Jay Slaters mum asking for more donations

And it's relevant to the initial post, how? You think it's acceptable and necessary to denigrate this boy and add to the agony of this family at a time like this? What is wrong with people?? 😡

So you’re literally sending money to a terrorist enclave and think this makes you superior. Nice!

I would think how well off she is will be the last thing on her mind.. Please have some compassion 🙏🏻

The attack he carried out isn’t gossip. It’s fact. Therefore saying he did it is also a fact, it’s not slagging him off.

A lot of posters on here have said very derogatory things about this young man who has lost his life
Please can the posters who knew him in real life.reveal themselves as it would be sad to find out they were slagging him off when they had never met him just read the national press.

Did you know him in real life?

Sit down love?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're pathetic
I'll sit down if you stop writing rubbish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll stay standing.

He was a thug, a liar, a druggie and a thief. Frankly he didn’t deserve anyone’s money.

I wonder if Jay or his DM would have donated to any of ours? Not that I'd ask and God knows why she wants a lavish send-off, especially when he, nor her have the funds.

He was out there selling drugs. Why is he suddenly being held up as some sort of saint. I don't think he deserved to die of course and a mother and father have lost a son but come on. He was a drug dealer and usually they don't get all the love he has.

Don't believe everything you read.

Because it is not nice.
Do you understand that?

Why not? If a dickhead dies, they don’t become an angel instantly. They just become a dead dickhead.

Just seen this 😂 He suffered an ignominious death at just 19 due to stupidity. From all I can gather, the kid was a wrong'un. But being a teenage twit is what killed him.

You've started something here. Don't believe everything you read. Poor people have lost their son and you've started a thread to be nasty? What's going on in your head?

My child died recently and I agree with you completely. I could barely string a sentence together those first few weeks; nevermind put out a long statement requesting money. I would have sold everything I own if needed to be able to pay for my child's funeral because it was my responsibility to do so and one of the last things I could do for him.
I'm sorry for your loss.x

A similar thing happened locally to me.

A lad of 19 died on his scooter, he was using it for drug runs and was an absolute arsehole. He was violent and threatening.

But when he wrapped it, and himself, around a tree, he was a caring loving son, a great friend etc. The shop I worked in was stripped of flowers to lay at the site because word had got around that there would be cameras. Some of the girls especially looked like they were ready to go clubbing.

Its all about wanting to be seen on SM or on TV.

When my DD's best friend was murdered in Jerusalem 8 years ago this happened too. Interviews on Sky with her "besties" because DD and their other mutual best friend couldnt face talking about it, so Sky would just interview anyone who said that they knew her. The victims father said that he was disgusted about how so many of her so called "friends" had actually been vile to her in school and turned up to her funeral dressed like it was a party as they thought cameras would be there.

don't speak I'll of the dead

Why?

I have sympathy for them and think nobody should judge. All the conspiracy theories and then it turned out to be what they thought all along. Has this taught nobody anything and not to judge ?
His mum will likely feel pressured to give a breakdown of what has been spent so far so keep opinions to yourselves for now.
Does anyone know about the kevin bell repatriation trust ?
I was wondering if they would get involved-or if gfm been set up then they don't automatically get involved, nor sure how it works but they help lots of families in the slaters position.

While we're here, I really disliked Debbie's denigrations of the Tenerife Police and the Guardia Civil. When the GC withdrew - after intensive searches that must've cost the Spanish people millions - she expressed disappointment in them and we were left believing all search efforts had stopped.

Meanwhile the Tenerife police were still out there, day after day, and that is who found Jay. Not Mark "I'm a great detective, me", not the "Talks on mountainsides" YouTuber and not the Dutch team, who were left searching for any personal effects the police may have missed. She's pretty well ignored what must have been an extraordinary effort.

She is going through hell; everything must feel very unreal to her. I am surprised that none of her supportive army had the grace to recognise what was being done to find her kid.

I don’t really understand the “lavish send off” part.
I had a friend who died just (in our minds) as tragically when we were 17, from cancer.
They had to hold his funeral in an outdoor auditorium because the entire town turned out for it.
We were allowed out of school for it.
The funeral was “lavish” not because of the excess, but because of the sheer amount of mourners.
The casket was just a regular casket.
The minister was his Sunday school teacher.
There were quite a few flowers, but there were quite a few people.
It was remarkable by the sheer amount of mourners who came to pay their respects.
I always thought that was a lavish send off.

She’s an absolute joke and a thief like him. A charity is covering the repatriation of him. The search guys weren’t paid and it was done by the police out there. So the fact she has 60k and is asking for more sickens me. She’s got more than enough for a funeral .

True, not only did I move house after my son died, I moved countries, I couldn't bear to be there anymore.

I do feel sorry for the family but I also have extreme sympathy for the victim of the attack that Jay was involved in. A gang of 8 armed with machetes etc beating someone to almost end their life. The whole thing is so sad, that teenagers choose this path and what leads them into the world of drugs, gangs, knives and violence. Often these kids will have very difficult and complicated home lives with little support. There will be so many contributing factors and it is so depressing that it’s happening more and more in the UK.

I am sure the family have enough money now for the funeral and repatriation. I am surprised that so many people have donated given the history of Jay.
