I hope they throw the book at the School and the Department too. Glad to see allegations made openly. Perhaps there will be a proper debate now, despite the warnings not to speculate. DESC have failed to jump on this quickly, of course there will be speculation. Tough. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most children will at least have access to an Internet enabled device and many will have parents who have not implemented any Internet controls. I suspect by the age 13 children will have seen much more sexually explicit content than boobs on page 3 of The Sun. Those of you who are parents may also want to look up the reports of children being groomed via Spotify. That's right Spotify. A service with no messaging facility but which is still being used by paedophiles to access children. Why would someone bother going to the extent of accessing a school if they just wanted to corrupt children? Well maybe they would want to corrupt children in a physical environment rather than online? There are some strange people out there I must stress I am not saying this is the case in the particular instance we are discussing, just giving a possible answer to the generic question you posed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiVibes Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 If only the people of middle had voted an anti woke warrior who could pick this up like David Fowler. Seems Stu Peters is still 'picking his battles' or hiding under a table 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Stu Peters is still 'picking his battles' or hiding under a table Well the thing is if Stu makes even a humorous posting it gets ripped to shreds by those looking for a more sinister interpretation. No wonder he would be cautious about what he posts. Edited March 1, 2023 by The Voice of Reason 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is Manx Forums. He is posting as a member, a private individual, as do I. I’m not subject to scrutiny on here. At least I hope not!

I don’t think so, there are potentially dozens of different visitors to a school. Visitors without a DBS should be accompanied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll depend on the school/regional policy. In general, there always has to be a member of school staff present, unless there’s a very good reason, such as an appropriately vetted social worker working with a child. Which leads us back to the question of where the teacher was in this whole thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hope he's got an opinion and I think it would be a fair one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
