Hello.

First of all I’m sorry I’ve not been on line over Christmas, it’s not a good time of year. Especially as we have had to move away from all my family (I would say friends, but i didn’t really have them) I can’t even phone them to see if they are ok. Christmas is meant to be a time for family, and well it’s been horrible.

Now the reason I wanted to post here now is, I am not comfortable with this (the group being open to everyone and anyone) I know I haven’t put any personal details on here. But I have read others have. Now because of the nature of the group I don’t think it is safe at the entire group being open to anyone and everyone.

I myself am in hiding (so to speak) if my ex were to come across this site or someone else who knows of me and my darling daughter. He could find information out. Simply by joining (maybe not now but at a later date) and pretend he is someone else... I’m not happy about this at all.

Whilst I appreciate that this is only temporary for a few days, is there not any other way of doing it. Why is it that it has to be open to anyone.

If it is because someone out of POW is building/helping with the new group? Could they not have joined temporarily or something?

Sorry for posting negatively, But to me (and I am sure I am not the only one) this is not safe. I am considering leaving the group cause of this. To be totally truthful I am scared because the group is open now. Ok maybe me being silly. But after going through what I have I hope others will understand where I am coming from here

Sorry about the negativity

I have also just noticed that there has been no advanced warning of this happening. Nor is there anything letting members know about this. So if they had not looked in on the group they wouldn’t know anything about it. At the very least I feel there should have been an announcement/email sent out, say a day or so before hand. Had I not come in the group I wouldn’t have even known about it.
At least if members were pre-warned about this, maybe they could have removed any personal details that may have been posted.
Ok maybe this is me taking it to far, and I apologise in advance, But I’m use to being extra careful at the moment. Looking at all the avenues, to see if all are safe and if not trying to make them safe. Things like this make it increasingly hard to do so. And is this group not meant to be a safe haven for members. It does not feel it at the moment.
