So where is Dominic Cummings child now?

[HedgehogDramas]

Sorry to start a new thread as it's only a question that I can't find an answer to. Did DC bring the child back home with him to London or has he left the child with the grandparents in Co Durham?

None of your business, the lynch mob he’s receiving is frankly disgusting!

@HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend

Totally agree with you

He made a show on tv of being harassed by reporters while loading a child's bike into the back of his car.

Playing the poor father role.

When you use your own child as defence for your own failure to interpret rules then you reap what you sow.

When you use same child for column inches in articles then you have no right to cry privacy

When you claim to flout rules because of said child then their whereabouts and childcare arrangements are a matter of public scrutiny

None of your business OP.

He clearly said that the child was never with his grandparents, they were in a house over 50 meters away

Ah great he didn’t have any immediate contact with his parents just the unsuspecting North East public - true man of the people.

in an alternate reality - if they went to the US, you might have been able to say that:

DC's DC is in DC

(I'll get my coat)

On a serious note, I've no idea

I was fully expecting to hear this child had some specialised and unusual requirements, like being tube fed or needing frequent injections, which might have made it difficult to find suitable childcare.
But nothing
Of course it will always be difficult to find child care if you don't have any money or contacts or staff or you live somewhere isolated, with a small population.

No, no and no, I’m afraid we will have to agree to disagree, the parents are i the limelight the child is not!!

Agree to disagree but would ask who put the child in the spotlight if not his parents?!

They've got a nanny. They've always had a nanny. His story is complete bullshit.

DC's DC is in DC

Also, it wasn't DC who left his DC in the pub, it was DC.

yeah- he apparently works incredibly hard making sure the country is safe, she presumably works full time, there are no schools so...how were they managing before they got ill
and why sisn't any of the press ask this?

The media with their absolutely vilification of this family.

I have heard his son is autistic, and that’s why they felt there were extenuating circumstances.

As someone with an autistic child I understand how difficult it can be for them to cope with change, especially if their parents are ill. However, it’s being discussed on many support groups I’m on and whilst we all understand how hard it can be, the fact that most of us have felt totally abandoned at best by the government, and terrified about the possibility that autistic people may automatically have dnr orders on their medical notes in the event that they are admitted to hospital with covid, I find it really hard to understand why DC wouldn’t have kept his son in the familiar home environment and used his sil to provide any required childcare. And the media shitshow they’ve unleashed on themselves a a family will be far more stressful and traumatic for his son than anything they could have envisaged if they were both ill and unable to care for him. With the jobs both parents have, I am sure there is a nanny in the picture.

There are many of us with autistic children, some of whom are single parent families with little support. We all cope because we have to.

He was filmed (face pixelated) and on the news the other day outside his home with his parents, fucking disgusting behaviour from the press. He's a 4 year old boy!! I hope he's driven to Durham again to get away from the batshit hounding the press are giving his family.

That's brought back some memories Oakmaiden -

Has the suspected autism been confirmed? Or is it a convenient rumour to garner sympathy - which has obviously worked.

Yes I'm cynical.

Look don can do what he wants.borris is his mate.police have said no reports of harassment. The simply answer is do want you think in the best interests of family.

Believe me if that child was autistic we’d have heard shitloads about it by now - and not as a convenient diversion. Drag your family into this and don’t cry wolf when people ask you questions. I think the media are best g particularly restrained to be honest.

Left at the pub. Oh wait, wrong Tory. Left with his mother and now DC pretends he doesn't exist. Oh wait, not him either

Got to love tory dads

Child safeguarding is everyone's business haud. And this child has parents who claim to think it's fine to put him in a car driven by a person who isn't sure they can do it safely.

Also if someone decides to write about their child in a national magazine, that means they risk people taking an interest.
