Grrrrr
« on: December 17, 2012, 02:40:42 PM »
There's a big children's charity in the UK that do letters from Father Christmas.  My mum sends one to my son via this organisation each year - it's from Santa, of course, so I can't 'do' anything it.  That's how she sees it.  It got here very late this year, I thought that it wasn't going to happen.  I've emailed the charity, explaining that the letter comes from the wife of the man who sexually abused me and that I find her sending this to my son via a charity that claims to help protect children rather disturbing, and I've asked them if there's anyway of flagging it up on the system so she can't do it again.  Nothing more I can do but it made me feel physcially sick.  I'm trying to 'process' more where my step-dad is concerned at the mo so am feeling quite urgh about him at the moment anyway.  I wouldn't even mind if she sent him a Christmas card but it's the anonymous sneaking around that bothers me - nothing is ever in the open, as it is, obvious and there, it's always hidden, sneaky, stuff you can't directly deal with.  Yuck.

I would hope they would be able to flag problems....especially if it came from pedophiles and stalkers!

I agree with Bones. I would think that any children's charity would have a system in place for flagging pedophiles and similar offenders, as that would likely be a method that those types would use to get to people. Hopefully they'll work with you on this one. Using a charity as a way to get to someone is beyond despicable.

Thanks all, I have just heard back from the charity in question and they are looking into it and will contact me as soon as they have sorted something out - they seem quite upset that their service is being used in this way and do seem to be trying to do something about it.  Fingers crossed there will some way of stopping it for next year (although I do wonder how long she would keep doing it for - he's already too old for this sort of thing - perhaps she'd just keep going until he's in his twenties?!).  Thank you

Well that's good news. Hopefully they will take measures to stop this in the future.
