Sam Fox was 37 by the time the law was changed to raise child porn from 16 to 18. More outrageous is them running the guess who articles of the other potential bbc employees when they, having broken the story , are fully aware of who is in the frame. That'd not public intrest that's how much misery can we cause

Might also explain why the earlier complaints got nowhere, if they weren't couched in the right way to hit the BBC complaints buttons immediately.
I don’t know anything about the case or about the BBC’s complaints dept but if it’s like another outfit I was familiar with years ago, they probably have a lot of people working there, some of them possibly junior/inexperienced.
In a well run system there wouldn’t be room for the Oh he’s [Household Name] so it can’t possibly be true reaction. You’d think not, anyway, especially after Savile. On the contrary, you’d expect it to be passed to a senior manager for urgent action.
They probably have a system of initial classification. This one, coming from the parent of an adult, could be regarded as a third party complaint and shelved, in the absence of any complaint from the injured party him/herself.
And if the mother had written several letters, in a well run system she wouldn’t get the Oh it’s her again, persistent complainant, just file it reaction. But then again, this may explain why it didn't reach Tim Davie's ears until it was plastered all over The Scum.

Exasperated, not angry.
Saying it’s a young male gives the opportunity for a nudge, nudge, wink, wink as to whom it might be. Which is why gabisays it.

They might have not heard back from every paper they contacted.

Yep, that added 'guess the gay' frisson.

But this kid was 20 when they did that, and drug use aside was not breaking any laws. Now it may be a last ditch desperate effort by loving parents to save a child with a chaotic and chronic drug problem - in which case they must have been getting a lot of money from other sources as well. Or it may just be parents disapproving that their kid works on onlyfans and does a couple of grams at the weekend and decided to meddle in their life which they have no right to do. It at the very least implies that their child did not support their actions at the time.
This is all pretty low level stuff, a few nudes and some online interaction and I very much doubt the kid told the celeb they were spending all the money they sent on crack. I think it would be dubious if parents meddled this way if a 20 year old was having a full blown relationship with someone much older unless there were obvious signs of abuse. And I say that as a parent of an almost 20 year old myself who would be horrified if they got together with someone 20 or 30 years older. But a 20 year old is an adult with the right to make decisions including bad ones and part of being a good parent is accepting that and not meddling in their lives when they do something you don't like. Talk, raise concerns by all means, but don't try sabotage their life (by running off first to the BBC and then to The Sun) just because you don't approve of how they are living.
We can't possibly know what was actually going on until we hear the voice of the young person themselves who as an adult has the right to tell their own story, or choose not to, and they are the only one worth listening to in this scenario imo.

have seen a few things saying the young person is female.
not sure either has any basis for saying this other than 50% chance of being right...
McKs always been liable to libel
I assume you can view these cam sites anonymously? Seems monumentally stupid that a famous person would choose not to do so.

TBF they could well have and been told it is not a matter for the police; certainly on what has been reported so far it doesn't sound like there is anything the BBC person has done that would qualify as such.

On some sites the teenager has been described as female.

For a bulletin board who members often go out of their way to decry celebrity culture, it's amusing that threads like this rocket to multiple pages in a couple of days (see also Schofield etc), whilst others on the war in Ukraine and other politics remain relatively quite.
