But forgot to add that her publicist did know and NSPCC made amendments to the first statement at their request.
So... this comment at the end of the BBC article?
"her spokesperson accused the charity of "bowing down to pressure from a transphobic lobby running a hate campaign"."
NSPCC & BBC should be explaining why its a Safeguarding no no for adults (however prominant, admired or regarded as attractive) to solicit private messages from children regardless of their intentions.
This should be a key aspect of reporting.
NSPCC have the opportunity
BBC have a responsibility
If Munroe & Munroe's PR team are determined to keep claiming transphobia then clearly they still dont understand /care about Safeguarding children online, particularly children who are part of the LGBT+ community.
