The Bill: Report Child Abuse & Online Grooming

[thefranksterboy]

Apart from Daniel Flynn and Bruce Byron doing this commercial, were there any other actors from the bill doing this commercial?

[4evaJaredLeto]

What if the abuser used to be a soial worker so knows they have to be careful not to leave a mark, so beats the child round the head and emotionally abuses them? and what if that child then self harms and attempts suicide to get out?

[thossey]

Did this appear after an episode of The Bill involving online abuse?

[MikeMirs]

This guys a legend, He played "Benten" in "Cyber City Oedo" and "ginger" in biggles!

[LebPuppy]

I'm glad that things like these are available to our children... But I'm not a huge fan of the fact that he specified that the children didn't have to tell their parents if they don't want to - without encouraging to talk to their parents about it regardless. I'd like to encourage my children to be honest with me about things like this, wouldn't you?

[kooodeal]

What does a little girl do if the bad guy is her dad and he's best friends with the local police?

[chatterboxondaloose]

and what happens if kids are to scared to report it?

[godbegone]

Right... and where can i report people who pretend to be policemen?

[NAEAN]

LOL....

[fuxmesidewaylol]

Lmao

[biggoblyds]

stairgate what should it be to you if other people have jobs or not, i have a job im 17 i worked at local riding stables at the age of 11 i now work with kids. an am earning money not much but enough to get buy on.

[Heavenclan]

Daniel you would make an awesome cop not only on the bill but a real one

[stairgate]

Get a job, get a life. Get offline and meet real people. Join the Army, join the Police, get some credibility before you pipe up. Do something constructive with your life. Stop wingeing and take responsibility instead of taking what you can. Ps I'm not your mate. I'm bored with you so don't spend the next 2 months with a dictionary working on another silly reply. If you insist on further comments though, check spelling and grammar first otherwise you just look thick. Off you go now, job centre.

[jami376]

Stairgate: Your assumption that people who comment on youtube are all prospective TV critics is verisimilitudinous at best; as is your determination to labour under the misapprehension that I am unemployed. I am in fact gainfully employed at present as a charity volunteer. My most beneficent and altruistic act to date, however, has to be throwing a big, old dirty fuck into your Maw.

Grammar? How about a comma to separate the terms on your poor, little, uneducated list.

Cunt.

[stairgate]

Little sweaty sock from Glasgow.........you pale thin weed. There isn't a fuck in you. As predicted, it's taken so long for you to research your reply that I had to get bored of you all over again. Go away now, you'll need to check you grammar statements as once again your education has let you down. Shame; on crack are we? Give it up dickhead and get a life ( a real one ) as opposed to one on wii fit!!! hahaha! what a nob. Next!

[holdmineplease]

I think someone just came typing that up ;)

[stairgate]

Jami376, you poor little uneducated chav. If you had 1/2 a brain (sorry about the confusing fractions, from maths? never mind) you'd know that Britain starts with a capital B (like your name should). School boy errors. You also repeat many words which shows poor vocabulary, preparation and sentence structure. I guess you also were "too cool for SKOOL" and smoked early, right? Sad and very pathetic but a real problem for the tax payers amongst us to keep feeding you and your kind.

[swimsuitissue123]

@stairgate HAHAHAHAHAHA mate, even if someone was a 'chav' (nice Daily Mail terms there), even if someone couldn't spell a single word, even if they were dumb, blind and deaf and were never in the same country as you - THEY COULD STILL TELL YOU A GIANT WALLOPER OF A HUMAN BEING. Has nothing to do with grammar or spelling. So you hate on people who haven't had the educational opportunities you've had or because they spell you as U. So fucking what, you are pathetic and probably smell of shite.

[stairgate]

Ignorant Chav......

[rydersuck123]

ur 1 u use full stops

[06leen1995]

i love the bill

[alicethebigsis]

so do i!!!

[SetPhasersToStunxo]

Isn't he the guy who tried to commit suicide onstage whilst acting The Bill?

Scary stuff. I love The Bill, anyway. And this dood's addressing a good cause so it doesn't matter that he's not a real police officer. More people would look at this and listen to it than if it was a random, (real) police officer.

[NeonC0wboy]

No that was the guy who played Reg. apparently his contract wasn't renewed, and when he heard this he slit his wrists.

[Xurch]

This reminds of south park, how they all exploit this stuff to get rid of their parents :P

[ehrightdingys]

pig

[goppin76]

you twat

[06summerfieldl]

maybe, they did it because people are more familiar with the actors of the TV then a bloody big copper telling them, sometimes young teens get scared or nervous when dealing with or talking to the police so i think its a good idea

[goppin76]

it is a very good idea indeed. My reply was directed at ehrightdingys "pig" comment not about the video. I just hope it gives somebody the strength to reach for help. Sorry you thought it was directed at the video itself.

