did the webchat with the NSPCC go ahead?

[traceyracer]

I heard there was going to be one but not when

No, they bailed!

why?

There's a thread already on this on FWR - NSPCC is in the title.

I think it is page SEVEN that has their press release.

The silly mummies didn't ask the right questions.

Yes - they talked about balls rather than SPOF's ;-)

SPOFS

Pathetic behaviour from the NSPCC, really disappointing.

Yes, The NSPCC doesn’t consider there to be specific child protection concerns in relation to trans-inclusive policies

And we know this must be true because they explained the extensive consultation process they went through in order to assess these policies, then they took time to answer all our questions, patiently explaining how they were in fact unfounded.

Oh wait. No they didn’t. Even though,if there are no safeguarding concerns, it should be easy to explain why not, NSPCC declined to do this and instead ran away and hid from the terrible terrible mummies.

Holy crap that thread is quite something.

Hi ... no radio silence from NSPCC.... I hope they are really beginning to think...

If you want to help encourage them, do post on AIBU both to flag up to NSPCC and to others who won't yet be aware

For all the posters dismissing these issues as transphobia, here's a court judgement about child J who was repeatedly emotionally abused because social workers listened to trans groups rather than schools and other professionals who were concerned that J (a boy) was not a transgender girl as his mother claimed but in fact a boy.

It's really interesting as it details the process and how those social workers with the legal responsibilities for protecting him failed abysmally as they followed the mantra from trans groups (Mermaids) rather than looking at the real harm being done to him by his (mentally unwell) mother. It's a sobering example of what happens when professionals fail to centre children and follow the false ideologies of some trans groups. It's long but nails the problem!

There's a thread on AIBU which shows how cautious many people feel about mixed sex sleepovers.
