Has anyone seen the film Leap Year… that just makes me giggle from start to finish!
Alas being able to check up on someone proves nothing other than they have never been caught!
It amazes me how much strength is given to CRB checks and the like. People who are abusive (in whatever form) can be doing it for decades before they are even caught.
We only ever hear about the extreme cases or where catastophic failings in the system have resulted in a child’s death, but did you know it is so much more common than you think.
I used to own a nursery school and in one term alone we had at least 3 children whom we considered to be at risk and were monitoring. I actually had to take the step of referring one case to social services, doing so with such apprehension in case I was wrong – turned out that the child and family were already known to social services. I felt so much better on hearing that.
Child protection or safeguarding begins at home with you and me, never be affraid to take something further if you have a hunch, if you are wrong no harm done.
Abuse takes many forms, neglecting to take your ill child to a doctor cause you can’t take time of work is neglect which is abuse. Obviously sexual abuse is what it is but allowing a child to encounter sexualised viewing on tv for example a 13 year old watching an 18 certificate film, could be construde as abuse. Obviously extreme examples but like I said, good upbringing in a safe environment begins in the home.
I could talk about this all day as I have attended several courses on the subject over the years and seen some pretty harrowing stuff. Nothing shocks me. As long as people cannot even be civil to one and other in a chat room, what chance have the extremists in this society ever got of seeing right from wrong.Anyway back to my original point, step fathers or not, CRB or not, Background checks or not, it will make no difference. it goes on. I know many men who adore and take on a child as if they were there own, why should they be scrutinised because of the actions of a minority in society?

And just for the record I never requested the thread to be locked nor did I complain to Admin. :roll:
lol kenty admin are a law unto themselves in this day and age of law suits i spect the racist card having been thrown they would have locked it on that basis , i dunno ay what a palarvaaaaaa lol hugssssssss xxxxxx
For the record I asked for it to be addressed. I found the childish sniping and racist comments that were flying back and forth an absolute disgust, as one of the younger members of this forum I thought most of you should have known better. And while we are being honest, I actually don’t like the sound of a Birmingham accent, but that is my preference, eventhough I dated someone from Redditch who had the twang of that area it didn’t fall in love with it. I am sure many people will not like my accent but that is their preference. That whole thread got totally out of hand. Shameful.