[06summerfieldl]

no not at all, i wasnt really having a go at you, i saw your comment but really it was aimed at anybody and i was just mainly putting my view forward on the situation and yes the person who did write "pig" needs to grow up. I am sorry if you thought I was aiming at you.

PS a police man that I know, his mother said to me that PIG stands for something, so really you could be in the right by calling a copper that PRIDE INTEGRITY & GUTS, anyone agree?

[idrees0304]

Never min all that, he is addressing a serious issue, and i think we should respect that. Child offenders should be shot. they deserve no mercy. it is not a mental issue and there is no treatment for it. It is against nature, and humans are not born to think ion that disgusting way. Well done ITV for bringing light to this issue, I hope other channels and organizations work together on this one.

[gekiryudojo]

Yes but wouldn't it be better to have the REAL police doing this than a bunch of celebrity Whores! That is all I'm pointing out I mean we do pay for the police!!!

[gekiryudojo]

Yes but wouldn't it be better to have the REAL police doing this than a bunch of celebrity Whores! That is all I'm pointing out I mean we do pay for the police!!!

[representinthanorf]

Possibly gekiryudojo if your dealing with adults, but to get the message to kids i think they're taking the right road. cause remember these youths (well some of anyway) watch the show twice each week so they are far more farmiliar than (no offence intended) just an ordinary copper.

[misterfisherman]

bring hemingway back from the dead-to write scripts -to the bill.hmmm yes.tired of all those former advert writers turned bill script writers running things

[seby125t]

what alot of crap the bill used to be good but the story lines just follow what been in the news headlines ??

[misterfisherman]

the bill should do an storyline on cracking down on itv phone quiz cons.arrest them police!

[angelicMisha]

oh that made me laugh out loud! XD

[misterfisherman]

darren day would be a most suitable choice of fictional quiz presenter

[misterfisherman]

and its about posh actors.full of posh actors

[gekiryudojo]

come to Police YouTube now? Actor! police actors thinking they are real now what next Politicians thinking they can win elections using Youtube?

[kotarotakashiro]

i think thats been done

[gekiryudojo]

I was being Ironic

[DenimDolphin]

they can. That's the problem.

[playfulpaul1985]

well done to the bill for doing this loads of kids who need help out there

[yaser007]

P.I.G PUSSY INTERNET GANGSTER

[NoOneThoughtOfThis1]

Why is it almost every episode of The Bill is about paedophiles or rape? And that it's always a White man that's a paedophile or rapist. My best guess is The Bill is too politically correct to dare cover other stories or because it's shown on ITV1 it makes the large female (I say that in all aspects) audience feel good and cosy in a twisted sort of way about all the big bad White men out there that are going to rape them or their children. After all when do these women ever get out the house?

[genkibald]

I suggest you grasp the concept that the bill is not real and furthermore that anything coming out of a television is distorted on a large scale. If you think your "guess" maybe well founded why don't you try and write a well thought out letter detailing your feelings to Ofcom or just shut up?

[NoOneThoughtOfThis1]

Maybe you should try and "grasp" the concept that television, whether fictional or non-fictional is extremely influencial on how societies perceive certain subjects. Judging by your profile I'm guessing you're some uneducated chav who doesn't know what they're on about so maybe it's you who aught to be shutting up considering you don't even understand anything about the media. It's not surprising you don't understand. Go watch some more of The Bill and enjoy how much it's slandering your kind.

[genkibald]

lol

[PieceKat]

NoOneThoughtOfThis1, you sound very bitter and twisted about something. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to watch as for your 'large female' comment how are you any less guilty of the sterotyping you accuse producers of the Bill of?

I suggest you take a bex and have a nice lie down in a quiet room.

[mrdanster]

I agree with genkibald. If you're looking to TV for the truth about anything you are very misguided.

[PieceKat]

That really depends on what kind of TV you watch doesn't it. There is quite a lot of rubbish, but some really good stuff too.

Anyway I see the Bill as more of a soapie (ie. the Gabriel Kent thing) than anything else but it is still fun, and occasionally has some really serious stuff.

And if the actors involved can highlight serious issues such as this and get through to some, how can it be a bad thing?

[misterfisherman]

i wish they'd bring the old cast back from the dead like dallas did with bobby ewing.hmmm yes.scrap the new posh cast

[KingDannyM07]

Listen to the Superindendent

[VaGiNaMcGiNaStiEN]

i agree wiv rooneyzwifey this is a joke plus he is ginger but it is quite funny hahaha

99andyroo99 he is no celebrity giv your hed a wobble

[chatterboxondaloose]

whats wong with gingers?

