Anyone watching? !! Can remember going to Florida in 2008 and my daughter was obsessed with Abercrombie wanting to try on clothes in their big store and worried that the sizes were too small …

Where’s TheNightWotcha when you need her?!

Panorama aside, you sound like you could start an argument in an empty room.

So clothing sizes are more of a problem than kids being coerced 🤷‍♀️No am not cross ,just surprised that people are so passive.

No.

You titled your OP 'Panorama" and I clicked to see what it was about, but after reading it I was none the wiser.

Since then you've gone all stroppy, suggesting that people don't care about sexual exploitation and care about clothing sizes more, and that MNers are passive on the subject of grooming.

Why are you being weirdly obtuse?

Not obtuse. Just didn’t realise that other people on MN are ! Started my post with good intentions to highlight how vulnerable children are inc my own child many years ago . Maybe title not clear but thought people would get the gist. Anyway that’s me off now.Night night X

As I understood these young men were promised help with their careers if they went to parties and meetings arranged by the CEO. They did not expect to be involved in sexual activity and were not able to easily leave once they arrived at the premises. There were allegations of trafficking as well, I think? It seems very serious to me. I have not had time to watch it, only read about it, so apologies if I have misunderstood. It's perhaps comparable to the Epstein case, in terms of exploitation and trafficking of vulnerable young people.

Thank you @ketchup07070 . You have explained better than me !

Well the panorama program has been publicised on TV …sorry if my first post wasn’t clear Actually not sorry,am sure if I started a post about cleaners , education,housing there would have been more interest. Just hope your children are not mislead when they are older and have problems. I just started this thread as a caring Mum .

Ridiculous. You are not a caring mum just because you started a post on MN. You sound like a virtue signaller.

I don’t normally open threads about TV shows. Your title wasn’t about grooming but a TV programme.

Many of us have kept our teens safe and strive to keep our young adults safe. Responding to a post on MN is not how to measure how much you want to protect your teens 😂I am embarrassed for you.

I assume that wasn't the intended Panorama programme.

Canibearsed to explain properly in op 🙄
Hurry in a hope to be the first?
Even I rolled my eyes thinking what it has to do with sizes and what a weird take (but I already read the news)

My son was ‘scouted’ on Instagram a few years ago and I accompanied him to an agency in London. Am absolute con and young people being exploited!

Thats always a con. Must parents would know this.

I didn’t watch the show, have seen the Netflix documentary already, it’s a horrible company.

Also agree this probably want the intended episode.

Ofgs. Not everyone watches TV all the time and people who don't immediately get it aren't uncaring. The sly implication that the person you replied to will put their kids in danger is self righteous nastiness.
Get over yourself and explain properly next time.

And don't forget, when challenged claim the other person doesn't care about putting their children at risk.
Vile.

Agree with @AutumnFroglets Your first few posts give very few details. I thought the programme was about big clothing companies using slave labour to produce their goods, from what you wrote. What was the point of your personal anecdote about Florida?

You're the one whose kid nearly got scammed, not us.
