just for the record, the shots that were requested from parents were requested going back as far as 12 months ago. That website cm.net has only been going a few months, if that, so that comment was a load of shit
just so people can see this again, cos Im sure mrs izzy r-b will be happy to see the incriminating evidence pushed miles down the page by a few mums that are legitimate and those that are more questionable!!!!, I have pasted the message again, because parents NEED TO SEE THIS AS A WARNING!!!!!!!!!

Hi there
We deleted the earlier post by Pauline of Cheeky Kidz Child Model Agency purely because it contained personal information about a mumsnet member. However, we do understand the speculation which has resulted from us doing this and feel it would clarify matters if we re-post her message omitting the personal details:
COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT
I am Pauline, proprietor of Cheekykidz Agency.
I have recently been made aware of this chatroom, following numerous telephone calls and emails to CK regarding one poster, name of Izzyrubi and her child who I was acting for, a fact that Izzyrubi has herself confirmed on this chatroom.
Having read through the chat logs, it seems that Izzyrubi has stated that her child has had numerous jobs and castings through CK, a fact that has been denied by other posters. Please see below just one of those posts, which my legal advisors have found, which verify that Izzyruby has stated this in writing on this forum. There are various others under a search for Izzyrubi with CK or Cheekykidz.

Julie >> I just gave your e-mail to Carly, she's lovely and I think her son is same age as yours! My dd is with Inspired Kids, Alphabet Kidz and Cheeky Kidz, all three agencies are fantastic in different ways but the one that we had the most castings/jobs is CK although we did have some through AK as well. I really like all three agencies and at this point I don't think I would go with any other agencies (well, maybe Kids London if they accepted my dd lol).
Even if you decide to go with CS Management you can still have your ds with a modelling agency so it might be worth go and see what it's all about!!
I can state categorically that Izzyrubi?s child has never been to a casting, nor completed any photographic, or commercial activity through my agency. I can also confirm that her daughter was removed from our agency under the request of her mother last week. I contacted her, regarding a sole rep issue, as it was brought to my attention that she was being multi represented, and she confirmed that she has steady work with AK.
I have spoken to Lisa at Alphabetkidz who found herself in much the same situation as Cheekykidz.
We are a new agency and we have had some very nice jobs in the time that we have been going, for some of our children, but we have always been very honest with our parents that we are new and that we try very hard to promote their child to the clients and do our utmost to push any child that we do have on our books for any job that comes our way. I would not wish for any parent with cheekykidz or thinking of joining us to be mislead, by reading that we have all these fantastic contracts for toddlers, as incorrectly stated by Izzyrubi, as that would most unprofessional and could only lead to my fantastic parents being left disillusioned. I am sure that any agency would share that opinion.
We do list all our clients, castings and jobs to date on our web-site so parents and potential parents can see what work we have had.
PAULINE
Kind regards
We are currently investigating this matter, but in the meantime, ask that you remind yourselves of our policy and that we're here to make life easier not more difficult...
Thanks
