AIBU?

Father lists his job description as paedophile hunter when registering his babies birth

106 replies

I saw this today on Facebook.

One of the self styled paedophile hunters who track down potential groomers online has listed his job description as paedophile hunter when registering his new babies birth. He posted a photo of that section on the BC to show that he'd done it.

AIBU to say this is bloody ridiculous and shouldn't be allowed?

OP posts:

Plenty of instances of people who claim to be oh so anti something, like the hunters, turning out to be perpetrators themselves

Maybe insert hunters comment as I have Dramatical, honestly, the PP agrees with you, just said it differently.

Don't believe the OP is telling the truth here either and also can't bloody stand these stupid hunters, they do ruin lives, and should leave detective work to the police!

Dramatical the other poster is saying that the hunters are the 'anti something' people - in that they are loudly anti paedophile in what they say and do, and it makes her weary of them. She tried to explain, don't be deliberately obtuse!

64sNewName · 19/03/2019 09:23

Dramatical, she is saying the vigilantes are “oh so anti” paedophiles. They protest so loudly against paedophiles that they seem a little bit too fixated on paedophilia.

Me thinks Dramatical protests too much... maybe they’re a paedophile hunter hunter

64sNewName · 19/03/2019 09:25

I need some coffee

VanGoghsDog · 19/03/2019 09:27

@Dramatical

Yep, you and the poster you are referring to are saying the same thing.

You are both, quite rightly in my view, suspicious of these vigilante groups and both, to an extent, think that those groups are 'protesting too much' (mangled Shakespeare quote) and are possibly actually perpetrators themselves.

StarlaP · 19/03/2019 09:28

Goodness me Dramatical, you’re very confused 😂

Dramatical · 19/03/2019 09:30

Sorry. I just didn't get it.

Dramatical · 19/03/2019 09:31

I really wasn't. I didn't see it to say that. Someone else tried to explain I think, not the same poster, not that it matters, but I wasn't being obtuse I wasn't reading it that same that's all.

Dramatical · 19/03/2019 09:32

Goodness me Dramatical, you’re very confused 😂

I am (was?). It's not really funny though. I just didn't understand the post that's all.

64sNewName · 19/03/2019 09:35

Have some of my coffee @Dramatical, I’ve got a full pot here now

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 19/03/2019 09:37

Dramatical this might help. As a PP said, quote marks would have made it clearer.

Skittlesss · 19/03/2019 09:37

Dramatical... living up to their name.

Giving us a chuckle on this wet Tuesday morn.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 19/03/2019 09:38

Wasp!

Apparently there is a job title "Scrum Master" (you can get a certificate in it and everything). I'd like to see that on a Birth Certificate although I think the Duchess of Cambridge topped everyone with her "Princess of the United Kingdom" entry.

But yeah, I can't imagine a decent registrar letting Paedophile Hunter through.

Dramatical · 19/03/2019 09:40

There isn't much dramatic about me not understanding a post.

TroysMammy · 19/03/2019 09:40

My exh was unemployed when we got married but as he did a lot of cycling the registrar put down he was a professional sportsman!

Paedophile Hunter is just ick. Making it all about himself. It's not his birth certificate it belongs to his child.

Dramatical · 19/03/2019 09:42

Thanks to the posters who helped me read it the right way. I do see it now 🤦🏻‍♀️

As for the posters using me as a source of amusement; at least I'm not the only stupid person on the thread.

ColeHawlins · 19/03/2019 09:43

Don't worry about it @dramatical

Skittlesss · 19/03/2019 09:49

Aww no, Dramatical, I didn’t mean to offend you. Was trying (and failing) to use humour.

Thanks for calling me stupid though

daisychain01 · 19/03/2019 09:50

Reminds me of the ignorant twats who victimised and terrorised a paediatric specialist because they didn't know the difference between a paediatric and a paedophile.

If they had half a brain cell between them, they'd be dangerous.

Palace13 · 19/03/2019 09:51

I truly believe this is a wind up. I cannot see the registrar putting that on a birth certificate

64sNewName · 19/03/2019 09:51

People were just being light-hearted/jokey to acknowledge and show that it’s fine that you misunderstood. Now you’re sadfacing and saying they’re being stupid? For god’s sake.

I began this by trying to reassure you that nobody was in fact calling you a paedophile. I was trying to help.

ColeHawlins · 19/03/2019 09:52

Well this is going well Cake anyone?

Skittlesss · 19/03/2019 09:53

Cole, I’m too stoopid for cake. It’ll have to be a biccy.

ShatnersWig · 19/03/2019 09:54

There's irony for you. Talking about ignorance and you're repeating the oft-told myth about something that never happened.
