Does this mean they will send Munroe in to Mumsnet for an LGBT children themed webchat?

I would like that very much.

SarahTancredi · 06/06/2019 17:08

Like their webchat they are not responding to any point on that Twitter feed....

If we ignore it it will go away Hmm

But but but the bullying! The sacking from jobs because if the bullying! The racism, sexism, lesbaphobia (is that a word?).

Well I guess if they have mrs trump doing anti-online bullying campaigns then this is par for the course these days.

I am already cross this week with the NSPCC after I found out that they are teaching primary age children, during their Speak Out, Stay Safe programme, that the definition of sexual abuse is "when a child is being made, asked, or rewarded for doing anything with their body that frightens or worries them – or being made to do this to somebody else." (my bolding). This definition sounds completely different to the ones that they teach for physical abuse, for example, which does not rely on a child's response to the abuse for it to be abuse.

The definition does not seem to inform children that sexual abuse is happening to them regardless of how they feel about it, making it sound as though sexual abuse is not happening to a child if they have been groomed to have no understanding or concerns that what is happening to them is wrong.

Is this why the NSPCC do not seem concerned about MB's responses to the situation that 11yr old Desmond is in? Do the NSPCC think because Desmond has not raised concerns then the situation is alright and that he is not being abused? Is this also why the NSPCC are unable to see the safeguarding and welfare conflicts in many of the transgender policies - because it is only a concern if children are worried at this moment in time.

Let's not forget that Munroe also has form for encouraging teenagers to send her private messages.

Safeguarding? Wossat?

Fucking hellConfused

I’m assuming no one at childline is capable of running a quick google search? Is due diligence not a thing these days?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/06/2019 18:26

I worked for a charity. It was the trust bloody thing I did. You’d be amazed what people omit.

Oh chicken that's a step away from why didn't you say anything? You must have encouraged/enjoyed it.

JamB4cream · 06/06/2019 18:55

If Childline can't spell check their Twitter posts then they probably haven't used Google either to check Munroe's social media history

Can’t spell check or really even construct a sentence, that tweet looks like it was written by a 5 year old.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/06/2019 19:00

What is the trans obsession with people saying they don’t exists. They exist! We see you! You won’t let anyone forget.

MrsSnippyPants · 06/06/2019 19:01

I wonder why they didn't use this photo?

ChickenonaMug · 06/06/2019 19:03

Yes Datun it really is. I am fuming. The definition that the NSPCC use on their main webpages is what you would expect but then they go into schools and teach children a harmful message about sexual abuse in my opinion.

What is wrong with the NSPCC? I have so many concerns about what they are doing now.

Lordy. My boobs were like that when I was breastfeeding. It was rather painful and felt like they were going to burst.

JamB4cream · 06/06/2019 19:05

You're right sexnotgender I didn't notice the double use of "last year" in the body of the Tweet, not very professional looking.

Throckmorton · 06/06/2019 19:10

You know, I posted about this on Facebook. Not one bugger has responded to it. Wonder if that is cos loads of them are continually pushing the "nasty women don't want TWAW in their toilets" angle and don't know how to deal with this latest gem.

BickerinBrattle · 06/06/2019 19:19

Follow the money. This smacks of quid pro quo.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/06/2019 19:20

Oh always. As I always say ‘who has the most to gain?’

MiffysMissingSock · 06/06/2019 19:32

Is this the Munroe that bright out a lingerie line that resembles.... ?

Outofinspiration · 06/06/2019 19:33

So this is Munroe Bergdorf who supports an 11 year old boy dancing in front of adults for money in the middle of the night in a nightclub because.... Something to do with rainbows. And who also encourages 12 year olds to message them in a 'big sister' capacity.

Super.

ChattyLion · 06/06/2019 19:43

Chicken that is absolutely horrifying. Why are children not being allowed proper boundaries from adult harm? It’s very sinister.

I remember reading about someone from the Police or National Crime Agency who was talking about having to go through images of child sexual abuse and indecent material as part of putting together evidence.

They were saying that one of the tragic aspects of it was seeing the number of children that were smiling in these abusive pictures and who obviously trusted and felt affection for their abuser. It’s horrific.

So this is basically saying to kids then that it’s their own fault if they don’t recognise their own sexual abuse. If they don’t struggle, fight back, tell someone, report it, then they were complicit?

Why would we put that burden of judgement on to children? This is not a call they should ever have to make, nor should have to live with afterwards once they do understand the abuse that has been done to them.
