[crumpet]

I hope it's not as serious as it sounds

ok, think I must have read that wrong

didn't intend to spread unfounded allegations

This story has horrified me.
HAving had DS's in daycare it is trly shocking.
My thoughts are with the children and families involved.

sorry for thinking you were a troll yappy, there has been alot of it about in recent days.

that's alright, first time it's happened, bit of a MN rite of passage, no?

Dont want to give sympathy where it's not needed but pag you made me cry x

yes yappy - you must feel that you have 'arrived'

monkeyface, have you thought about getting help if stories like this affect you so badly? I don't mean that in a horrid way but it seems to really get to you.

I think it's a horrific story and one that seems incomprehensible but not to the extent that it's upset you .

sick sick. I wonder if the nursery pics were the lower level ones, as they said they range from level 1-4, as I cant see how she could have donr (sick feeling in stomach) much in a full nursery.

Our nursery has cctv, all mobiles are banned, all toilets have glass fronted, and even finger print entry on the doors. I know my dd1 was safe there, and will happpily send dd2, but omg, those poor parents.

yes, it's only taken 6 years

sorry, back to the news item

Sorry from me too! Just couldn't find anything that mentioned it.

So,can you call me a troll now, Yappy! I've been here 5yrs and haven't had it yet!

Yeah Ive had councelling, I cant cope with real life very well. Dont worry I dont take it as critism, its something Im having to learn to live with.
Baby P almost caused me a breakdown!

do take care,perhaps limit your exposure/duration to harrowing stuff

some self protection if it is too raw

Did you have proper abuse counselling monkey?

Be kind to yourself,horrific news stories do trigger do us survivors at times when we aren't feeling strong.

I do, my OH knows to turn the news off at the slightest mention of kid stuff! My health visitor suggested I do foster care to feel like Im helping but I couldn't bear to give the kids back! Thanks for your concern, and I will stop hyjacking the thread now

Oh Monkey, without trying to sound patronising, you are obviously struggling with this aspect of your mental health and if I were you I'd stay off these threads and probably the entire news section.

Honestly, look after yourself by refusing to click.

poshwellies I think you have wrong end of stick, Ive not been abused, just have trouble hearing about kids who have been.

You're not hijacking the thread. You need support. Just be kind to yourself and stay off nasty news threads.

Oh.

Do take care of yourself Monkey

Aww thanks guys, as I said earlier Im sorry if I offended anyone with my rather outrageous comments on what Id do with the abusers, but Im a wimp really I am!!
Anyway lets make this thread about the people who need it, Im off to sink a glass of wine, gorge on a large Aero, and kiss my babies goodnight, so thanks again and huge hugs to everyone who needs them x

monkeyface

you are sweet but I am fine.

You should be encouraged really . Children ARE resilient. I managed, grew up, got married and i am very very happy.
We all have terrible things in our lives. It is just hard to hear of/ think of a child being harmed because we project so much into that. We think of our own children and our innocent selves and it seems such a breach of all that purity ( a crap word but I can't think of a better one)

But generally, if you have people who love you this becomes somethingthat whilst difficult, you can overcome.

I only talk about it because one of the hardestthings to deal with is the shame and i just refuse to feel ashamed anymore

Pagwatch.
You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Dont ever let any one make you feel like you are. It was not your fault. You did nothing. You were a baby.
You should be so very proud of yourself and all that you have achieved in your life.
