To be annoyed that my friend ( a teacher) may be disciplined for telling parents one of her pupils took a pregnancy test?

The girl had confided in her and the test was arranged, via school nurse but my colleague decided that the girl's parents should be informed and may now face disciplinary procedures because the girl had not consented to this (the test was negative by the way). Obviously the girl (and parents) are very upset. But did she do the right thing?

Nice one. Because to mention Nazis in the context of a MN discussion is so overblown and ridiculous the poster should be ignored for the general good?

have never heard of godwin's law utnil now... i am glad though, i think it will come in handy

theyoungvisiter · 16/03/2008 18:04

blardy hell. I went away for the weekend, came back and this is STILL rumbling on and Nicetry is STILL refusing to concede that any mumsnetter other than herself might have a point?

However I would like to thank Nicetry for a thread that has enabled me to learn what Godwin's law is (excellent!) and produced Scottishmummies sheep quote. Round of applause!

baaaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaaaa humbug to this pile of doo-do from NiceTry

Even if the extras are true - ahem, god I love that Dolly quote, I so wish I'd said it - the case as presented at the beginning is one with which the overwhelming majority (who have as I've said really widely diverging views on just about everything else) disagrees.

TheFallenMadonna - I can believe a CP Officer would not see this as a child protection issue either, this is the same woman who tried to convince me that domesic violence in a home does not automatically damage a child. I am amazed at the school nurse however, but she obviously felt the girls right to confidentiality was greater than her right to protection from this man.

oh NT you are just trying to make us laugh now.

2 words Nicetry:

Godwin's. Law.

Now hush.

scottishmummy · 16/03/2008 20:07

NiceTry your unswerving ability to deflect challenges & continue to talk mince is breathtaking .guess you are backed into a corner and cant/wont admit that this is a deluded rant

turquoise · 16/03/2008 20:11

LOLOLOL at Dolly. Definitely quote of the week.

Just realised what this mumsnet thing is all about, the majority of you do not want to take responsibility for the welfare of your children. You expect your nursery to wean them onto solids, your primary school teacher to teach them how to read and instill moral values, plonk them in front of cbeebies while you are on the computer all day, expect school nurses, youth workers and teachers to give them contraceptive and drug advice, social workers and counsellors to deal with their anti-social behaviour and self-esteem issues and finally the police to deal with the fallout. Your politically correct, socialist values will totally screw you up in the end. Society today is wrong, children are more aware of their rights than their responsibilities. Please 'parent' your children yourselves and accept responsibility for them.

is it making you feel better nicetry? cos to us you just sound more and more sad, mate.

I was gonna write something much ruder but I can't be arsed.

You forget to say that we are a bunch of bitches and anest of vipers

"parenting" includes giving teenagers responsibility for certain areas of their lives, though, or how else would they ever learn enough to leave home?

EVERYBODY is entitled to confidentiality about medical/ sexual matters, however old they are.

Are you going to lock your kids into chastity belts and give them the keys when you deem they're old enough to have sex? Are you going to personally approve their partners? Are you going to watch while they do it, and check the condom for holes after they finish?

NiceTry · 16/03/2008 21:53

Hotcross - I am not your mate, so please do not address me so

It was irony and intended to be as offensive as your post Nicetry. You don't sound very smart to me so I guess I'll just keep explaining stuff if you need me to.

The real name's Monkeybird BTW, just in case you thought I'd parachuted in.

OH FFS you buckethead, give it up! All you are demonstrating is a creepy obsession with stopping teenagers having sex and a love of trying to frighten parents. You should be writing leaders for the Daily Mail.

scottishmummy · 16/03/2008 22:10
