I think we would definitely be better off without the NSPCC.
it is not much help in protecting children, in my opinion.

Certainly without the NSPCC which I suspect has some VERY nasty skeletons in its closet (mainly financial) - examination of which, I would guess, will shortly emerge in the mainstream media.

Don't even get me started on the large 'Pick your nose here' sign on my local Sainsbury's.
So my child didn't go to school in their pyjamas today (for which they were grateful) and most certainly didn't take in a donation so that the NSPCC could use it for their boundary-widening or poster campaigns that never acknowledge that some children don't tell the truth.
Rant over. For now.
I agree, Sheba. (what a lovely name )
What really annoys me about the assumption that children dont lie, is that it completely misses the point that a child who lies about such things might well have difficulties in other areas, which are ignored.
