Local Tension Rises Over Unverified Allegations of Coordinated Social Media ‘Baiting’ Scheme in Lower Place and Balderstone
Balderstone & Lower Place, Rochdale, Greater Manchester – Residents in the Lower Place and Balderstone communities are reporting escalating tension and fear following unverified community allegations concerning a sophisticated harassment campaign involving local individuals and social media platforms.
The focus of the allegations centres on two women, identified as Cheryl White (formerly McCondichie) and Jeanette McCondichie, who are allegedly orchestrating a scheme that weaponises photography and children to provoke confrontations and subsequent online abuse.

According to widespread community reports circulating among residents, the alleged scheme involves using children as 'bait' to draw the attention of pedestrians. The primary aim is to accuse unsuspecting members of the public of taking unauthorised photos or videos.
The alleged tactic is designed to elicit a defensive reaction; if the targeted pedestrian responds by taking a photo of the accusers—presumably to document the encounter or identify the individuals—this photo is then allegedly used as 'proof' to launch a coordinated shaming campaign on Facebook and other social media platforms.
Use of Children as ‘Weapons’
The serious nature of these claims is amplified by the alleged involvement of minors. Several residents have expressed deep concern that children in the community are being used as involuntary participants in a dangerous strategy designed to create conflict.
"We are seeing children being placed in harm’s way, used deliberately to start an argument so that the adults can then immediately rush to social media", said one local resident, who requested anonymity due to fears of retribution. "It’s turning neighbor against neighbor, and the kids are paying the price".
It is further alleged that this activity extends beyond the two primary individuals, with other family members and friends reportedly participating in the provocation and subsequent online campaigns.
Allegations Target Bee Network Drivers
Perhaps the most alarming element of the community allegations involves public transportation staff. Residents claim that Bee Network bus drivers have been implicated in supporting or facilitating these campaigns, in some instances allegedly leading to physical confrontations.
There are unverified reports suggesting that individuals connected to the alleged scheme have worked in coordination with Bee Network staff, resulting in alleged assaults or targeted confrontations against members of the public who have been accused through the photo scheme.
The involvement of transportation staff in highly localised personal disputes raises serious questions about professional conduct and public safety within the transport service.
Official Investigation Sought
In response to the growing unrest, community voices are urging local authorities to launch a formal investigation into the claims of coordinated harassment, misuse of minors, and the alleged involvement of public service personnel.
