checked out so far.

I just wondered whether any readers have any knowledge of genuine, reputable organisations in this respect who also refer to MAPs?

ErrolTheDragon · 18/08/2020 10:42

That's what I meant mostly. An abused kid might not be able to access appropriate help (especially if the abuse is familial) and use whatever medium is available.

The SM giants need to step up and take responsibility if there are (or seem to be) vulnerable minors using their site. They should not be facilitating further abuse.

ComeOnBabyPopMyBubble · 18/08/2020 10:26

And begs the question why a child is using twitter or whatever.

And why Twitter allows it, especially the openly sexualised ones. It's basic safeguarding.

@TyroSaysMeow

Some of those "child allies" will be real. Compulsively replaying trauma is a real thing. Doesn't make it right.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 18/08/2020 08:38

The other thing we should notice and highlight is the use of Person in the letter P of MAP. More accuracy would be provided if they used the word Men but this way they hide under the blanket of ‘women do it too’. As we know, female paedophiles are vanishingly rare. Paedophilia is not an equal opportunities hobby and women are being used here to shield the truth.

@Alabamawhirly1

I'm rather suspicious of the accounts claiming to be child MAP allies or even asking for contact.

From what I've seen a big objective for the MAP movement seems to be lowering the age of concent based on the fact that children want to have sex not only with each other but also with adults. They are pushing the idea that with the right education and some sort of exam, children as young as 5 should be able to earn the right to concent.

Now as I, you and any other person that has spent more than a few seconds with a child knows, children do not want to have sex. Teenagers maybe, but they only really want to have sex with each other and that is already legal from what 13?

So the MAP's need child allies to prove their point that children actually want to get into relationships with adults. That's never going to happen. So I think they've probably made up a load of false accounts saying their child MAP allies.

I also fear that these child MAP allie accounts could also be fronts for the trade of CSA images that are traded from twitter.

This is my suspicion as well.

Fake accounts to let the "children" fight for them. Not just about age of consent and the very vocal "but I want to have sex!" , but also it's harder to argue robustly against a 12/13/14 yo that claims to be attracted to children. You're then the sick one .

I'm also sure a few are probably actual children that have been groomed into it.

The number of "children" accounts actually shocked me.. more than anything else on the adult ones.
