The Social Services are seriously wasting their resources on this?

…Kirstie Allsopp’s parenting has engaged media attention a few times…when she said that she travelled first class, while her children were in regular class because they hadn’t yet ‘worked to earn that first class privilege’….and there was another time when she smashed her children’s iPads because they broke the rules of how much tech time they were given or some such thing…?…Anyway, whatever anyone’s personal thoughts are on inter-railing at a young age…it doesn’t feel as though she’s a person who takes well to being questioned…so yeah, I imagine…an ‘outraged Kirstie’….she doesn’t have to go public with these personal stories so she seems to put herself in the media and up for public discussion etc…

Did she do that?
Seems extreme

…as well as another ‘family disclosure’ she made of her children travelling separately in regular class on airline trips as they weren’t yet working to have earned ‘the first class flight that she had worked for…’….Kirstie does periodically engage public/media attention with her parenting reveals…

Yes. 2018

This has all gone wrong for her,
as someone told social services

Grassed her up


She tells the World.....................


Her son would have better communications
on his travels with his mate

…(…I think…)…with parental consent and parental approval, inter railing is fine and legal at 15yrs…but if social services have been contacted then they are legally obliged to check out any concerns…

He with a slightly older lad
so I hope Social Services
do not spend more than a day on this.

…from the media articles, it would seem like a one time conversation happened about the safeguarding that Kirstie put in place for the trip…and then just left an open file for the moment, which follows their own procedure…

No way would I allow either of my kids to go travelling at 15 years old with a 16 year old.

[Cherie]

In all honesty that seems very young to be travelling around Europe for 3 weeks on their own, so not really surprised but someone must have reported her?

In all honesty that seems very young to be travelling around Europe for 3 weeks on their own, so not really surprised but someone must have reported her?She posted it on Twitter so I'd imagine people from there reported her? I agree though, it's so young to allow a 15 year old to do that.

Everything I’ve learned about this woman has been against my will and everything I’ve learned points to the undeniable fact that she’s a certifiable idiot

[bots]

I don't really understand her motivations. It looks like she just shouts for attention some times

[Niamh.]

Oh actually wasn't she a big defender of the McCanns and leaving your very young children alone in a foreign country being perfectly normal and acceptable? Makes sense now, she clearly does similar stuff herself
