What exactly is the “age appropriate way” for my 12yr old daughter to be told how we’ve imported the barbaric medieval practice of cutting off a girl’s clitoris & sewing her vagina shut so her future husband can be sure he’s marrying a virgin? Just wondering...https://twitter.com/CCHQPress/status/1099600682687049729 …

If I had a son or a daughter I would want them armed with enough information to keep them safe. Its not unreasonable to talk about it.
-
The indigenous population of this country have not been in the habit of performing FGM on their children.

Totally agree with you Julia! You need to target the Communities that are vulnerable to this practice not ones that aren’t....absolutely ludicrous
-
But targeting the communities which carry the highest risk of this is racist, apparently.

It’s was never like this years ago! It’s a crazy world we live in now

They aren’t the only children in the country. Not all national policies are going to apply to everyone…
-
It's going to be compulsory in all schools - that's a national policy. So my kids will get it in Devon but I wonder who will force the Trojan Horse schools to deliver it?
-
I mean they won’t apply to their individual experience, I understand it’ll be enforced nationally.

Julia, the kids that are at risk will be able to opt out!

Do you think your children might know children at risk (probably not given most of your views to be fair)? But if you do, would it not be useful for them to know it happens and be able to help spot the signs of such abuse?
-
You want to turn children into the FGM police? Surely the proper authorities can deal with this.

They may make friends from communities where it is a possibility. Then they could help them. Will you not teach them about predators? Even though they are statistically unlikely to have any contact with them.

Well you seem to. Explaining yr own appalling utterances will be hard enough for yr daughter to take. Shameless.

The child protection agencies do. When they selected a picture of a girl at risk it was of a white western girl.
