The people are great. Social Media is not the place for pro or con. It's a monumental balls-up, and most of the parents are already in a network (or at work). Silly SMH. my kids at an ABC center.

It's great to see ABC airing out its laundry. Great article, good coverage.

I am part of the team at DP Dialogue who worked with ABC to develop the site. We believe this article was way out of line. Not only were ABC given no right of reply, the insinuation that ABC told forum members to write positive reviews is incorrect. We did approach some parents who we have had previous contact with to start the conversation about their childcare experiences (the good and the bad). However, in no way did we tell them what to say or how to say it. We are keeping this forum open and honest (as you can no doubt already tell with a diverse range of opinions). All this could have been clarified with a call to ABC's PR representative for a more balanced and informed article. Good work on questioning it. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Nathan Hi Matt
