But if you think there's a genuine threat that the parents will harm/murder the kid over it surely you need to be talking with social services to get them removed?

Yeah, at a school you would call the emergency social services number and a massive system rolls into action, I imagine that they have access to similar because childline does work with the authorities.

But 99% issues kids report aren’t the parents abusing them or at least not in a way that poses an immediate danger.

I think that's why it's bothering me, especially the puberty blockers. If you don't know then surely you're going to worry about your child not developing normally? I get that small things can add up and those small reports can build a real case but this isn't the sort of thing that childline should be handling.

Frankly this feels like it's more likely to put these children at risk if they get caught because now their parents have evidence that they're hiding something from them which could have devastating consequences.
