Today’s, self-serving, tax exploiting cold-as-charity, NSPCC was launched in 1884 to fight largely non-sex, child labour and cruelty in slum-ridden Victorian Britain.
Now 130 years on, its time for the sex-and-age obsessed NSPCC Bullshit To Stop - FULL STOP !
The NSPCC’s campaigning role has often been controversial. The Guardian reported ‘New Philanthropy Capital’ recently concluded that its campaigning is “flawed and naïve” and that there is “zero evidence” that £250m the NSPCC has spent on its recent “Full Stop” campaign actually benefited any children. The NSPCC also received complaints, amongst other things, for “cold” mailing young mothers with a “babies’ names” booklet containing instead a detailed list of the deaths of babies.
In recent years, the charity has faced criticism for its stance on contact visits to children following parents’ separation. The NSPCC has consistently opposed an automatic right of contact for both parents, arguing that this is not necessarily in the best interests of the child. This stance has led to criticism both in Parliament and by the fathers’ rights group Fathers4Justice. In 2004, the London headquarters of NSPCC were briefly invaded and occupied by Fathers4Justice supporters, claiming that the NSPCC “ignores the plight of 100 children a day who lose contact with their fathers” and that they promote a “portrayal of men as violent abusers.”
The NSPCC also faced criticism for failing (along with other organisations) to do enough to help Victoria Climbié and prevent her death, and also for misleading the inquiry into her death.
The organisation has also faced criticism for its allegedly increasing obsession with publicity and advertising, for fear- mongering and supposedly fabricating or exaggerating facts and figures in its research. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, a moral panic emerged over alleged ritual satanic abuse. The NSPCC provided a publication known as ‘Satanic Indicators’ to social services around the country that has been blamed for some social workers panicking and making false accusations. The most prominent of these cases was in Rochdale in 1990 when up to 20 children were taken from their homes and parents after social services believed them to be involved in satanic or occult ritual abuse. The allegations were later found out to be false. The case was the subject of a BBC documentary which featured recordings of the interviews made by NSPCC social workers, revealing that flawed techniques and leading questions were used to gain evidence of abuse from the children. The documentary claimed that the social services were wrongly convinced, by organisations such as the NSPCC, that abuse was occurring and so rife that they made allegations before any evidence was considered.
In an article on ‘Spiked’, Frank Furedi professor of sociology at the University of Kent, branded the NSPCC a “lobby group devoted to publicising its peculiar brand of anti-parent propaganda and promoting itself.”
