@woodbine you want the explanation here it is st the age of 14 I was put in care becsuse my mum had mental health problems there were 6 other girls and 4 boys
For two years the others maybe longer we were sexualy abused locked in our rooms ridiculed when we told someone those of us who could speak wearnt believed who believes disabled teenagers we were told every day we were scum should of been aborted a burden on society
One night we were locked as usual in our rooms that night two lives were were gone couldnt tske sny more but saved the ones that were left
To cut it short the truth came out as evidence of abuse was found we all got checked out those of us that could talk gave evidence took two years to get to court the home shut down straight away the people responsible taken away then on remand two years later sentenced
My name was changed along with the others any benefits or anything like that we never have to fill forms in and we don't have to give previous addresses we are marked as vulnerable people there are lots of prople who don't have to fill in the forms because they are marked as vulnerable
Does this now answer your question -
All woodbine asked was did someone else make the call (to trigger your PIP review)? You didn't need to give any other explanation; that's all he asked.

@chiarieds I am being called a liar and everything doesn't matter whst I say this bullying is to force me off the forum becsuse poppy has left I gave the explanation why I don't have to fill in forms now maybe people will stop picking and having a go

No-one has called you a liar; a simple question was asked, that's all. Knowing others experiences can often help future members. It was just asked if someone made a phone call on your behalf? Such questions are often asked to better help others, as I've said. If you don't want to say if someone else phoned on your behalf, that's fine.Just wondering, why do you think Poppy leaving might have anything to do with you?

@chiarieds because its been said

@chiarieds and when its said it doesn't happen and misinformation and get a private message saying the same

This needs to stop now because this harrassment has gone on on multiple threads now. Its time someone from Scope stepped in and dealt with it!

If you’ve an issue with something then, frankly, the justifications for saying so out loud are thin indeed. Click on the Flag button and report to Scope.

Actually Mike we do because remaining silent on situations where wrong doing is going on means that people are indirectly complicit in allowing it to continue.
I was brought up to speak out against something if a wrong doing was going on.
How many times have we heard from victims of various situations that people were aware of what was going on and chose to turn 'a blind eye' and that had they not the person would have been helped sooner or had the courage to seek help and deal with it.
'Turning a blind eye' is rarely referenced in a positive manner
As to your point of 'points scoring' again an incorrect assumption because if any of the people involved who are currently doing it were on the receiving end of it I would speak up for them as well
This is a case of personal morality and has nothing to do with gaining a personal advantage.
I come on here to chat to people in a similar situation as mine and have a plesant experience and on the whole this is what happens here but there comes a point when people do need to speak up and say enough is enough when the status quo is being disrupted. -
@lisathomas50 I just want to say im so sorry to read everything you went through in your life. It’s so sad you felt you had to share it. Stay strong and stay safe.

well we'll just have to agree to disagree Mike
