troll hunting? really?

[ParadiseChick]

They delete the thread for troll hunting?

Wow

Agree with alibean is there nothing mumsnet HQ can do apart from deleting this thread as well?!

I agree paradise. very very disturbing.

Ok, lets assuming everything you posted was true Sugarmouse.
Surely you shouldn't even have to ask advice, you just pick up the phone and report.
I think that's why everybody gave you such a hard time, according to your post abuse was staring you in the face, and yet you're doing fuck all about it.

I think its also the casual way she was talking about " judgey pants" as though she had seen a mum feeding her child a burger or something then went on to describe quite horrific and twisted abuse on many levels.

marking place for deletion notice in the vain hope of finding out WTF???

Surely if you notice a child protection issue, its a no brainer, you ring SS not post on a forum that is known for its troll hunting forthrightnes.

And most people know and realise you can phone police/ss and be anonymous.

Sugarmouse I hope you've reported to the authorities with your concerns.

Report back when you've done it.

I always miss the juicy stuff

Here's hoping the situation can be sorted if it is true (whatever it is it doesn't sound good)

Let's hope the OP has done the right thing and that little boy will be sleeping safely tonight.

No one is flaming you Mouse, we are just wondering why you are asking us what to do, the answer is obvious and it should have been done long before now.

I know this sounds awful given people's very real concerns but I really have to believe that thread was a work of fiction! I would hope no one could be aware of abuse like that and ignore it. It doesn't add up you'd post on here first!
And unless you were party to it, how would you know all that was going on?

Pray it was just some twisted idea of entertainment - from someone who doesn't realise 18 month olds rarely shout at people in the street! Even if it's at someone they know!

She's a regular poster, and MNHQ didn't suspect a troll...so...

I'm glad I missed the first thread, but if there is a little child in danger I hope you do the right thing and report what you know to the police and SS. How could you not????

MyDarlingClementine Spot on. That's (one of) the things that unsettled me so much about the original post.

Ok Sugarmouse, you asked if you should report, we have all said yes. But you haven't reported, what did you want to achieve with you thread?

I didn't see the first thread... But agree with Maryz.

Sugarmouse why are you still fucking posting about how you're not to be flamed/how you don't want the neighbours blaming you etc?

People said it wasn't real because, quite frankly, it is stomach churning to think that anyone with a grain of good sense/moral fibre would witness such horrific abuse and come onto fucking mumsnet to ask if she's being "judgy".

There is a medical condition, Munchausen Syndrome by proxy where the person recalling the illness or dramatic situation of another (generally a child) thrives on the frisson of nervous excitement and fear that it creates with onlookers.

juicy stuff

calm down you lot.
if it is for real, she knows what to do.

Unfortunately in some communities some of the stuff op talks about (drinking, porn, nothing to eat) is not considered particularly unusual.
Horrific as it is, and as easy as it is for a lot of people to see these things as abuse/neglect, there may well be some people who really do have to think twice about it.

But she's doesn't does she that's why she was asking what to do- even though she hasn't done it.
If you are a troll sugar then well done you've wound me up a treat

After 'that thread' affecting me, and others, so much. How come Sugarmouse you are posting in a normal unaffected style on other threads tonight? Your post has shook me up and made me very anxious that someone helps this little boy but your witnessing it and still posting on MN rather than calling.

Lets just hope MNHQ are looking into this Clutching.

Well?

Have you called?

Me too. I'm having to stop myself becoming teary in front of the DC's thinking about an innocent child out there right now in that situation, if true. I know it happens all the time but I've never been in a situation like this where its happening in real time right under someone's nose and they won't do anything.
