Tweet asks whether potiential victims of sexual abuse will choose to be at their 'abuser's place' or have a 'happy face' Confused This is so unbelievably victim-blamey! I really hope the mainstream media picks up on it and they have a rethink!

I see there's been a robust response.

littlbrowndog · 27/11/2018 09:47

Yeah make the choice kids
Choose to be abused
Of course that’s what kids do isn’t i5
Fucking unbelievable

Popchyk · 27/11/2018 09:49

Police - which choice will you make?

Do your fucking jobs
or
Blame children for sexual exploitation

I think we know the answer.

And there is an apostrophe missing from the word 'abusers'.

Actually I don't understand the advert. "Hey kids, would you rather be taking fun selfies or hanging out with a sex abuser?"

Surely one of the warnings should be to identify when the 'fun' on offer is actually a lure into something dangerous.

Wow, the response to the tweet is quite something! I just can't believe they put it out there in the first place though!

Not just inappropriate, but laughably bad advertising at the same time. Well done lads.

AngryAttackKittens · 27/11/2018 09:53

Is every police force in Yorkshire run by Doctor Evil? WTF is wrong with them?

NotMeOhNo · 27/11/2018 09:53

They've taken it down. Anyone get a screenshot?

RiverTam · 27/11/2018 09:53

it's gone now

delilabell · 27/11/2018 09:53

I can't see the post so I think it's been taken down?

BubonicBudgie · 27/11/2018 09:54

Have they pulled it ? I'm getting that page doesn't exist

rightreckoner · 27/11/2018 09:54

Has it been taken down? I can't see it.

BubonicBudgie · 27/11/2018 09:54

X post with everybody

Bloomcounty · 27/11/2018 09:56

It appears to have disappeared. What did it say?

littlbrowndog · 27/11/2018 09:58

It was I think choose to be in an abusers place or choose to be in a happy space

AngryAttackKittens · 27/11/2018 09:59

Let's see if this works.

Wow! If only all those silly girls in Yorkshire had chosen not to be abused by the gangs. Just imagine how much easier it would have been for the police, with less crime to investigate. Oh that’s right, the police didn’t actually bother to investigate, it took a determined woman, fighting the system, to help those girls. The fucking Yorkshire police make the old RUC of the 70s seem open minded and fair in comparison.

AngryAttackKittens · 27/11/2018 10:04

"Look out for yourself and your mates" because the North Yorkshire Police certainly aren't going to!

AngryAttackKittens · 27/11/2018 10:05

That police force is rotten to the core. It's not salvageable, they need to just sack the lot of them and start over again.
