Information from a “family member” is subjective.
My Aunt has family she doesn’t speak to and if asked, would say she was the biggest bleep going, other family who would tell you she’s a thoroughly decent human who would do anything for anyone. The former members of that family would badmouth her at the drop of a hat to make themselves look the innocent party, the rest of us know the truth.
Any family member that comes forward and says they have information should be taken with a pinch of salt. They either come on here as the rest of us do openly or they stop stirring the proverbial pot.
Whatever the story with the boys Mother, we will never know the truth. What we do know is, it’s clearly traumatic for them and should never have been brought to social media unless the boys themselves chose to discuss it. Childhood trauma is not content for profitable social media content and it’s time she realised that instead of wheeling them out every time that net seems to close in on her.
If they were taken away for their own protection, Josh has a duty of care to keep them protected and that means off public social media accounts that highlight their vulnerability and disclose their personal information to any Tom, Dick or Harry. Until she stops exposing them as vulnerable young men, people will continue to raise the red flags with social services and, whether it’s warranted or not, she only has herself to blame.
I’m yet to become a parent but what I do know, is the one thing that mortify me is social services to keep rocking up in my doorstep or in my mail and then have to explain to my own children why the general public do not think I’m a good parent.
