More context around the question - "What have we done to our children?" - growing awareness of the damage done to children from politically determined C19 measures in the UK

Doing a little more digging subsequent to this piece:

(100) What have we done to our children? - by Peter Halligan (substack.com)

There is this from 3 weeks prior on 1 August 2923:

How did parents’ experiences in the labour market shape children’s social and emotional development during the pandemic? | Institute for Fiscal Studies (ifs.org.uk)

“Around 50% of families saw changes in labour market status during the COVID-19 pandemic. This impacted the emotional development of their children.”

Keep in mind that no healthy children anywhere died from a C19 infection, a tiny minority of unheakthy children succumbed and that children did not transmit the infection to “kill granny”, what we have done is to create a mask and isolation environment from birth to 3 years old for the under 3’s and remove all social interaction (classrooms to playtime) for 3 years of every other age cohort of children. This has created a social and educational vacuum removing 4 years of development for the 4-7 year olds that are now 7-10, 3 year gaps for 7-10 year olds who are now 10-13 and the same for 11-14 year olds that are now 14-17.

Arrested development.

And, as tragic as this might be, some kids have been locked indoors with grumpy parents - some of whom were already abusive.

Here are a couple of points taken from the Executive Summary of the IFS study:

“The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many aspects of children’s lives, with impacts on their social and emotional development as well as their educational attainment.

School closures increased social and emotional difficulties (Blanden et al., 2021); lack of contact with friends and extended family left some children without a trusted adult to turn to (Newlove-Delgado et al., 2021); and severe illness and death of loved ones increased (Slomski, 2021; Liang, Becker and Rice, 2022). “

The IFS report was referenced by the Save the Children Fund charity on 14 August 2023 here:

14 million children in the UK silenced by the Covid-19 Inquiry (savethechildren.org.uk)

“LONDON, 14 August 2023 - More than 40 of the UK’s leading children’s charities and child development experts have issued a warning to the Covid-19 Inquiry chair of “unacceptable delays” to taking evidence from children on lockdown.”

The charities want action to get some of the UK’s 14 million children to testify on impacts of Government measures on their lives.

All very well and good, but the children now have “arrested development”. The charities do not challenge the scientific or medical basis for imposing the lockdowns or who overruled the previous and emerging research and analysis that proved school closures were unnecessary with no rational justification.

Who imposed the lockdowns on children in three of their most formative and vulnerable years? Years of innocence and discovery at age appropriate times that can never be recovered?

And this is not the full extent of harms inflicted on children.

Do not forget the harms from the C19 mRNA and vector injections that have been estimated to have killed at least one adult per thousand doses.

How many babies, tots, kids and teenagers have been killed or maimed for life with steadily worsening organ and blood conditions?

That number maimed is showing up in double digit increases in adult disabilities amongst the working age population already – where are the studies on the impacts on children by number and type of doses? I have seen nothing from the UK’s Yellow Card system – which was just estimated to report just one event for every 50 suffered.

Here’s a sample of the demands of the charities.

“Dan Paskins, director of UK Impact at Save the Children said: "Children are being silenced by this inquiry. “

“Louise King, Director of the Children’s Rights Alliance for England, part of Just for Kids Law, said: “Hearing from children is now a critical issue for the proper functioning of the Covid Inquiry and these delays have gone on long enough.”

“Phillip Anderson, Strategic Director of External Affairs at the National Children’s Bureau, said:

.. So, it is vital that the Covid-19 Inquiry listens hard to what a quarter of the population went through and reflects closely upon the experiences and ideas of children and young people themselves.”

Maybe I am being a little harsh on these well meaning and caring institutions, but it seems to me that EXPERT AND QUALIFIED ADULTS ALREADY EMPLOYED AS CHILD PSYCHOLOGISTS should already know what the 3 years or more of “Arrested development” should have on the different age cohorts of kids and those EXPERT AND QUALIFIED ADULTS should  be the ones submitting concise and accurate reports.

We should already know from Social Services and the Police of the changes to the incidence of reported child abuse AND e4stimated from the 40 charities referenced of unreported instances of child abuse.

This is what we have come to. Perhaps those exports have already compiled and submitted detailed reports of the damage done by lockdowns categorised by income, race and gender child demographics. In this era of government censorship to hide ignorance and hubris, how would we even know if these reports exist?

Here are some key findings of the IFS report:

Nearly half of parents reported that their child had more socio-emotional difficulties in February 2021 than a year earlier, = it is now almost September 2023 – 20 months on.

..children whose families experienced at least one change saw, on average, their socio-emotional development worsen by about 9% of a standard deviation more than those whose families remained consistently employed or unemployed throughout.

UK Covid Inquiry must address excessive policy responses that hurt young people – The Expose (expose-news.com)

“Last week more than 40 of the UK’s leading child rights charities and experts issued a scathing indictment against the UK Covid inquiry’s lukewarm acknowledgement of the impact of lockdown on 14 million young Britons.”

Referring to this article from “Collateral Global” dated 19 August 2023

The UK Covid inquiry must address the harms to children - Collateral Global

“Children were not vectors of disease, despite pervasive media propaganda that toddlers would kill grandma. They were at minuscule risk from severe outcomes. Schools were never places of high transmission, something known as early as April 2020. Yet the expert classes, media and politicians hyped the risk to kids, dressing it up in a garb of unquestionable moralism that fed on our deepest fears: hurting children.”

Arresting the development of children to shield grandma who was not at risk from children.

“In education, UNICEF called pandemic school closures an ‘intergenerational inequality shock’. They estimated a 13% increase in global learning poverty, which may cost students upwards of $21 trillion in lost earnings during their lifetime. In addition, a World Bank report estimated over half a billion children missed 1.5 years or more of school, and that millions dropped out early.”

“Pandemic spending lead to an estimated 44% of countries cutting public spending in 2023, exposing hundreds-of-millions of children to budget cuts in education, health and social protection. “

This is the cost of the policies imposed by the Cult of Moloch which will soon be made compulsory with changes to the International Health Regulations and a new Pandemic Treaty. These will FORCE countries to adopt the measures that cause “arrested development”, increased pressure for child abuse and death and maiming of kids with experimental injections.
