Thinking out loud, when has a movement made up predominantly of middle aged women, most of whom are mothers, ever been on the “wrong side” of child protection and safeguarding? Ever?

OP didn't ask "right side of history" but specifically safeguarding, so answer to your Q is no, they haven't.

White women in the South who organized in favor of segregation absolutely did see it as a matter of "child safeguarding"

Lol at the idea that there's any kind of opposition between "reactionary" and "safeguarding" Every reactionary movement in the history of the world has positioned itself as a "child safeguarding" movement, it's the most potent possible rallying cry Read the 14 Words

talking about reality rather than perception/"positioning", though realise the identity brigade would struggle with that.

So you're going with "As long as you remove all the times moms were wrong, moms are always right"

A more charitable reading would be «As long as you remove all the times "child safeguarding" was used in bad faith by people who did not give a shit about kids» Then again, someone who uses "identity brigade" deserves no such charity.
