I knew the day was coming - when I became a parent I dreaded it - not my idea of fun - I can’t stomach revolving rides & I’m way to cool to dance with grown people dressed as cartoon characters - but he wants to go and it was 50/50 that he would want to go to…fucking Disneyland

I’m hoping they ban all smart phones in school before my 7 year old gets there - so many issues and negative consequences for children

#Police misuse of strip-search powers against adults is bad enough; against children, it can cause deep and lasting mental scars. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Excellent report on @BBCRadio4 about poverty and care system - something we were discouraged from talking about at the recent failed review into child social care - services to SUPPORT families went and now we pay the price - extortionate charges for privately run “services”

Smacking children does not work - the slipper/cane was not a deterrent for me as I went back time after time. I have never smacked my child as I believe it can be really damaging.

I still believe NAYPIC was defunded by Labour government because so many young people were revealing the abuse they faced to the organisation -

As we collectively (almost) open our eyes to the fact that Police are not always the promoters of right over wrong - we should review as many cases as we can. Lots of innocent people in jail and guilty people are free

#hillsborough 35 years ago - matched stopped just after 3. I was at BBC Lime Grove working on a Kilroy edition for the Monday - live pictures being fed in were ghastly-so many desperate people wanted to get out of the crush. May they Rest In Peace

Care is a verb and inherently political. We have got to stop the institutionalised privatisation of care and reaffirm Care within our national identity. Stop profitting from traumatising children #CareIsAVerb theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
