"Just picked up this quote from the Newcastle chronicle online. "Police were called to a swingers’ club after reports a child had entered. But when officers swooped on ClubF they were left red-faced - after realising the ‘child’ was in fact just a really small swinger." Does this prove that some people can be so narrow minded and uneducated about what the lifestyle actually is." No it just proved that a small guy looked like a child and shouldn't be going into an adult venue which strictly speaking may not be totally obvious to all  | |||

The general public don't need to be educated about swingi g but I'm glad they know what to do if they think a child might be in danger Ring the cops. Cops check its an honest mistake and swingers go back to swinging | |||

"Does this prove that some people can be so narrow minded and uneducated about what the lifestyle actually is. I’m lost as to how you even get to that conclusion." Indeed, I have actually seen very tiny women in swingers clubs (i.e. Well below five feet) and if you weren't able to see their faces you would assume they were children. Thus, anyone seeing someone looking like that going into a sex club (assuming faces aren't visible) is entirely right to alert the police. As someone above says, all it takes is for the police to look at the person concerned, confirm they are are an adult and then leave. This won't have been a big raid or anything. An officer would have politely described the person of concern to the owner and asked to see them. | |||

It's reassuring there are people out there watching out for the welfare of kids. False alarm with good intent. | |||

When people venture outside the fab echo chamber then they'd realise that the general public are inclined to lump swingers in with all sexual deviants, including paedophiles. Of to be clear, average Joe thinks there isn't much difference between a swinger and a paedophile. The mind boggling level of ignorance you need to have to think a child could enter a swinging club and you'd be the only person to pick up on it, certainly shows how narrow minded and uneducated the caller is about what the lifestyle actually is. | |||

I saw a man-bear-pig walking into the school and so i called the police. They told me not to waste their time, but if i saw it again then I'd call them because if i save one child from man-bear-pig then it's worth it. | |||

"So now you're saying that it's not that the person thought there was a paedophile orgy going on, but that a child was using a fake ID to enter an over 18s venue?

"Yes it's a good example.

"That's not what I said is it It was heavily implied. And if you don’t mean that at all, then your entire argument has zero substance. Not that that’s a first." Don't beat yourself up about the fact that nuance goes over your head. There's only so many hours in the day. | |||

As I say I know of two club owners who were sent to prison for sex offences. One involved under age sex. I have also been to some distinctly dodgy clubs where I pretty certain that if a 15 year old girl turned up with a fake ID, the owners wouldn't look too closely at it. | |||

Again, you accept there's a reasonable probability that paedophilia was or does go on in swinging clubs. Otherwise nothing you just said makes any sense. The question, which you are quick to forget, was whether this highlights the how uneducated the public are. The answer is obviously yes, either they don't know that there are no swinging clubs with facilities for paedophiles or they don't know that you have to be 18 to get in. Either way, uneducated. | |||

