Chest binding is potential child abuse, the Metropolitan Police has said, as concerns are raised over the actions of a trans charity.
Scotland Yard has said that if police receive reports of a child using a breast binder, which is used to flatten the chest, officers will investigate it along with social services.
It comes after an investigation by The Telegraph found that Mermaids has been discreetly sending binders to children as young as 13 and 14 whose parents will not let them use one.
