Was on first part of child protection course this week.

Had to smile at comments made. 3 years ago a french childminder said she would instantly call social services if she saw a child under 5 playing out on the street but when asked how she would react to a child watching porn with her father, her reply was 'well it depends what sort of porn'

This week a nursery assistant in her 50's but fairly new to childcare made me smile. She thought that a 3 yr old turning up at nursery in latest fashion dress and high heeled shoes was abuse and gave it highest score of 10.

I know child protection issues arent black or white but it did make me think on way home

You do have to wonder about some people, don't you?

Much as I hate Peppa Pig, it would still be my preferred choice over 50 Shades of Grey. I'd obviously be rubbish as a childminder in France :blush:
