Paedophiles make different decisions and live a different lived experience...this doesn't make it right.
Your comment ENO makes no sense...neither you or VS are being targeted, posters of all ages are expressing their opinions.

Now there’s a sensible comment.

That's not how safeguarding works Experiencednotold. Oh and I am in my fifties.

Shep - ditto.
There’s no point on my commenting further, you all put it so much better.
I’ll go and shower my loo / feed next door’s cat…

These arguments are so frustrating - just apply some common sense and gumption for heaven’s sake

‘A different lived experience’? Well that’s what these little ones will be getting for sure. It’s not always a good idea to try to replicate one’s lived experience or base one’s moral code on it. Some lived experiences are infinitely more acceptable than others.

My lived and work experience left me with an understanding of grooming, child sexual exploitation and safeguarding. Of course that influences my view if this

Excellent post Dickens
I agree with everything you say.
(FTR I’m 51 & 1 month old)

They obviously consider you VioletSky as today’s target. With a jab at me - unnamed - with reference to moral code. I maintain that times and decisions are different due to a different lived experience.

Experienced not old - being 64 so younger than some of us doesn’t mean you’re more forward thinking in your moral code. It means your moral code is unacceptable to the majority.

How anyone can look at this and not see the risks is beyond me

If that is a true response from the organisers that 'babies would not understand what was being performed' it is one if the most inappropriate responses I have ever seen. The fact that babies dont understand what is happening should never be used as a defense.

☝️ This.

I've just seen a video of a baby sitting in its high chair watching Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma on a TV. It gradually ceased all its fidgeting, stared fixedly at the screen, occasionally looking at its parents and smiling, and then going back to the screen, staring open-mouthed.

I'm sure the baby didn't pick up the finer points of the aria, nor have any understanding of tragedy, but it sensed or felt something pleasurable, or interesting.

I don't believe that babies or toddlers are totally immune to what is going on in front of them. They may not understand in the way we do as adults, but this is a crucial period in their development and they soak up their surroundings like sponges.

There may not be anything damaging in watching men dangling upside down in bondage gear, it could even make them laugh, but that's not the point. It's the cynical, dismissive attitude... the comment about f***ing Wheels-on-the-Bus, the self-indulgence... blow the kids, I want my fun. And drinking whilst in charge of children? Maybe in the home environment when there's others around who aren't...

I know I'll be thought of as a prude, but I don't mind. I'm obeying a gut instinct. We have a duty of care towards children.

Thanks , Toscalily that answers my thoughts and sums it all up.
Why want to annoy people?

I remember it well.

Well VS did say in the past:
When I've had enough of gransnet, I just comment more to be annoying

Reading through all the comments I don't believe VS means half of what she says. I think it is to see how others react and reply.

I do wonder what judgement the parents of the children you have in your care would pass on you VS if they were aware of your views , I for one would not be comfortable leaving my children in your classroom.

Hardly something that should be encouraged is it?

No, it isn't.

Surely the best thing to do for Mothers is to hire a babysitter (if single) and go out for the night to see something like this, with their mates if that's what they want to do. Dressing it up as a baby sensory experience is ridiculous

VioletSky

I'm just not a judgemental person

I bet a lot who know you are. Where do your ideas come from? I've heard of forward-thinking but yours take the biscuit.
