I missed the thread.
Going by what's on this thread if it is true I pray the op is calling ss Hmm

waikikamookau · 06/04/2013 20:54

there were a lot of deleted threads. and then, poof, it was gorn

MarthasHarbour · 06/04/2013 20:54

Sugarmouse FFS stop prattling on about who to blame in this. Whether it be the nan, brother, local priest, postmans dog - anyone else who walked on by and turned a blind eye to this.

YOU know about it, YOU can do something about it. Why the fuck are you discussing the morals of reporting them on an internet forum.

Seriously, just phone the police.

waikikamookau · 06/04/2013 20:54

lot of traffic on those salacious threads.

MarvellousYou · 06/04/2013 20:55

Its ok to ring the ss and tell them what you know sugarmouse and also tell them what you have heard. They won't prosecute you and if others have been telling you about their homelife then your neighbours won't necessarily assume it was you. Don't be afraid to do the right thing. Millions of people would stand beside you and say you were right to report x

LayMizzRarb · 06/04/2013 20:55

Sugar mouse, just report it. The child's safety comes way above your needs and expectation that your neighbours may be a bit off with you. If they did accuse/intimidate you, you can ask the police for help. That small baby can't. By saying nothing makes you complicit.

catgirl1976 · 06/04/2013 20:55

Have. you. rung. them. SugarMouse???

NippyDrips · 06/04/2013 20:56

Oh god that sounds awful. Please ring ss.

ckwkatie · 06/04/2013 20:57

This makes me sad. Once again Sugarmouse, I WILL DO IT FOR YOU. Please PM these people's address.

ParadiseChick · 06/04/2013 20:57

I'm not expecting mumsnet hq to swoop in and take the child out of there

I don't think blaming troll hunting was enough of a reason to pull it. A reminder, tell people not to, pull the thread because of another reason, people questioning the validity of the op was the least of the problems in that thread.

Poor show mnhq, really poor show.

Oh, god. Sorry for the light-hearted comment then. Even if it was a troll, surely the content means a deletion message like that isn't appropriate?

Rainbowinthesky · 06/04/2013 21:00

Actually, I agree that it was right to delete the thread but not for troll calling reasons. The op got her answer loud and clear and repeated posts telling her to report won't make a difference. She will either report or she won't. I hope she does.

HolyMackerel · 06/04/2013 21:00

I am also shocked it was deleted for troll hunting when it either obv is a troll, or raises v serious child protection issues.

Also seriously can't believe the OP is now on this thread, still posting away on a public forum about it, instead of calling ss/police!

Freddiemisagreatshag · 06/04/2013 21:01

I reported the thread. Didn't post on it.

Sugar mouse. Why are you not phoning the police. Now.

If even a tenth of what you put on that thread was true you are, in my opinion, a poor excuse for a human being that instead of doing something you post on an Internet forum asking advice. Get the advice. And are still fucking posting.

I suggest you go and find your backbone. And do the right thing.

I was very guilty on that. However I completely stand by what I posted. I hope MNHQ have contacted the original OP Angry

MadameDefarge · 06/04/2013 21:01

the thread was unreadable with all the deletions.

MarvellousYou · 06/04/2013 21:02

Hiding this thread now and going to pray for humanity!

ParadiseChick · 06/04/2013 21:04

It maybe appropriate to delete it, but not to blame it on troll hunting.

landofsoapandglory · 06/04/2013 21:06

SugarMouse just ring.

With hold your number, and tell them anonymously what you have told us all on the other thread. Let SS take it from there. You don't have to give your name or tell them where you live. You don't even have to give the other people's name's, but it does help.

Don't fret about who's problem it is, if this baby is being neglected and abused you can not and must not step back and do nothing. Help the little boy, please. Or PM me, or someone else and I/they will do it for you.

Please, please, think of that poor, poor baby.

BadabingBadabong · 06/04/2013 21:06

Sugar mouse do you really not get it?
Do you really not understand why people are flaming you?
The situation you describe is so horrific that people can't believe it.
And I certainly can't believe that you have witnessed this happening and not done anything sooner.
To say you weren't sure if you had your judgey pants on about a situation like this beggars belief.

AliBean · 06/04/2013 21:07

Surely if MNHQ report something like this to Police they can easily trace SugarMouse via email address and pop round...so if it's true it gets checked and if it's not...lesson learned. I read original thread whilst feeding DS2, listening to DP reading DS1 his story...the idea that a little boy somewhere is being treated like that and a woman is typing a post online instead of calling police/SS/NSPCC is totally unacceptable and downright ridiculous. Call someone SugarMouse. Get off Mnet and do it NOW

sunshine401 · 06/04/2013 21:07

PM ME OP!!!! Before they remove this thread as well.

Wishfulmakeupping · 06/04/2013 21:07

Sugarmouse have you rang them yet?
Why can't you see the severity of this situation?!!
Fucking hell you are ridiculous sitting here defending yourself get in with calling them now stupid irresponsible woman.

ClutchingPearls · 06/04/2013 21:07

Sugarmouse why do you care about people on a screen flaming you, why are you focusing on that and not the child? deal with real life and come back and tell us you've reported and the flaming will stop.
