There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children- Nelson Mandela
In light of the illegal and increasingly vicious trolling that Lighthouse International Group, now known as Lighthouse Global, has received from a handful of aggrieved ex-partners and other trolls, along with a recent false libellous article in the Daily Mail, one of the anonymous trolls stated that maybe they should contact the local social services because they believe we are not qualified to work with vulnerable children.
Paul S. Waugh addressed this suggestion and we will be providing details of national child social services numbers on our website, so if they wish to report us and anyone else, they can.
Here is exactly what the anonymous troll “Impossible-488” said to the rest of the trolls on Reddit:
“On the vulnerable children thing, maybe we should report them to the relevant local Children’s Services? Because in what way are Lighthouse goons in any way qualified to work with vulnerable children?
You could argue, and I would, that turning children, not even those defined as vulnerable, away from families / friends is child mental abuse. They’re not qualified, monitored and regulated Social Workers.”
We are not here to play games with these trolls, especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of children, so we invite the anonymous troll to call social services if they believe they need to report us. If they are truly concerned, they need to get their facts and evidence in order and take action. We have even provided them with details to assist because we have absolutely nothing to hide. In fact, all our children here know they are protected and safe because we are holding people accountable to their destructive and murderous behaviour.
Kris Deichler, a Lighthouse Global Associate, published an article on why the trolls' behaviour warrants them being called trolls; it highlights that they have absolutely no concern for anyone except themselves, much to say the welfare of children.
So, whilst they continue in their hateful attacks, we will carry on with our crucial, vital and critical service in helping children and adults alike.
Phone numbers for urgent reporting of child abuse and of national child social services
The following is a list of phone numbers for urgent reporting of suspected child abuse and national social services which will also be published on our website. We are currently building a list of these numbers as there isn’t a directory in place for these very important points of contact:
Urgent reporting of child abuse

Thank you Stas, this is deadly serious. If there’s any suspicion of child abuse, it needs to be addressed. In fact there is such little awareness of child abuse, many reports are not made - even in hindsight. People can also contact NAPAC if they believe they / someone else was abused in childhood in the past. https://napac.org.uk
Indeed, that’s what I and we have found in our work, that most children are abused either emotionally, mentally, physically and sexually. There needs to be much more action taken here in general so I thank the trolls for raising this very serious question.
Those accusations from the trolls are just ridiculous. It shows how little they understand and how disconnected they are from the reality of what is going on in the world in regards to the suffering of our children. I learned a massive amount about becoming a better father through my involvement with Lighthouse and the standard is incredibly high. If we make mistakes, we make it right. What is needed are people who care for our children, who genuinely want to make a difference to them and take responsibility. Blaming and pointing fingers doesn’t help anyone and this kind of trolling behaviour is exactly what our children need to be protected from!
Thanks a lot, Stas for this informative article…
Thank you for the time you took to write this article Stas. It's ironic that those who are saying "call social services" are the ones that ought to be under thorough investigation. The children at Lighthouse here are some of the most bright and loving children I have ever met and have benefitted from their parents, my partners, and our collecctive help massively. No matter what I say and express the trolls will never believe me, or atleast want to because their agenda is to destroy our lives of others, including the children. It's psychopathic.
I spent 7 years of my life going into hundreds of schools and colleges across London; Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, Special Educational Need schools, Pupil Referral Units and Sixth Form Colleges. These have been academic institutions with young people from the most deprived and most affluent backgrounds. I saw first hand the brunt of the impact of children not getting the upbringing they need. Fights starting in front of my eyes, racist remarks, teachers insulted, primary school children biting each other in school corridors and being called 'Miss' because the children had never seen a male adult role model in a formal setting. With and through volunteers from business I worked with thousands of young people.
One teacher said this…
It is fascinating that these trolls are concerned for the safety of children, yet they were the ones that put pictures of the children in Lighthouse up on a platform without the parent's consent, therefore putting that child in danger. Thank you for posting up all the contact details, child abuse is a big issue and we at Lighthouse take it very seriously, for there are those who have been targeted by tolls online and have suffered. There are 7 parents in Lighthouse and there are 13 children under the age of 18 and their safety and well-being is taken seriously. They say On the vulnerable children thing, what does that mean? Thing! children are not things, they are human…
