The BBC is complicit in failures to safeguard children

[WarriorN]

The BBC has been complicit in safeguarding failures that put children at risk

This has been evident for some time.

Timeline from seen in journalism:

https://www.seeninjournalism.com/blogs/how-the-bbc-was-captured/

Specifically from that piece:

Summer 2014 All About Trans had an Interaction with CBeebies and CBBC, attended by Helen Bullough, Head of CBBC In House Productions, and Joe Godwin, Head of BBC Children’s, who went on to chair a second social event in September 2014 of that year

‘Outcome of the meeting: volunteers worked with the researchers to provide support for the My Life documentary featuring a young transgender boy called Leo. My Life – I am Leo was broadcast in November 2014 on CBBC’

July 2014 All About trans interaction with Sue Owen, the Managing Editor for BBC Radio Merseyside andAziz Rashid, Head of Regional & Local Programmes at BBC North West.

August 2014 All About Trans interaction with the Audience Council in Wales (which no longer exists)

September 2014 Second CBBC About Trans interaction (see above) attended by Kay Benbow (Controller at CBeebies) and Vanessa Amberleigh (Executive Producer CBeebies).

April 2015 BBC2 broadcasts Louis Theroux: Transgender kids

Around this period Cathy Newman met All About Trans but we haven’t got the date

From 2014 onwards we see an enormous rise in referrals to the Tavistock amongst girls.

there will be other factors, but we cannot ignore the fact that a publicly funded (via licence fee) institution, that the vast majority of U.K. nationals (including many professionals who work with children) views as reliable, put out content that we know was biased, unscientific, unsupported by evidence and has been shown to be harmful for children.

David Aaronovitch:

hugely problematic. If nhs staff and teachers and a range of other professional exclusively consume BBC content, as I know they do, alongside the guardian (most teachers), they had no idea about the Cass review nor its significance

Cass has been part of KCSIE for two years now.

I bet if polled, most uk teachers wouldn’t know what it is, wouldn’t have read it or if they have, completely disagree with it.

This is second way the BBC has failed children.

"Around this period Cathy Newman met All About Trans but we haven’t got the date"

Cathy Newman is Ch4 News? Not BBC?

Tanya from safe schools alliance has been “allowed” to occasionally speak on R4.

But SSA have been raising these concerns for a number of years.

where are the major documentaries about detransitioned children? The impact of transition on families - siblings, children?

clear bias. Zero balance

It’s on the timeline, not sure about significance of that

There needs to be a specific inquiry into this. Accountability and change, quickly.

Yes. Although my whole heart aches at the impacts.

Malcolm Clark has been posting extensively on this

We must not let the issue of the trump edit overshadow this.

Of course; Dr Ronx on operation ouch

Miriam Cates on twix:

Important to remember just how much influence the BBC has in schools. From Bitesize to Newsround, the BBC must bear its share of responsibility for enabling progressive activism in schools. As a parent it’s hard to argue against a school’s stance on gender, sex, race, climate when teachers can point to the nation’s taxpayer-funded trusted broadcaster as ‘evidence’ of accepted facts.

Many schools, my son’s included, watch news round daily.

It’s odd socks week.

Andy and the band from cbbc will be featured in classrooms all over the country.

I remember watching Louis Theroux' programme on Transgender kids when it came out and thinking the little boy was being manipulated by his narcissistic parents for attention. How many parents in the UK transitioned their own children as a result of watching this and similar programmes in the rush to be part of the new sacred caste of special people with extra rights and privileges (at the expense of their own innocent children and vulnerable women up and down the country).

Pretty sure that one of the angles Nick Wallis is particularly interested in shining a light on is the trans kids issue.

Miriam Cates needs to understand that modern, normal, non-woke conservatism is actually progressive to the extent to which it supports child safeguarding and LGB rights and women's rights. In contrast the BBC and other woke outlets / people are regressive in that they support ending child safeguarding and LGB rights and women's rights. However much one claims to be progressive you literally can't be unless you support LGB rights and women's rights.

Progressive is a somewhat dangerous term because it suggests that one can always do better by moving forward in a "progressive way". This is nonsense... whatever one might seek to do, whether it is reducing taxes, or giving more money to the NHS or reducing class sizes or gay rights there is definitely a point where we have to stop. As taxes reach zero there becomes no state with all the associated problems; however much we need to fund the NHS better we don;t want to give it an ever-increasing share of a finite sum (as to do so would mean nothing for roads or education or defence); do we really want to send out kids to schools where they get 1-1 teaching?; do we really want to go further in helping LGB people after giving them equal rights to straight people? (No because after equality can only come LGB privilege aka heterosexual underprivilege)

FWIW Some "conservatives" are "woke" despite the two things being mutually exclusive.

Institutions need to get kids on side, it’s how they survive.

That bias is key.

excellent post @JamieCannister, you’re absolutely right regarding the term progressive.

there’s ideological progressive and sensible, evidence based, reflective progressive. Thats neither “left” nor “right wing,” but is indeed very much the basic of safeguarding and medical care

The BBC has been grooming all of us- vulnerable children in particular, but only recently ran a story claiming that the chemically induced secretions produced by men attempting to induce lactation so they can force vulnerable newborns to suck their nipples are somehow SUPERIOR to mothers breast milk. They have been grooming and gaslighting the nation against children’s women’s and gay rights and using the money we are forced to pay them to do it

Wasn't it the BBC which exposed the Tavistock clinic? So not entirely complicit and not in all parts.

Absolutely horrific

you would have though the phrase hiding in plain sight would be etched into every bbc news person’s psyche by now; clearly not

What conservative, left and right, and progressive all mean is something that truly fascinates me, as does the extent to which I have changed.

I hate the idea that we all get more right wing and conservative as we get older... but maybe we do.

But the more I think about it the more I am still exactly how I was in 1990 as a mid-teenager. I still support left wing, social democratic capitalism (ie I am a fair bit to the left of labour since Blair in economic terms); I still support women's and LGB rights. I still hate people who push homophopbic language or traditional gender roles being imposed on people's sexed bodies. I have never claimed to be a socialist.

I have gone from someone for whom labour or maybe lib dems were the least bad option, to someone who despises the lib dems, greens and much of the people and policies of labour. I could broadly be seen to be closer to the tories in terms of social policies now (because the tories are closer to a 1990 progressive position than the regressive more leftist parties are). I despise socialism more than I have ever done before, and don;t see that any of the mainstream or vaguely mainstream parties offer coherent social democratic capitalism.

News night

but the “balance” only upped a notch as a result

it should have been a very different reaction

Yes.
We need to be challenging all the current attempts by the BBC to minimise this scandal down to one fake item about Trump.
Thei promotion of transgenderism at children especially, and society in general, is a scandal of epic proportions.

Thank you OP for this. Until the scandal of what society has allowed transactivists to do to children is recognised, nothing will change.
Here's a reminder from TransgenderTrend about some of the BBC's awful grooming of children in gender Identity beliefs:
