Kids Company has become "a football for the media and the civil servants", the charity's founder has said.
Camila Batmanghelidjh told the BBC the charity had run out of money because the government had not taken responsibility for child protection.

I know judging people by their looks and manner, especially on the television, is probably not the best thing to do, but from what I’ve seen of Batmanghelidjh from time to time rings alarm bells. It’s one of those nebulous “nope, don’t trust her” feelings that has no real grounding.

Also, shouldn’t the job her charity does be done by social service?

The whole thing stinks and has done for some time - I wondered why Cameron bothered to get involved

This is why you got the stories a few weeks ago, the establishment is basically getting it's ducks in a row before it's own mistakes become the headlines.

She may claim stories that the charity was mismanaged are meant to discredit her but if they actually did get a £3m cheque from UKGov then went bust a few weeks later, you have to say the accusations may be well-founded.

I still suspect there's actually a much bigger story here.

Psychologist admits MDMA use while with Kids Company clients | UK news | The Guardian

I read of so many psychologists doing street drugs that it starts to suggest a relative problem. Is that why they got into psychology in the first place?
