Bestpud and Sambucus; raise your points then leave it. It's not a point scoring thread. Your squabbles have taken up best part of page 2; who wants to read all that? It's not helpful and quite disrespectful to the OP's thread.

Last time I looked, anyone is able to post on here.

Please don't tell me what I can and cannot do. If you don't like the comments then feel free to report them. Otherwise you are just adding to the squabble you dislike so much.

Bearing in mind I'm not a mind reader - I can't actually tell you what could happen. However I and many others on here know of many incidents where people have posted too much information and been caught out on this forum.

One member was getting PMs from her partner's mistress and that's how she found out he was having an affair
One member got the sack because of their postings on here after they were outed on facebook [and that's another place that you need to lock down your info]
Plenty of people have had families/colleagues/associates/partners identify them and panicked as they have given out far too much info. Otherwise why all the AEs on here?

It's not always about you jumping to conclusions, but about the back story and personal situation. Of which we do not know.

It's totally naive to put too much info on here. End of!

Exactly! It is indeed unwise to put too much personal information on a forum, but naming the child's school and saying she is desperate for childcare poses no particular risk to the child or her parents.

No need for anyone to get uptight about this particular thread, end of!

Of course it does!

Unless you are all knowing and know for sure that IDing her/himself so blatantly will cause no issues whatsoever...

Who died and made you a Forum Leader?

It's an open forum and anyone can post. It's totally relevant to the OP as the OP was so open her/himself.

Why don't you leave it? Nobody wants to read your point scoring.

Of course it does! And it's not just about the risks to the child either. Two minutes' research has given me enough personal information about the OP to make your eyes water. People on this site never fail to shock me.

Your childs school office should have a list of childminders who do collections from them. Lots of after school clubs do school collections too, picking up a number of children in a taxi and taking them to their premises. My own childrens school has details of both of these.

After much interest from parents my boys school opened a breakfast and after school club at very reasonable rates. Alternatively do you have any friends who have children at the school who might help you out?

I work in a primary school, and we have a list of childminders in the school office who do drop offs/collections for our school.

I've just looked through the OP's old posts and have gathered nothing that would make my eyes water or offer hope to anyone who happens to be reading and wants to find a child to harm.

Ask her class teacher, they are usually a font of information and he/she will probably know of a mum or dad who will be willing to pick up your daughter after school when they collect their child. Is there an after school club, could you ask to leave a ad in the school staff room, one of the teaching assistants will probably be in a position to take her home. Ask every parent if they know of a registered childminder who will help out. Ask your old childminder if she knows someone else, just keep the word out and someone will turn up for you. Good luck.
