NSPCC - Nothing new really

Recently the NSPCC has outraged home educators by attempting to link home education with child abuse, making comments implying that Victoria Climbie was linked to home education.

Rooting around the internet, I have come across an article from 1999 entitled Why this NSPCC advert is harmful to children in which Colin Pritchard (professor of psychiatric social work at the University of Southampton) says 'The NSPCC are playing games'.

The NSPCC's message has to be 'children are at risk'. To put it at its baldest, the NSPCC needs cruelty to children to be seen to occur because, without that, it has no raison d' tre.

So, it seems the NSPCC has been playing this game of false accusations for a long time. It is about time this organisation stopped trying to line its coffers by claiming child abuse in every direction and either got down to truly helping children at a practical level or simply shut up shop and stopped accusing innocent families of horrific actions.

The NSPCC by their own actions are putting children at risk, they are demonising normal loving families and making ordinary people afraid to help children in case they get accused of abuse or paedophilia!