"Yes it's a good example. When people venture outside the fab echo chamber then they'd realise that the general public are inclined to lump swingers in with all sexual deviants, including paedophiles. Of to be clear, average Joe thinks there isn't much difference between a swinger and a paedophile. The mind boggling level of ignorance you need to have to think a child could enter a swinging club and you'd be the only person to pick up on it, certainly shows how narrow minded and uneducated the caller is about what the lifestyle actually is. Oh my. I hope that’s one massive bout of sarcasm. No, this is sarcasm. Once I was walking past a school and I'd forgotten I'd taken acid. I saw a man-bear-pig walking into the school and so i called the police. They told me not to waste their time, but if i saw it again then I'd call them because if i save one child from man-bear-pig then it's worth it. People know there's a local sex club. People also know that there are some illegal sex events that have underage participants. Pretty giant conflation at this point that undermines the entire point. Are paedophiles hosting parties at this swingers club? They see someone going into the sex club of a height which lots of children and very few adults have. What does the rational person do? I would suggest the rational person thinks it's possible it may be a very small adult, but it's also possible it might be a child. . The rational person then calculates the harmful effect that would accrue if the person is a child and he does nothing. (very large) against the harmful effect if it is an adult and he calls the police. (very small). The rational person therefore decides to call the police. Yes. Because paedophiles always state clearly where their parties are being held... Someone who looks at first glance to be underage is seen going into a sex club. It's checked out and found to be all ok. I really can't see your problem. Because for there to be a plausible risk then you have to believe that paedophilia is somewhat likely in a swinging club. You wouldn't phone the police to say you just saw a kid going into a sweet shop would you. You've really jumped the shark on this one. I will make this very simple. . It's not illegal for children to go into sweet shops. Hence you wouldn't call the police if you saw a kid going into a sweet shop. It is illegal for children to enter swingers club, so if you see someone who looks like a child entering a club, the public spirited thing to do is to call the police. If the person had been a child the offence was committed once they entered. It matters not what might happen thereafter in terms of whether or not the police should be involved. Yes and if man-bear-pig had gone into that school then the police would have been sorry they didn't believe me. So now you're saying that it's not that the person thought there was a paedophile orgy going on, but that a child was using a fake ID to enter an over 18s venue? Sorry, your argument has just got so ludicrous it's gone below my usually quite high tolerance for nonsense. Someone else if they can be bothered will now have to take up the baton. Nothing you said makes any sense without the realistic possibility of paedophilia going on in swinging clubs. The question was whether the example shows the public are uneducated. Clearly, if you think there is paedophilia going on at swinging clubs then you are poorly educated on the subject. Hope that clears it up for you. Right one last try. It's illegal for children to enter swingers clubs whether it is for a Paedo orgy or because they have scammed the owner with a fake ID. Hence if you see someone who looks like a child entering a club, the public spirited thing to do is to call the police. Calling the police on one particular occasion implies no judgement on what swingers are like generally. No more that reporting a pub landlord who looks like he is serving underage drinkers implies a belief that all pub landlords are corrupters of youth. You just contradicted yourself! I give up. You've drawn me in now. Where's the contradiction? Nah you didn't, I misread the first read through. You're basically arguing that the owners are either unwilling or unable to refuse children entry, which seems to be an extrapolation of your comment about 15 year olds. I don't think that's a reasonable probability and that's where we differ. " This is embarrasing | |||

"Just picked up this quote from the Newcastle chronicle online. "Police were called to a swingers’ club after reports a child had entered. But when officers swooped on ClubF they were left red-faced - after realising the ‘child’ was in fact just a really small swinger." Does this prove that some people can be so narrow minded and uneducated about what the lifestyle actually is." I think all it proves is that an upstanding member of the public raised concern for who they believed to be a child and the police did their job. End result, false call good intent. | |||

We don't have enough information to know who is at fault here, the club, the locals or a mixture of both. The problem here is that you have once again approached the issue with a particular dogma.

In answer to the question, in my experience the general public do think swingers are perverts and have a complete failure to understand the lifestyle. They can group all non vanilla sexual activities as deviant regardless of whether they are legal and consensual or not. | |||

It’s like Jeremy Paxman, Piers Morgan and Andrew Neil have joined Fab." Helps if people don't get jumped on for having an opinion. The issue seems quite simple, if you think there's a reasonable probability that a kid would get into a swinging club then they did the right thing. If you don't, then you think they were stupid for calling. | |||

They can be asked or challenged, but there's no legal compunction to. Well, only on Fab obvs.... | |||

"Helps if people don't get jumped on for having an opinion." No, no, you didn’t get jumped on for having an opinion. You got called out for (once again) talking shite which you (once again) couldn’t back up. "The issue seems quite simple, if you think there's a reasonable probability that a kid would get into a swinging club then they did the right thing. If you don't, then you think they were stupid for calling. " The irony is that you’re saying it’s simple, and then getting it wrong. Still making that basic mistake of not understanding the difference between probability and possibility. Even after it’s been pointed out. That’s weapons grade ignorance right there. | |||

