I posted the link to the petition on a mainstream parenting board. I also posted links to websites explaining ContactPoint. There was only one reply from someone saying they signed it - the rest were all ‘I don’t see the problem’ or ‘I don’t know anything about it’! Are HE parents the only ones who take the future and rights of their children seriously? It’s just really hit home to me that it’s all the more important that those of us who *do* understand the issues make a fuss, if the vast majority of parents are willing to just be swept along and trust the government without question. It also shows how important it is that we bring our children up to question authority - if no one questions it, that’s when it becomes totally corrupt.
I posted it on Netmums (which I can’t usually visit because of its impact on my blood pressure) where it didn’t seem to get much response, but lots of Mumsnet people were saying they’d signed it, and I’m guessing that contributed to the 100 new signatures over the past 36 hours

We just signed it–it’s up to 568–pretty sad considering how many families there are.
