Eh? I hope this isn't true. I have heard nothing at all about any of this,
and to be honest it does sound 'sound' true  - who told you this, Anneleis?

Every so often, a mother gets into the newspapers because she has been
asked to leave somewhere because she is bf - but there is always a huge
outcry in support of her (as well as people who say she's disgusting etc
etc) . But there's no law I know of.  I haven't heard of sexual abuse and
bf at 3 being linked in any way, though I can't say that the UK as a
society would be supportive of  it.

Magda - have you heard anything????
