To think Super Nanny Jo Frost has lost the plot?

Assuming she sanctions the views on her social media page. Jo Frost has shared this bizarre scary post claiming that an unclean home is the “number one sign” of child abuse. How is she getting away with such inaccurate information? Surely she knows the difference between abuse and neglect and that actual abuse can happen in any home. If a child is actually suffering from real neglect, simply telling the parents “clean your house” is not going to help a complex situation. So what is she trying to achieve apart from making parents terrified of being accused of something because they are behind with cleaning?!

But what Super Nanny is saying is true, a dirty house can be neglectful parenting and therefore a form of abuse. The police can remove a child from a family home if the home conditions are poor enough to pose a risk to a child.

We all know that, the issue was with her claiming that it was the number one sign of abuse which is misleading coupled with her lecturing parents on cleaning which is scaremongering clickbait. If home conditions are that poor they’re not going to be looking to Jo Frost to lecture them, they’re going to need proper interventions.
