To think that the mum on daybreak/lorraine was insane?

why would you bring your daughter on bloody national tv to talk about the fact that she has bad ecezma in the past, no confidence, and then to top it off, met up and kissed a girl that was pretending to be a boy?

This family have been in magazines and newspapers talking about it. Why the hell wouldnt you just leave it alone? I get that they may want to make people aware of gender swapping but I dont agree with that level of publicity.

anyone else have any opinions

i'd hazard a guess at £...

She's probably convinced herself that being so public will help her daughter but she's just caught up in the publicity machine and trying to pretend that she isn't loving it, or the money she'll be spinning off of it.

  1. Minutes. Of. Fame.

YANBU.

I can usually find the other person's point of view, even if I don't agree with it, but this. No. Totally exploitative.

Why?Because she's an idiot who'll do anything, even sell her daughter, for a few quid

The girls were subject to a privacy order or some such so the press couldn't report names/print photos etc but one of them waived her right to anonymity so she could make other young girls/teens aware of how easy it is to be duped/groomed via the Internet, do maybe it's not about the money - who knows for certain?

To be on telly.

To cash in.

Because she has no awareness of her daughter as a separate person, not an extension of her, or that she is entitled to privacy and to be protected from someone else telling the world a story that does not, in fact, belong to the mother, but belongs to the daughter.

In cases like this, I find the TV hosts equally responsible tbh

TroublesomeEx · 22/03/2012 09:44

Llanbobol anonymity doesn't line your pockets though does it? I'd be very suspicious of any attempt on the part of the mother to justify it.

The mother should be protecting her daughter, not cashing in on the back of her.

OMG I was just thinking the same thinking

not to mention the ringing of the lad/girl etc very overly involved.

when I was at school non of our parents knew who we were talking to. And if our rents asked us we lied :D
