You may ask yourself are charities like Childline & the NSPCC, who are now one, are they really spending our public money wisely? the answer is NO! Did you know that the NSPCC & Childline are wasting millions of pounds each year and its getting worse? Did you know that out of £1.00 of public dontions 90p is wasted on admin, very little indeed goes to child abuse, as such the  NSPCC enjoy buying executive company cars for staff, being the latest jags or other top of the range vehicles, HELLO AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?

Some people even have direct debits set up and pay monthly amounts, I really don’t know how many people actually know how serious this matter is, why do you the UK public support such a cause!! I have been attacked by supporters of NSPCC for exposing there spending habits, why should I not allow the general public now what they are up too, they spend more money like there is no tomorrow on raising more cash and for the fat cats at the end of it to get a big bonus. I’m sorry but there is no excuse for this madness. I hear some good news that Mary Marsh is finally resigning, the best news I have heard for a long time). why can’t they follow the fine examples of NCH thats spend over 90p or more on children). I have nothing but hold great respect for NCH spending, this is a charity that the NSPCC and Childline need take note of and follow in there footsteps.

Did you know they also Jet off 1st class travel only, here and there and wasting your money? are you happy with this? first class travel is no objective to this business, its no way a charity, greed and power its gone mad? Did you know that the NSPCC is more like a commercial business now than a charity? Are you happy with how they are been abusing public donations? (I refused to get any funding from the NSPCC, as I do not want to be associated with there scandels and disgraceful methods). I do think some of things they do are very good, however 80% of what there doing is so damn wrong!!

I’d like to take over the charity, I would sacked every single member of the trusties as they are not doing there job properly and the chairman would have to go as well, and the thorn in my backside Mary Marsh the (director) you would have to go first!! You may bully other charities and trusts, but I am not backing down too you!! (I am letting the public exactly know what your charity is up too).

As a child that suffered abuse I am certainly not happy with the NSPCC they didn’t help me and they are failing abused children every single day!! I won’t publish some of the damning e-mails I get from both victims and survivors. (As they certainly will raise some eye brows to say the least), instead I am compiling evidence to produce to the charity commission to investigate and make the public aware.

Image and expensive posh parties are more important than spending money on child abuse, campaigning to raise cash is more important than actually helping children in need, that are vulnerble and at serious risk. I am speaking out as I have had enough of there reckless spending habits.These charities spend more on flashy functions than a small average charity receives in donations in a year; they go through so many volunteers and have gone far too big and have failed to meet targets in relation to children, I would like to see an independent public inquiry to investigate these two charities concerned.

Have you ever worked for the NSPCC or Childline, would you like to speak out? Then please contact us.
Aare you a child that has been let down by these charities then you have a right to speak out, please e-mail us or comment on this blog.

DID YOU KNOW THAT NSPCC & CHILDLINE ACT MORE LIKE ANOTHER GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT? A COMMERCIAL BUSINESS THAT HAVE NOT GOT A CLUE IN HOW TO ACT RESPONSIBLY WHEN IT COMES TO 100 OF MILLIONS OF DONATIONS GIVEN TO THEM BY US!

The Charity Commission should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen. Big charities are bullying and not being policed correctly; why is the media not exposing this ongoing scam? because these two charities pay millions on advertising to the media, “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”!

I am an out spoken person, my job is to make sure that child abuse is stopped, not in a way of throwing lavish parties with public donations. I have had enough of these two charities using abused children, to raise money for themselves and then to go on and abuse its funds.

I think most of the UK public would like to see an inquiry into the accounts of the NSPCC and Childline. Yes, its all in there accounts they say; so why are so many of us so naive and keep giving to charities that do nothing but help themselves

I have alot against NSPCC or Childline as their ridiculous spending of public donations and campaigning has gone beyond all madeness. A shake up is urgently needed so start paying attention Mary Marsh! I think the time has come to “FULL STOP” NSPCC getting away with this scandal.

I am all for people donating money, but only if it is going to where it is needed, CHILDREN in this case!!

I am exposing this fact as I am tired of these charities using children’s misfortune for their own benefits, harsh words but this needs to be addressed.

I am sure the NSPCC and Childline are capable of sorting this mess out, I have lost all confidence in these two charities however, they need a big shake up and I am willing too do it for nothing!

Why? because I really do care for child abuse victims.

Now we come to the fact, do we trust charities like the NSPCC & Childline to deliver a good service to Vulnerable Children, the answer in my opinion is NO!  When I was a child, they never helped me - I felt betrayed and let down; they could of done more to help me, are they really interested in my views? NO they are not, Why? because they do not like to be challenged.

Are they really doing all they can for vulnerable children, NO, they are not, and they could do a lot more.  I have found that NSPCC and Childline find other charities and foundations a threat to them. I am really annoyed also that the Government has just given 30 million to the NSPCC. Mary Marsh needs to go and should be sacked over the mishandling of public donations.