"Just picked up this quote from the Newcastle chronicle online. "Police were called to a swingers’ club after reports a child had entered. But when officers swooped on ClubF they were left red-faced - after realising the ‘child’ was in fact just a really small swinger." Does this prove that some people can be so narrow minded and uneducated about what the lifestyle actually is. In answer to the question, in my experience the general public do think swingers are perverts and have a complete failure to understand the lifestyle. They can group all non vanilla sexual activities as deviant regardless of whether they are legal and consensual or not. " | |||

"Yes and risk is expressed in probability. " Risk assessment isn’t just about the probability or likelihood of something, it’s also about how harmful that something is. Unless the chances of something are nil then there is, by defenition, a risk. And in the practical application of risk assessment (risk management) unknown risks should be treated as high risks. Or, in layman’s terms, ‘better safe than sorry’. So, given the ease with which this situation could be resolved, in which the risk is unknown, how is it at all unreasonable for it to be reported and investigated? | |||

"Well I never. Interesting topic. On review of the OP scenario, I would concur that my opinion is that from the phonecall of concern - even if due to local prejudice against the venue for reasons unknown - it does not follow on that this evidences that the general public have uneducated views on the swingers scene. That point does not however, mean the public don’t hold uneducated or narrow minded views on the scene, but the followup of concern does not provide the evidence for this for a number of logical reasons. At the most stripped back you could possibly hazard a guess (guess, you don’t know) that perhaps (meaning not definitely) the actual caller might (still uncertain) have an uneducated or narrow minded view but that’s still a guess. To extrapolate that to the whole public is ludicrous. Re the interactions on the thread, my opinion because I want to state it, is that some people enjoy a challenge/discussion/debate/row. They’ve as much right to do that as people have right to not like it. I actually find it quite interesting to read and it’s not every thread, you’re never going to please everyone. Re the accusations of being rude or arrogant or namecalling or telling others how they should and shouldn’t post - yeah, there’s some butting of heads and maybe people could be mindful but also if someone is being rude to another I think all of they key discussion members are robust enough to tell each other if they’re upset or whatever by it and each would stop if that was the case. I think actually, they probably all enjoy the opportunity to lock horns especially when it’s to point out valid instances of inaccurate comment presentation. For a few of the people that don’t argue the points of the OP but like to jump about gleefully pointing out how rude others are and sarcastically poking at people, to be honest those are the posters I think are rather sad. There’s an element of gloating about being able to tell someone off. I find that actually as rude a behaviour as the elements of interaction they’re proudly jumping around about. What’s the name of the little creature chained up by Jabba the Hutt, the one that is all excited about the torture about to be inflicted on others? Salacious Crumb. That’s what that kind of behaviour is representative of. My opinion. Take it or leave it. " So, a pissing contest? | |||

I think actually, they probably all enjoy the opportunity to lock horns especially when it’s to point out valid instances of inaccurate comment presentation. For a few of the people that don’t argue the points of the OP but like to jump about gleefully pointing out how rude others are and sarcastically poking at people, to be honest those are the posters I think are rather sad. There’s an element of gloating about being able to tell someone off. " Lol " I find that actually as rude a behaviour as the elements of interaction they’re proudly jumping around about. What’s the name of the little creature chained up by Jabba the Hutt, the one that is all excited about the torture about to be inflicted on others? Salacious Crumb. That’s what that kind of behaviour is representative of. My opinion. Take it or leave it. " | |||

"I'm amazed by this. No harm was done - either by the caller or the police response. Everyone presumably carried on with their shagging, including the little person. I must be missing something that it causes such agitation." Harm was done. I was offended. | |||

"many a true word said in jest! That’s not really the sort of situation that phrase is used for." Not sure if I'm allowed to say this. But a Scottish newspaper outed the Krankies as swingers some years ago. Stranger things have happened than mrs t going to a swingers club. | |||

Yes, that's my opinion until such time as there's a representative opinion poll of what the average person thinks of swingers. Then I'll be happy to update my opinion if the poll says something different. | |||

I think you can still watch it on 4 on demand. I accept it's totally anecdotal but nobody felt at all inclined to support the guy. If anyone had said gay men / trans men / black men shouldn't be allowed to see their grandchildren then i bet someone would have spoken up. | |||
