I agree. She’s in a very difficult position and I don’t envy her one bit. It must be so hard. But as a mother I think she has a responsibility to speak up. I’m sad for her but finding it harder and harder to sympathise with her as the days roll by without any mention of anything.

yep I think if she can't deal with it personally she should take a break or instruct someone to make a statement on her behalf. if children were going to brownies or guides and this happened, the organisation would have to deal with it and reassure parents.

The problem is by ignoring it she is telling children going through grooming and abuse that watch their channel that it’s something you shouldn’t talk about, something that they shouldn’t share and something no one will believe.

When I experienced grooming and abuse I wasn’t in a position to tell anyone and no one spoke about it on tv or anything, if a story like this broke and was dealt with in this way I would have been convinced talking about it was a bad idea.

I’m so sorry to hear you had that experience. It is so important that we make people feel comfortable to come forward and speak out when they have been treated wrongly. Nobody should feel alone, embarrassed or afraid.

It’s so true, it took me until I was in my 20’s to even admit to myself fully what had happened and that’s without a celebrity/influencer culture that these kids have today.

You are brave. I noticed the girls who came out are similar in the respect that it took them a while (at least a few months) to realise they were being groomed, because they were so young. Groomers/abusers are quite cunning like that.

It’s hard to explain to people but for me the grooming was the worst part because you realise you have been manipulated and brainwashed by someone and that you didn’t even notice it happening. It makes trusting yourself and other peoples intentions very difficult.

Yes! I've noticed from screenshots provided by the girls who came forward, Chris Ingham plays a clever little game. He acts all charming, and like your best friend - very playful then lays on personal compliments like "you're so pretty", "you must have boys falling for you" to...

Imagine being a young girl (or boy in many other cases) and someone ‘famous’ or ‘popular’ has singled you out for attention, is talking about you being friends and making you feel beautiful and special...

Yep! That's exactly the game. He has a huge following and to be single out for attention makes you feel super special and flattered. That's his power and how he abused it when he deliberately misused it to go after the girls.
