AIBU that mumsnet should intervene in a child protection post?

@TrippyMcTrapFace

This topic is covered in MN Talk guidelines. This is a copy and paste :

"A note about disclosures of abuse

We urge all our members to point anyone disclosing abuse to the appropriate authorities and/or seek professional support and advice in real life. We have a directory of suitable organisations here. We may also, where appropriate, post on the relevant discussion thread and link to these resources ourselves.

As we set out in our Privacy policy, we do not, as a rule, pass on any of the information you have registered with us, unless you specifically consent to us doing so or we are specifically required to by law. However, on rare occasions where there appears to be a clear need to safeguard the welfare of a Mumsnetter and/or his/her family, it may be necessary to contact relevant authorities about a clearly identifiable member and his/her posts on Mumsnet.

Thanks Trippy and all for your contributions.
We do not, as standard report things automatically unless there is a clear need to safeguard the welfare of a MNetter and/or his/her family. This is very rare but we will do it if absolutely necessary.

Most of the time folks are brilliant at offering support and advice and signposting people to RL help and we do either via email or on the thread if the thread is reported to us (otherwise we don't see it).

As others have said, we are never 100% sure that what is written is the truth and so we do err on the side of caution.

Mumsnet is an anonymous forum and we hold very little data, which would make it very hard to track folks down but the police are able to only in the most urgent of circumstance which, thankfully is very very rare on Mumsnet.

We hope that this helps.
