Our documentation process has now reached the two year mark. It has been time consuming and, at times, painstaking. From the outset, the intention was simple: allow the evidence to speak for itself. With scrutiny from press, police and the wider public continuing to grow, the next phase in the ongoing Jayne’s Baby Bank matter took shape through the creation of the “Jayne’s Baby Bank Exposed” Facebook group.
Created on 31 January, the group was designed to circulate material that may not have been seen on our website, while consolidating key findings in a structured and accessible format. All information shared was drawn from public sources. Clear rules were established from the beginning. Access was open. Those who felt affected by previous events linked to the baby bank were given a platform to speak openly, without intimidation, and without needing to remain silent.
1 Million Views
Within three weeks of launch, the group surpassed one million views. The content highlighted both established and emerging concerns, alongside exclusive material that had not yet been published elsewhere. Certain disclosures were deliberately timed.
Among the most significant releases were two videos showing Carrie-Anne Ridsdale recording herself fly tipping, accompanied by her own unfiltered commentary. The footage was not presented as edited narrative but as primary source material. It offers direct insight into conduct and tone, allowing viewers to form their own conclusions regarding the individual operating under the name “Jayne’s Baby Bank”.
Audio Commentary and Analytical Review
Using AI assisted analysis, we processed large volumes of material including FOI responses, transcripts, public records and archived images. The objective was not embellishment but clarification: separating verifiable fact from personal narrative, distinguishing historical claims from present reality, and presenting findings in a format that is structured and digestible.
This approach enabled complex datasets to be understood more easily by the public, without removing the underlying source documentation.
The Counter Narrative
Subsequently, Carrie-Anne Ridsdale, also known as Jayne Price, created a separate Facebook group titled “Jayne’s Baby Bank STALKERS & HATERS Exposed”. The group appears to focus on discrediting critics, revisiting prior grievances and targeting individuals associated with the original Exposed group. Of particular concern are instances where references have extended to members’ families. Any involvement of children in online disputes raises serious safeguarding questions. In one such post she threatened to release videos of what she claimed as “child abuse”.
This statement is particularly troubling as it frames alleged child abuse as leverage in an online dispute. If such material genuinely existed, the appropriate course of action would be referral to safeguarding authorities, not its use as a threat. Publicly invoking allegations involving children in this manner raises serious ethical, safeguarding and legal concerns.
Publicly Shared Messages Referencing Vehicle Removal
Today, members of the public posted screenshots within the exposure group to draw attention to what they describe as prior historical concerns.
The images show a conversation between the Jayne’s Baby Bank account and a local scrap collector regarding a vehicle located on an industrial estate. In the exchange, the JBB account instructs the collector to “get it on the truck”, stating that the “owner has died”, and requests a photograph of the “empty space” once it has been removed.
The scrap collector responds by stating that they do not remove illegally parked vehicles and only collect authorised scrap. They advise that if the vehicle is not lawfully theirs to remove, another route would need to be taken. Within the visible messages, there is no indication that documentary proof of ownership or authority was provided.
In Closing
The Jayne’s Baby Bank Exposed group has catalysed coordinated information sharing. Members are connecting, cross referencing material and, where appropriate, documenting police log numbers and regulatory correspondence. The intention is accountability through transparency.
While formal governing bodies often move slowly, the public has demonstrated a capacity to organise, document and communicate concerns in real time. Whether such spaces remain available on platforms like Facebook is uncertain. What remains constant is the record.
Sherlock…
Earlier today, an incident unfolded at one of our stores involving a mother, who, after enduring abuse regarding her children, released footage that portrayed her in a negative light. This video inadvertently gave “Jayne’s Baby Bank” unwanted public attention, which some are now attempting to portray in a favorable manner. Let me make this crystal clear: we do not encourage or condone visiting her stores. From the very beginning, our stance has been consistent: do not engage with the stores. Do not provoke the situation, and, above all, do not undo the progress we’ve worked hard to achieve.
Anyone viewing the footage today will not have the full context of what led up to it. We have warned those involved in the exposure group that doing so will make them targets. Let’s be 100% clear: we do not support these actions. It’s unfortunate that people passively following the Facebook page of Jayne’s Baby Bank may now see Daniel on the phone with the police, completely unaware that the woman filming had her children live-streaming the verbal abuse she endured. While one party found themselves in a situation they didn’t intend to be part of, the other (Carrie) will likely twist any criticism to further justify her position.
We urge users to be mindful.
We urge users to be cautious.
We urge users to apply common sense.
You are dealing with a well-known manipulator and liar.
If you don’t fully grasp the complexities of this situation, DO NOT GET INVOLVED.

Great Work as always
