To be thinking of doing this? Blue Badge related

[Bourdic]

On my FB timeline today up came a link to the Independent’s story on the possible extension to the blue badge scheme. The comments took my breath away with their hatred, bitterness,lies, misinformation about blue badges and disabled people! One of the posters is a member of a regulated health profession and has put on her fb Page where she works. The client group she works with are likely to be blue badge holders.. I want to email her employer in the morning about this - shall I?

I wouldnt as you sound like a stalker. You seem over invested in this. Is there more of a back story. Re the comments very hard to tell without knowing what shes said. As someone who works in the nhs i do know of people who are using bb and shouldnt be. I also know of people who should get one but refuse. My dm had a temp bb for 6 months following an operation and she always said just having a spot to park, get the wheelchair out etc was enough and she had paid for that. Some councils are now charging a small amount for bb spaces so its not always free parking but parking with easy access.

Unless her job is to decide and give out blue badges, then her comment does not impact her ability to do her job, so YABVU to think that reporting her would be an appropriate action to take.
Not only that, but you do not know the chain of events that may be set off by you reporting her for something so petty. It may be a little extreme but entirely possible e.g. she may lose her job, spiral into debt/depression, etc.

Based on what you have said I wouldn't bother reporting her. I have seen some very offensive comments relating to invisible disability over this news and if it had been along those lines I would report it.

I work for a health trust. We are told that if we choose to identify our work place on social media then we must be accountable for the comments we make and not bring the trust into disrepute. Obviously don't know the exact comment but a nurse should not be making disparaging comments about disabled people. I would think the trust at least and, depending on what was said, the GMC would be very interested to hear her opinions. Sadly this sort of attitude is not uncommon in health care (you'd think they'd be more understanding!) but most have the sense not to spout it in public

The GMC is the doctors union, not the nurses. Ok, can you post us the comment she made, we don't know what was said or in what context.

Also, there’s no context of when she posted. On a fast moving MN thread you can have dozens of posters making comments before you have a chance to post. She might have started posting before nasty comments were made with her not invalid point that the system is open to abuse.

No her comments were not the worst of all - more along the lines of casting doubt on the genuineness of some badge holders, saying it wasn’t fair that they got free parking

FWIW my local hospital has recently stopped free parking for blue badge holders. As a result, I don't think you can condemn someone for feeling blue badge holders should not have free parking, even if you disagree for good reason.

Quite honestly I would mind my own business.

She has done nothing wrong and people like you OP should be stifling opinions because they aren't perfectly in line with yours.
If her employment requires that she follows a SM policy, then she HAS done something wrong.
When you hold a position of responsibility then you CANNOT share any opinions you like in public, without there being potential consequences.

Would it be ok for a teacher in your child's school to post public comments about how some of the children she teaches are thick or the parents are scroungers?
