"A controversial LGBT youth charity trained volunteers to advise self-harming children to use “clean razor blades” instead of discouraging them from cutting themselves, a whistleblower has claimed.
'LGBT Youth Scotland was reported to the Scottish charity regulator by someone who wanted to become a volunteer but was then given “shocking and callous” instructions around how to deal with young people who were intentionally injuring themselves.
"It is alleged that managers said if a child was hurting themselves as a “coping mechanism”, then it would be wrong to “take that away from them” and instead they were told “we have to ask them if they are using clean razor blades”.
"Whistleblower claims
The volunteer said that when they challenged the policy in October 2023 they were “dismissed” by managers who “didn’t see the issue” and defended self-harm as children “might not have any other ways of coping”."
If this is not the strongest sign that there is something deeply broken in a group reduced to this level of derangement...
