Several News organizations have recent published misleading articles that lead the reader to believe that B4U-ACT is a political organization seeking to "normalize pedophilia". Mermaids has also recently come under fire in the UK for recommending unsafe procedures be provided to transsexual youth. Mermaids says the organization is "completely at odds" with B4U-ACT values of seeking to advocate for safe and effective mental health services for minor attracted people, provided in a way that ensures dignity and respect of the person seeking treatment. They also object to the use of the term minor attracted person. The goals of B4U-ACT as stated on their website are: To publicly promote services and resources for self-identified individuals (adults and adolescents) who are sexually attracted to children and seek such assistance To educate mental health providers regarding the approaches helpful for such individuals To develop a pool of providers who agree to serve these individuals and abide by B4U-ACT’s Principles and Perspectives of Practice To educate the public regarding issues faced by these individuals The failure of the Mermaids organization to protect it's staff and its a blatant disregard to the ethics and values of the mental health profession and maybe indicative that their detractors are correct and that they are ignoring health and safety issues and not following the standards of practice.
