PAMELA Barnes is wrong on two counts in her diatribe against Mr Guy Harkin, author, "Water is Monitored for Chemicals".
In her answer she claims, "It is totally wrong for him to quote us".
Indeed, he did no such thing, he merely stated that Action for Sick Children supports water fluoridation.
He did not directly quote the organisation. And he is not incorrect either, as, on the organisation's website, they endorse another organisation called "Kids Health", and they do support fluoridation.
So all she claims is, they never contacted her organisation, but if on your own website you are going to publish your endorsement, whether directly or indirectly through other links, you should have no complaints.
If they wish to be a leading cause in the field of children's health, then they should take a stance and stick by it, rather than sit on the fence and whinge about others who are prepared to stand up on one side or the other.
