One of the most shocking spins on this latest scandal that I've heard is that children wouldn't need to go behind their parents' back if they had supportive parents.

A short timeline:

* 2017 - Mermaids implicated in high court case surrounding the medicalised abuse of a child.

* 2019 - The National Lottery gives funding to Mermaids, in spite of said court case

* 2020 - in an act of spite against JK Rowling, Emma Watson brags about donating money to Mermaids and suggests her followers, many of whom are children themselves, will "Perhaps feel inclined to do the same".

If - or when - Mermaids go down, perhaps we will feel inclined to hold their enablers to account, too.
