Sorry to keep asking for help, but does any one remember any other 'Sarah-isms'? i'm looking for specific words or phrases she's come up with or mis-spoke, etc. So far i've got the 'here for the agriculture' and the 'ad-vocados' and a few others, but to save time, if anyone can remember specific instances, then it'll be quicker for me to find them. Thanks.

I definitely agree that that’s the plan on their side, probably thinking enough time has passed but I cannot imagine being able to pull it off. Brands aren’t going to want anything to do with them and you tubers won’t want to associate their brand with inghams. They can roll out as slow as they want and try to get back into their circles but I don’t think they’ll ever get to where they were. I think enough people know that the next package of zoella products would be met with a huge backlash on Zoe if she sent them so won’t bother.
Though unfortunately I still think they’ll be able to get by on their Adsense earnings. But they’ll never get their status back

The thing with Adsense, it's very unreliable. You're also relying on Youtube and they are notoriously unreliable. Yes, at the moment, Youtube are not messing with their channel, but they might in the future. They need a back-up, something to fall back on. They've got their merch, but will they sell enough, who knows? Between them, they don't have any discernible talent to fall back on
 
Hi Everyone I mentioned last week about my sons school having internet safety leaflets on their website, well I managed to see the deputy head today, she has two daughters who are fans of the Inghams but she didnt know about the allegations and was totally shocked, she said they come across as a wholesome and innocent family and she will be talking to her two daughters and stopping them from watching, she also said she is briefing the teachers tomorrow at their next staff meeting and taking steps to organise a parents forum to address this, she said she will have an assembly this week but wont mention the family name as she said a lot of children will log on just to see this family on You tube, she will mention the dangers of the internet and mention that what they see on the screen is not always true, she was saddened by it but was so pleased I brought it up as a concerned parent, so the school is taking it very seriously... she agreed it was construed as grooming even if the girls where over 16 its very wrong, incidentally my older son goes to an all boys school and they tend to look at things like fortnite but even he said that they have had assemblies about so called family friendly channels such as these as thats what the school class the family vloggers as apparently , its scary that kids believe everything their idols tell them and that adults dont believe the victims

I should have written them down, there was loads and they have gone out of my head for now, will keep thinking. Bits and bats! Grr and thinking an apple was a nectarine is all that’s there just now.
 
I believe The biggest culprits in all of this is YouTube, because ultimately they are the ones who have provided the platform to allow these miscreats to carry out this behavior and to continuously exploit their young children no matter what the cost.
Perhaps if YouTube had stepped up from the very beginning and banned them from vlogging I believe some people might have taken this more seriously

So glad the school listened!

Yes it's worrying that's the whole problem we think as parents oh they are only shopping etc but it's all an act to be honest.
Which is why I think there is more to come out about Chris that parents might not realise. People have laughed at the celebrity status of these YouTubers but honestly to young children they are absolutely that. If Chris has direct messaged a fan, and groomed them as he's very good at talking to those he grooms within his vlogs too, they will feel like he's doing no wrong. He's just chosen them because they are 'special'. I mean for example imagine being a teenage girl and you have your obsession with the Inghams... Which is no different to a celeb obsession. It gives you a boost with direct messages from one of them. Albeit Chris..then his grooming...but you will feel so special as you will feel totally 1 in a million due to their million subscribers!

Didn't she once described their new range as being inept? Vaguely remember a tweet from her about the new inept colours

I know, she was genuinely shocked,she asked me to repeat again and when I showed her screen shots she said oh My goodness why are they still on You Tube, she said she monitors what her girls watch but feels she needs to delve deeper in future, she said if hes so innocent then why on his personal account and why not address the issues first hand, she actually said she has sat a few times and enjoyed their vlogs but not any more ,my youngest son actually thinks that Chrisis creepy and always has and he also said why does he skate like a boy would when hes a dad!!! out of the mouths of babes hes only 10

I hope that’s the case but I think the danger is that as everyone presumes because of his behaviour and failure to address it they will face reprisals in this way as time goes on by very slowly slipping back into normality they will eventually be back in the same position. I see far more ads now and if someone had said in August oh they’ll have a new merch line in a couple of months it would seem like a laughable suggestion! Because of his silence and legal and no doubt business advice he can and will return fully. Look at celebrities, politicians even royalty who’ve had major scandals closely covered in the media, during the time you’d think that’s their public life over but over the space of a year or so many slip very quietly and slowly back into office or a similar position, remaining quiet until enough time had passed for people to think ‘didn’t he get into trouble once...’ but it’s a passing thought. They don’t care about integrity or what’s right who who’s still being traumatised or even who’s next! It’s a business and is being managed strategically to continue to grow and maximise income. I wish that YouTube did the right thing and investigate it but because they didn’t or take any action, they’re riding the storm and moving forward with nothing and nobody stopping them.
