DD(16) has been following the media attention being directed at the Off Grid Parents with interest (and incredulity . . .). She's looking forward to reading what the MN Jury has to say about this latest development!

Oh god I needed that laugh

If you persevere with the comments - and they do get a bit samey! - someone has posted a link to her husband's Go Fund Me page - he wants 50k for something. Not entirely sure what - something to do with Bamboo and writing a book. No donors yet though - can't think why!
These two are clearly on a bloody wind up - aren't they? They must be!

Where are the comments please?

BambooBollocks

It's all part of the 70s revival ....

The comments are right at the bottom of the begging page

Breast feed for as long as you want but if you don't give your child pain relief or anti biotics when they need them you are fucking bastard

^This. And yy to the poster who said that breast milk won't cure tropical diseases. This pair don't sound responsible enough to take care of a hamster never mind children.

You're on the wrong thread.

I love the way they justify rejecting modern medicine by saying "we use breastmilk for eye infections and lemon juice for colds!" like colds and eye infections are the only things to worry about.

They'd be first in the fucking queue for antibiotics if their kid was showing symptoms of meningitis... or would they?

Mind you, I've heard enough Mumsnetters saying they won't ever give Calpol for fevers and pain, so nothing surprises me when it comes to refusing yucky poisonous medicine for one's precious children.

I would love to be self sufficient food wise if anyone fancies giving me a cottage and land...
The not vaccinating thing really pisses me off though.

Yes get over to the other thread - we're at 16 pages of outrage!

sorry squoosh, post reported....

Why did she only feed 1 child and not show pictures of her feeding the toddler?

You get to draw more attention to yourself breastfeeding a 5 year old.

Refuse modern medicine? They are going at some stage to end up falling foul of Social Services (and potentially with a dangerously ill child or even worse. What if their child developes appendicitis. Or meningitis?).

I don't understand how you can be self-sufficient but need £100,000 of strangers' money to be that way.

Also looking at how they intend to bring up their kids sounds like a nightmare.

This has made my day. Twats.

I love how they won't give their kids shoes, but wear shoes themselves.

I have just read their "begging page" and to me I actually wonder how they have got the nerve to ask for this money.

Ah of course its all part of the LOOK AT ME pish

Yeah they dont want to feel life and germs on their feet just the baby

I want to believe that this is some comedy act.

"I don't understand how you can be self-sufficient but need £100,000 of strangers' money to be that way."

Simples. If all of you give me sufficient money I won't have to earn it myself. See, that makes me self - sufficient.

If ever social work need to intervene here is a prime example absolute loon balls
