Bringing Up Baby - again, sadly

I've had a couple of comments through our socialbaby.com website about Claire Verity and her involvement in ABC Australia's showing of Bringing Up Baby.

There was huge protest here in the UK resulting in the UK newspaper, The Times completely discrediting Claire Verity. She is completely unqualified, and the UK broadcaster, Channel Four and the production company are aware of this. Here is the article

We have a history of the campaign, including a petition to 10 Downing Street to have the programme stopped on our website...

Many many organisations tried to make sure this sort of programme never gets made or broadcast again. This should never have been broadcast in or outside the UK and shows how much work there is to be done to protect infants and their families from abuse by the television industry.

I would urge anyone who is interested to post an offical complaint to the ABC - their complaints page is
