The Government and shops are scanning us without clear laws in place, using our faces like barcodes.

What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms. 

But we will not be silenced.

‘Why fabricated or induced illness needs to be dropped as a child protection category’ By Andy Bilson and Taliah Drayak The term fabricated or induced illness (FII) was introduced in 2002 to replace the discredited idea of Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP). The label was meant to…

Excellent article by @bilson.org.uk & Drayak about the urgent need to withdraw the dangerous @rcpch.bsky.social FII guidance

⚠️Instead of support for complex care the system is primed for suspicion

The need for co-produced evidence based frameworks is vital

Understanding Parent Blame edited by Luke Clements and Ana Laura Aiello

Timely and important book that covers/uncovers the difficulties/trauma experienced by families when they are blamed for the illnesses/disabilities of their children. Plenty of coverage of false FII allegations. Parents of children failed by the SEND system will find the content all too familiar.