[saracenguy]

pipe down nerd

[rooneyzwifey]

hes no1s role model

[sarahbro63]

Brilliant episode and great to see responsible follow up from the cast. Keep up the good work

[99andyroo99]

Thats a great way of advising children on how to report abuse, it works so well, and as for you rooneyzwifey or whatever your name is you clearly don't know the effect of using celebrity to stamp out abuse IT WORKS! The Bill is great :).

[rooneyzwifey]

how can u take dt serious wen hes an actor

[chrismallyon]

you can take it more serious than your spelling...you gotta remember, kids look up to famous face's, thats a fact.

[stairgate]

Jami376. Read your previous re;spelling and you should be sure you are faultless before correcting others; "i cant top watchin". As for the accent; having re read your comments I find you actually remind me of Rik Mayall the peoples poet in the young ones. Only a tv character but still a prize prat. As for your joke...dont give up the day job (dole queue?) PS. Trust me when I say that I could no more be described as a Chav as you a credible tv critic.

[jami376]

Colz12y (2 months ago) "urm actually im addicted 2 the bill, i cant top watchin it n im 11 yrs old,.... "

There you are mate, that's what I copied. I copied him word for word. So don't think I can't spell. I'm still pretty faultless I would say.

Didn't know queues recruited.

your day job? (internet warrior?)

Also one more thing, how do you and so many others pick out accents from comments? You have an uncanny talent, you should go on britains got talent mate.

[airscrew1]

I notice the symbol used is an all seeing eye on top of a pyramid. Very spooky. Could be the very people you don't want to report to.

[Alaurahpinder1990]

I think this is a really good idea as it is away of speaking to young people and children without them being judged. It is also good as they can see a familiar face and they wont get the feeling that what ever they say will heard by other people. xxx

[WellShine2Geva]

Hahaaa Samee :D

[joniqitu]

are day real police

[watisittho]

the bil is clas..

best episode was the 1 with lewis and the gangs...good video for children (yn)

[fuzzyberk15]

aww i love the bill :) thts reli good and helpful for ppl. ps: i like smithy best ;)

[jami376]

no but seriosuly come on?

These people saying:

"urm actually im addicted 2 the bill, i cant top watchin it n im 11 yrs old"

I guess I now appreciate the message of this video because of you.

But I wasn't taking that much of a dig at this issue, the issue is a serious one and I totally understand getting a message across is harmless. But I'm giving abuse to the bill. I mean come on, it's gone down hill!

DOWN BILL?!

.... dun dun tish!

[stairgate]

jami376, you are really a kretin. I expect you speak with that ridiculous pseudo jamaican accent dont you. I firmly believe you and your chav kind are a cancer to normal life.

[jami376]

I find you hilarious with your assumptions, do you get a lot of exercise jumping to conclusions?

Spell cretin properly. You " chav ".

A jamaican accent?

LOLLOLOL U R RANDOM.

[XLoveTheBillX]

This story line was the best one i have seen, and i probably has helped loads of kids, Love The Bill and keep up the excellent work. Abz x

[cheeckybutnice]

this was prob one of the best written out stories ive watched on the bill!

im 23 & this storyline was very important

I have alot of younger family who go online When my pc is not workin i use a net cafe & even if parents block the use of websites & msn on thier home computers i see loadsa kids in the netcafe tht spend alot of time online so even if parents are aware of what kids get up 2 on thier home computers

its when thier on friends or other peoples computers which is a worry

[representinthanorf]

disagree, if everyone had that attitude no one would have madde this video which in my opinion will certainly get the message across. young people Do watch the bill i know this cause i watched when I was young and members of my family do.

[Colz12y]

urm actually im addicted 2 the bill, i cant top watchin it n im 11 yrs old, nerli all ma m8s at skl watch the bill n actualt is gettin the message across not jus 2 me but 2 others

[bluetictac]

Dude, I'm 12 and me and my girlfriend watch the bill!

[pickyantivirus]

first use a good firewall so they cant threten u with breaking ure pc unless u do what u like. second block them if needed third report them on THINK U KNOW

[ironmaidenfan189]

good idea to put this video on you tube it has definately made me more aware of what iinformation i give to people on the internet.

[silver760]

well done,a far better idea than ruining the intire net for EVERYONE due to the sick actions of a few

[rysa1888]

well done brilliant idea , stop these beasts now , dont suffer in silance , tell someone you can trust and put a stop to child abuse NOW..

[BenMatthews7825]

I think the idea of this video is good. It brings a clear message across to the children who go on internet chatsites. I think chatsites should have this video on them, then maybe kids will think twice about who they talk to.

[BebiiGyal]

Can you upload The Bill: Report Child Abuse & Online Grooming with andrew lancel or ali bastian

[jkid00700]

hehe

[jfs0996]

Excellent!!!
