QUOTE (Sidney @ Aug 2 2011, 04:00 PM) As this particular thread is still here I am assuming you are right about "the small print." (Either that or admin are on holiday) You are also right about "knee-jerks" but as a parent I fail to see how this case (and others like it) can be defended ?
Whilst my post was considered offensive, many forum members seem to believe this "poor girl" needs help, and Gel and I are the villians !!?? I think the main concern should be for the children now surely ? Where do you draw the line at helping these poor unskilled parents ? Baby P's parents ? The McGanns ? Hard as it may seem there are people out there who just don't care !! Although I don't support your use of what is an offensive term to other Forum users I personally agree that the rights of the child are sometimes traded against those of the uncarring and downright criminal parents and I know all cases are different but any right thinking individual must consider the child first. After all he/she has no choice but to accept the abuse.

QUOTE (Sidney @ Aug 2 2011, 04:43 PM) So will we be debate whether she got off lightly ? Whether she should have the children back ? or is that all too taboo, and might cause offence to some delicate little souls? Or shall we just discuss allotments and WBC, which on the scale of things is trivial .... must keeps us amused ?? Should she have the children taken away - YES Are people like her **** - I think so, yes. I do not think others in the forum are **** because they 'defended' her - not everyone sees the bad in people, even with children involved. Personally, a childs life and future should not be left in the hands of a parent who verbally/physically/mentally abuse them - every child deserves to live in a home where they are loved. Oh and Sidney - bring something about the allotments into this and every one will be discussing it.

QUOTE (On the edge @ Aug 2 2011, 08:29 PM) In case you are wondering, my daily read is the Times. Rupert needs all the help he can get at the moment. One of 'gel's' initial rants was that the NWN hadn't covered the story. How odd.

QUOTE (Dodgys smarter brother. @ Aug 2 2011, 09:42 AM) That's shows you maybe weren't about when the last posts were written. You are right I wasn't around for that, I went to Whitby! Perhaps I was a bit quick to have jumped in there. Sorry.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Aug 4 2011, 01:10 PM) And they paid the ultimate price and a lesson that some find hard to learn judging by the original story. It really irks me when people say they are paying the ultimate price...No they are not, their daughter is - dead or alive. Agree, people do not learn from the Mcanns stupidity...'Some' parents couldn't care less.