I have no time for greedy charities that use children to raise money for there own gain! Where is the money really going? certainly not enough in stopping child abuse.

Do you think that NSPCC, Childline and the BBC’s Children in Need have a duty too give money to important charities that offer counselling to children over 16? The answer is NO, not according to them, so these children grow up and end up where you may ask? What happened to breaking the chains of abuse, FULL STOP I thought the NSPCC was interested in?

NAPAC and Foundations like mine are snubbed, yet it is Charities and organizations like ours that really count and make the difference to help victims to break the silence and get help and to break the chains and circle of abuse? you cannot do half of the job and leave the rest.

Draw your own conclusions! Child abuse starts with ADULTS!

The real issues here need addressing once and for all! Someone needs to wake up and smell the roses as something really stinks about all this.

NSPCC told to spend its cash on children not campaigning

The charity’s aggressive and high-profile advertising campaigns ensured it an income of more than 100 million in 2003

But Lord Laming, chairman of the Climbie inquiry, said the work of such organisations was seriously undermined by a lack of “basic systems and processes” when it was revealed that the NSPCC’s family centre failed to visit Victoria once in the six months between receiving an urgent referral and her death from appalling abuse.

Now the charity is accused of spending too much time trying to ban parental smacking and too little on children at genuine risk of abuse. Civitas, the Institute for the Study of Civil Society, claims supporters would be horrified by the sums of money spent on “preaching” campaigns, funds that would be better spent on front-line work to protect children.

“So many children’s charities have cut back on actual child protection to concentrate on quite tendentious issues,” said Robert Whelan, Civitas director. “I took a very cynical view when, at the time the NSPCC was being lambasted (by the Climbie inquiry), it launched yet another in-your-face anti-smacking campaign.

“It was trying to seize the moral high ground when it had failed to do the very thing we want it to do, intervene to save children like Victoria.” Families First, a family advocacy group, accused the NSPCC of questionable tactics after the charity published a poll claiming that the majority of parents supported legal reform against smacking.

“The truth is that it didn’t ask what people thought about smacking; it asked how people felt about ‘hitting’ children which is altogether different,” said Norman Wells, of Families First.

“It is like asking whether doctors should be allowed to stab their patients. Everyone would say ‘no’ but it would be dishonest to draw the conclusion that there was an overwhelming public support for a legal ban on inoculations.”

The NSPCC strongly rejects such criticism, arguing that its remit is to prevent harm to children before it happens, as well as afterwards. Any suggestions that the charity had lost public confidence, was in crisis, or harboured views that were unrepresentative were “absolutely not true”.

“We [tackle child cruelty] by being available on the ground locally, through our helpline nationally and through public education,” said Mary Marsh, NSPCC director. “Hitting children is wrong and dangerous and the nature of our present law does not protect children at all.”

The society has just announced plans to spend another ? million on an advertising campaign by Saatchi and Saatchi to outlaw smacking. Such campaigns were not a waste of money just because ministers would not support them, Miss Marsh said.

The NSPCC, which employs 1,800 staff, is the only children’s charity with statutory powers to take action to safeguard children at risk. It can apply for a court order to place a child under supervision or in care but normally works with the police and social services to assess risk and deal with it.

It operates 180 child protection teams across England, Wales and Northern Ireland but spends less than 50 per cent of its budget on “child protection and preventative services and projects”.

David Hinchliffe, Labour chairman of the Commons health select committee, believes it is right for the NSPCC to adopt a more campaigning role against child abuse and corporal punishment. “With improved statutory services for child protection, raising awareness is what it should be about,” he said.

But NCH, another children’s charity, takes a different approach. “We spend 92p in the pound on children’s services,” said Miriam Solly, NCH director of communications.

“We are very service-led and subsequently our profile is nowhere near as high (as the NSPCC’s) which I am not arguing is always a good thing.”

Miss Marsh remains unrepentant about the NSPCC’s approach. “You could not end cruelty to children just by providing services for a few children in a few places,” she said. “You have got to campaign publicly and it has worked.

“If you go back six or seven years, people used to deny children were abused on the scale we now know is true.”

Miss Marsh, who joined the NSPCC only two years ago, seven months after Victoria Climbie’s death, insisted that the organisation was now “fit for the future”.

Victoria’s death had forced the organisation to look critically at itself and it remained committed to learning lessons from the case.

“No organisation ever wants to be involved in having failed. Sometimes when things go wrong, people can be shocked and concerned but if they pay attention to how you deal with it, confidence can increase,” said Miss Marsh.

Members of the public could have absolute confidence that when they referred children to the NSPCC, the case would be dealt with properly, she said.
