Renegade Pictures trawling MN via Private Messages

Apologies if there is already a thread on this. I've received a Private Message via MN from Renegade Pictures asking me if I want to be exploited and humiliated in a an apology for a documentary appear in some trash they are making.

Just want to name them and shame them here. The message is from a producer Paula at Renegade. The username in which the message appeared is Sophiescott. They are making the programme for the BBC. I wonder if the BBC has developed ethical rules of conduct about trawling online communities.

Apparently the post that prompted their intrusion related to my difficulties with my teenage son. Mumsnet has really had it as a support site if we have reached the point where an anonymous appeal for support prompts journalistic attention. I don't even know which post it is so I will have to work back through my posting history so that I can request a deletion.

Anyone know of a good support site that is 'by parents for parents'?

Really sorry about this. Just wanted to let you know that we have been made aware of this - it is totally not on! And we have dropped them a mail to let them know.

Hello. Just to let you know, we have now added extra notes to everyone's PM inbox and "compose message" page to make it really clear that PMs are not there for journalists/TV researchers to use to contact our members.
