Police Scotland publish report calling paedophiles MAPs

It's the Scottish Daily Express though and I've always considered the English version a bit nuts. The article also blames the EU, so....big pinch of salt?

I wonder if paedophiles have broken into organisations like Stonewall, who advises the government and corporations, and now making paedophiles sound harmless?

At the same time, they are gearing society for men and women to no longer have safe spaces from each other.

All the Jimmy Saville's out there are probably clapping their hands in glee saying 'now then, now then'

It's in the telegraph too if you can read it - www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/30/scottish-police-call-paedophiles-minor-attracted-people-major/

Also the daily mail

Happy new year! Here's to a wonderful 2023

Erm... I think it's going to be an interesting year.

The end of the DM article offers some clarification.

The use of MAP is a quote from commissioning documents from an EU consortium called the Horizon Project.

In September Police Scotland successfully lobbied the consortium to stop using MAP.

It's good its been picked up. Now we watch and make sure it doesn't appear in any documentation in the future.

The need for vigilance is relentless. I've been really patient waiting for the Conservatives to turn this juggernaut around but my patience is running out, they need to send a very clear message this year that they have more than just words to offer, I want to see action, I'd start with bringing a case against Stonewall for misrepresenting the EA.

I’m sure they have. Supporting the eroding of boundaries and safeguarding by saying any man is a woman, on their say so and in all circumstances, and anyone who disagrees must be abused, ostracized and, preferably, sacked, has given them a cause to unite behind Stonewall with. This erosion of boundaries, safeguarding and whistleblowing suits them well.

A spokesman for the force stressed that MAPs is not a term they routinely use to describe child abusers and said that its use in the report had to be understood in context.

I don't Fucking care.

No one should use MAP for PAEDOPHILE. NO ONE.

I wasn't raped by a minor attracted person I was raped by a paedophile.

So they can take their weasily words and

FUCK OFF

Green grass fluffy clouds green grass fluffy clouds and breathe and relax.

Atomsgirl, well, the impact on safeguarding is either a huge mistake which no one has properly noticed, or (given how often it has been pointed out) a feature…..

This was the closest I could get to the actual source when I looked yesterday. I still think there's no excuse for this and that if it was absolutely necessary to include the project, they should have re-worded it and instead included a footnote as to why they won't help normalise the term "MAP".

I agree, if the police in Scotland were lobbying for the term to be removed they could have edited the document or added a footnote themselves to make their own position crystal clear. I suspect some of the powers that be weren't as concerned as they say they are or should have been which is why I'm glad it's made the mainstream media.

It's a sorry state of affairs when it's the Express, Mail and Telegraph holding them to account.

I think there's another thread about a Scottish LGBT organisation that appointed a guy who was later found to be a paedophile and, iirc, raped a baby! I'm aghast that there seems to have been no big outcry or investigation into potential failures in safeguarding that allowed this to happen and the organisation seems to be carrying on with its reputation pretty much intact. So far.

Of course abusive men never pretend to be anything else, except every single time that they do.

Jesus christ.

Raped a baby? Wtaf. Is there a link to that thread, OP?

Is it this one Beastly?

Thanks MrsO

Thanks @MrsOvertonsWindow that's the thread.

Oh yes, Mermaids. Any recent news as they have slipped out of the limelight?

They got the new interim CEO person and went two silent. Just looked kin Twitter hung about Scotland on 22 de c then quiet it seems, but I'm not Twitter user so might not be looking properly. They've been keepng their head down since susie was sacked

Kin hung??? Who knows what i was trying to write

Ugh. I was so bloody shocked the first time I saw that acronym on Twitter. Alongside NOMAP which stands for non-offending minor attracted person. Of course, they're all non-offending, aren't they? So won't mind handing over their hard drive on a weekly basis?

Paedophiles, rebranding themselves as non-offending people, with just a different kind of sexual attraction than everyone else.

On Twitter, they are allowed to put the ages of the children they are interested in, like 0 to 6 months.

No one can tell me this is not a massive, global drive to normalise child rape.

I'm feeling peckish anyone for PIE. I've got a brand new Marmalade And Pecan version or an old recipe from the 70s.

Door today's cryptic crossword post

I'm fairly sure the recipes have been passed down to the new younger generation
