What does HOST mean ? I can’t find a definition online
It said ‘X is (child’s name) mother. NOT X so immediately remove the HOST warning’

SSH host key checking?

No it named someone else they thought I was a different person and put this warning on my file ?

The only acronym I can find for it means Helping Others Succeed Training - so could be some sort of parenting programme for parents who need support with the basics of childrearing? Would that make sense?

It is probably related to their database which has thrown up a warning which is not applicable to you.

I mean whatever it means, it relates to a different person, not you. It could be something as simple as a linking error on the family tree software. You could always ask them though?

Very odd. It said they had to remove the warning as it didn’t actually relate to me

One letter difference in names

Do you mean X is child's mother not Y? Otherwise it makes no sense to me .

nooooProblem · 28/09/2018 17:57

Yes sorry !

I would imagine it's an internal acronym for some kind of safeguarding alert
