Finally. We can say it.

I've just utterly broken down for Arthur.

I hope she never gets out. She’s evil.

What that poor child went through in his little life was horrendous Sad it makes me so so sad for him.
I'm so glad his abusers have been jailed. From what I hear, the prison population does not take kindly to child murderers.

A relative took a picture of severe bruising to Arthur's back on April 15 last year and phoned social services the next day… but somehow they did not see the full extent of his bruising and decided that there were no safeguarding concerns; Arthur had been on social services' radar for three years.. at least five of Arthur's relatives and a neighbour told social services that his life was in grave danger; Teacher said he had become more 'reserved and anxious' and 'fixated' with his father killing him;
What on earth does it actually take for a child to be removed from a dangerous environment? Angry

The jury asked if they could have a minutes silence to honour Arthur. The judge agreed.

Strangers giving him more love and respect than those who should have been loving him.

ThackeryBinks · 02/12/2021 16:39

Sadistic is the word I'd use for both of them. It's horrific what you can get away with if your house is immaculate.

Naughtynovembertree · 02/12/2021 16:39

Both should have sterilisation.
But at least small justice for poor Arthur.
Let's hope sentencing reflects the crime.

At last, the closing speeches by prosecution were excellent.

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 02/12/2021 16:40

I broke into bits watching the video of him with his duvet on the floor.

I hope the wee soul is at peace.

They should never be released for this. Never.

Franklin12 · 02/12/2021 16:41

God what a horrible case and yes, I dont think they will be locked away forever. The man will get out and someone will have a baby with him and he starts again.

They are absolute scum, I hope they rot in jail and get exactly what they deserved

I didn't realise Tustin had 4 children of her own. Where were they?
2 are older teenagers who don’t live with her and were removed as young children by social services.

2 younger ones were living with her at the time of Arthur’s murder. One of them can be heard on the recording released of him saying “no ones gonna feed me” asking if he wants a cuddle.

They are both now living with their dad.

AuntMasha · 02/12/2021 16:41

Tustin’s arrogance in court was beathtaking. At one point, when presented with expert witness evidence that Arthur could not possibly have caused his own injuries as she was alleging, she responded with “well experts can be wrong.”

The fact that these two were prepared to blame Arthur for his own death is as low as you can get.

weebarra · 02/12/2021 16:41

That poor wee boy. Completely abandoned by people who were supposed to love him. I genuinely have no words.

Nicknacky · 02/12/2021 16:41

According to the Daily Mail he is yet to be buried due to legal disputes. Even in death he can’t get peace.

And whoever said he was happy with his mum, that certainly isn’t true. He witnessed horrific domestic abuse with her, according to the DM.

Rhannion · 02/12/2021 16:42

Poor wee boy it’s sickening.
Throw away the key for both of them.

Miniestelle · 02/12/2021 16:42

Going by the live court updates, she didn't show a single bit of remorse on the witness stand. Hard faced and aggressive even now. I have never believed someone is truly evil. But she has proved me wrong. Oh that poor little boy.

Chakraleaf · 02/12/2021 16:42

Should be treated like the scum she is. Horrifying for all.

Poor Arthur.

MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 02/12/2021 16:43

What the hell has to be wrong with a person that they could do this to a little boy? I just don’t get it. What causes people like this?

Naughtynovembertree · 02/12/2021 16:45
  • bagel that's the only time tustin burst into tears when she heard her own son say that.
PicsInRed · 02/12/2021 16:45

Psychopathy in all likelihood.

This is so shocking and terrible to read, that so many people realised he was at risk but he was left there to die.

Yes I remember. She is vile.
Wherearemymarbles · 02/12/2021 16:47

I’m sure there will be an enquiry into SS….
After baby P (Peter Collolly) we were told this could never happen again….

I hope they both die in prison

Oh my God, that’s so horrific on so many different levels ☹️

Honestly this case has really affected me. I pity the poor jurors having to go through such horrific evidence.

Bluntness100 · 02/12/2021 16:48

I have to be honest, I sincerely hope both these people are horrifically tortured in prison every single day for the rest of their lives.

Every single day I want someone to feed them salt, starve them, make them stand for hours on end, beat them, abuse them, mock them, make them sleep on the cold floor, video them and let’s us all see. Every single day I want the other prisoners to do that to them, for the rest of their lives.

Just like they did every single day to that little boy. And I want them to live till a ripe old age in prison, taking that daily torture they inflicted, and then die a cold horrible lonely death as people video them and mock them like that little boy died.

It’s the only justice.

Why oh why is MN so bloody backward as to not have an edit function!

Naughtynovembertree · 02/12/2021 16:49

That's what needs looking at.
The repetition of Arthur supposed misdemeanours, the simple language used is very similar to the degeneration of other groups of people like the nazi to the Jewish people.
Like a brain washing.their whole life soley revolved around making Arthur stand up?

She said when he was in the hallway he was out of sight and mind? Absolute nonsense, its almost like he became their hobby and obsession during lock down.
I suspect he didn't like her early on so she started to say it was him and his behavior and she wasn't going to put up with it.
