Re the court case, and to highlight why all charities should be under scrutiny;
The court findings highlighted is that social workers with the legal responsibilities for protecting child J failed him because they followed the mantra from trans group Mermaids rather than looking at the actual harm being done to him by his (mentally unwell) mother.
‘Justice Hayden writes that J’s mother caused “significant emotional harm” to her child and critiques the local authority social services staff responsible for the youngster’s welfare.
He goes on to detail the acts of a controlling mother towards her child, M’s personal diagnosis of J’s alleged gender dysphoria, and a system which failed this child. Together, these various failures demonstrate a pattern of abuse and a mother who, Hayden writes, “deprived [her son] of his fundamental right to exercise his autonomy in its most basic way.”
What the judgment shows is that reports made by the Local Authority’s Housing Department, J’s school, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), and Social Services gave M’s behaviour towards her child (including her approach to J’s “gender presentation”) a pass simply because she was receiving support from Mermaids, a UK-based charity that claims to support parents of children who identify as transgender. Observations like these show major conflicts of interest between Mermaids and the government agencies named in the judgement.’ (continues)
It's just another example of what happens when professionals fail to centre children and forgo safeguarding to blindly follow ‘charity support’ groups.
I’m getting a bit over yet another “lessons learned” when we’ve realised we’ve sterilised a generation of children based on their colour preferences.
