I'm not a lawyer either, but its an interesting question. It *might* be possible in certain situations, because an anonymous account still has a reputation of its own. The twitter person who might have an idea would be The Secret Barrister.I'm not a lawyer, but would love to understand (hypothetically) how an anonymous account with a fake name (not RSM obviously, who is really authentic and believable) could take legal action to defend their reputation?
Meant to say I checked all the re/quote tweets etc; didn't see a DHOTY tag at allOmg it is so obvious she is completely thrilled to have been tagged to DHOTYA. All this faux outrage
Any attention online is good attention to her.
Yeah, I would imagine if they’re reporting people in food banks to SS, it’s more that they’ve spotted the family needs extra help? They won’t remove kids on the basis that you’ve used a food bank. I’ve had no dealings with them, but I would imagine it’s actually harder to have children at risk removed than everyone thinks.Social Services aren’t just there to take children away. In fact it happens a little bit too rarely I think.
However they can access support for people struggling. They aren’t the bad guys.
SS could arrange for a family in a cramped house to be prioritised for a council house or help get a parent into work/access to the right benefits or funding for a child (nursery or free school meals). They could do plenty to help a struggling family. SS aren't going around like The Childcatcher, taking kids from poor families arbitrarilyYeah, I would imagine if they’re reporting people in food banks to SS, it’s more that they’ve spotted the family needs extra help?

I’ve worked (albeit briefly) with people who have CFS/ME and sadly there is a “type” that RSM encapsulates beautifully. The angry, I’m not going to listen to any advice because you don’t know me and my body, I’m going to kick and scream about how unfair life is instead type. It’s an awful diagnosis to have but sometimes people don’t or can’t help themselves at all and sadly it seems a pretty common reaction to CFS/ME.I hate to say it but In my early diagnosis days I was depressed and acted out kicking off like this. It didn’t las5 too long, I did have to do some apologizing when I’d got past it. I have known other women with ME/CFS who have stayed “stuck” in that mode and carry on like it for years, making their own life (and everyone else’s) harder.
Ha ha! Yes - birds of a feather, the whole sorry bunch of them. We know she isn’t but RSM would be the ultimate Jack sock puppet, wouldn’t it! I mean, they both use the same horror struck graphic language to wallow in their “lived experiences” etc.Sorry but if RSM spends the next couple of years very occasionally mentioning "book edits" with no sign of the book I'm going full RSM = JM truther, can't stop me
Obviously we don’t know the truth of what foodbanks do or don’t do but surely if there is a chance that children could be starving then a referral to social services might be the right thing to happen? They aren’t just going to take anyone’s children off them at the drop of a hat.Blimey she’s a gobby cow isn’t she? Just been on the hellsite and seen her rants about social services. Apparently food banks routinely refer families to social services.
Thats surely not a thing is it? Amazed nobody has challenged her on it.

Sorry that happened to you xxI very much doubt it. However, if they come into contact with somebody speaking of suicidal ideation/intent, there is evidence of physical abuse/neglect of an adult or child or disclosures made, they'd be legally (and morally) obliged to make a report, as otherwise, they could be turning a blind eye to the sort of things that make the news when people assume that Somebody Else Would Deal With It, it's a personal lifestyle choice or a 'cultural' matter/none of my business/not my problem.
A lot of foodbanks also put a huge amount of time into signposting people to other sources of help or providing some help themselves - such as with benefit claims, appeals against decisions, information and help to claim discretionary housing payments, prescription charges, etc. It's not all about trying to steal children for the private care sector or to eradicate certain ethnic groups. There is a historical context of organisations doing something this, yesside eyes the Church and not just the RC variety- but no, not now.
But then again, I also have bias in this - because I was kept off the radar deliberately to hide abuse. It's remarkable how similar in tone certain people are when they talk about conspiracies and interfering and so on. And how they respond to others who might disagree.
