Roughly translates to:

“We made a film about Kayleigh being murdered and we got so many views on the internet that now we’ve made one where Breck has this throat slit and we are going to show it to children again despite mounting evidence against it.”

The people who have made this and funded this have read the #nomoreCSEfilms report and know that national organisations are now opposing the use of traumatic films with children but are ignoring the warnings and the well-being of children

We cannot just keep making shock tactic films of kids being murdered to solve a global social issue of sex offending and child abuse. It doesn’t work. Has CSE reduced since they made a film about Kayleigh being raped and murdered? Have we protected more kids? No.

Absolutely no regard for the well-being and safety of thousands of children who will be forced to watch this with no consent and no option to withdraw in schools in U.K.

Goes against EVERY rule of ethics we have.

And you know something, I know people who have seen this film already and not a single one has said anything positive about this film. Everyone is horrified that this is a strategy to be used with kids in 2018.

And some are insulted that the sexual element of brecks murder has been deliberately removed - they were told it was because they didn’t think boys would ‘identify’ with the film if they showed or implied the sexual abuse.

What? Boys are abused too. You can’t erase that.

Let’s be honest. These films are made with good intention but have absolutely no effect on offending against children, detection rates, disclosure rates, conviction rates.
