Which cutures?

I may get my comment deleted here, but a lovely young girl fromPakistan said “ The problem with British girls is that they are NOT BEATEN Enough.

This young girl was sent off to marry a cousin and was never seen in her family shop again.
She’d wanted to study - but wasn’t allowed to go to University.
edit: her brothers were allowed to get up to all sorts .
A very macho culture.

He seems to have confessed but then kept his plea as it was so it is going to have to be for the jury to decide who did what based on the evidence.

Most of the horrific child abuse cases in this country are related to white British people, so take your racism and shove it up your arse

Anonymousess · 13/11/2024 17:15

One thing that strikes me about the description of the video of him slapping Sara is that she is described as having a red mark on her face covered by sudocrem.

No parent should purposely slap their child on a sudocrem covered injury even as a game, that just falls so far below the standard of care expected from parents.

I think it’s shocking that he attended parenting courses and domestic abuser programs. I appreciate he didn’t attend the whole course, but those classes just seem completely unfit for purpose. What was covered in those classes? What was the consequence of him not attending - why was he allowed to have unrestricted access to his children when he was deemed as needing these classes to begin with?

I get that society can’t easily stop abusers abusing but children need better protection in place. For all intents and purposes this was a shocking household dynamic; completely dysfunctional - hearing about the messages the adults sent to each other/others, the constant sly filming of each other, the history of violence, involvement of authorities etc.

A religion is not a race pet. So how is she being racist.

Do explain

namechange1975 · 13/11/2024 17:18

Obviously most of the child abuse cases in this country would be related to white British people as this is a white country. I am speaking as a brown person before I'm also accused of being racist.

I hope they all rot in hell.

RIP beautiful girl. Everyone failed you.

The family courts need to be fully open and under more scrutiny. They are completely faceless and above the law. I always think of that man that locked those two poor boys in the loft and set fire to the house. They didn't even want to go to his.

I'm not surprised that Sarah's full brother was treated well. My daughter was abused by her pig of a father and she still can't understand why her brother wasn't.

People denying it's to do with the culture are off their heads. This man came from a country with a massively high rate of honour killings and a quick Google states a woman is raped every 2 hours..and they're only statistics of the ones reported. Of course women in all countries and religions suffer but let's not pretend culture doesn't have anything to do with it. The Taliban won't even allow women to speak in public now.

I'll be appalled if he doesn't get a whole life sentence. The other two sick bstrds need to get life too. If she won't do a dental cast then we can only assume she's culpable too. Those poor kids need rescuing from Pakistan asap. And finally, I said this on another thread about another case, we need professional juries.

I genuinely think the government needs to be pushed to expose family courts more as well as consider our jury system. This case is just another example of the absolute mess out services are in.

Rest in peace Sarah. Your beautiful face makes me cry.

I hope a serious case review comes out of this. Sara couldn’t be saved but I have no doubt there’s hundreds of girls just like her in the UK.

What a disgusting thing to say. Shame on you.

PreBlendOils · 13/11/2024 17:28

Not only is he an evil, child murdering bastard, he's a fucking coward as well. He ran away after her murder leaving her little body alone with a note. Tried to blame it all on the step mother, then when his pathetic story fell apart in court, he changes tactics and takes the blame again. I hope he lives the rest of his miserable life in pain every single day.

Gosh, no it would get equally lambasted. Heinous crime but there has to be an acknowledgement that some cultures (under the guise of religion perhaps or vice versa) do some awful things to women and curtailing freedoms.

It's like some of these countries/cultures/people are still living in the middle ages (to be fair, a woman in the ME in most of Europe had more freedom and freedom to speak than those living under Taliban rule now)!

What absolute rubbish you speak! I really despise that some people do this.

There was post after post about little Arthur and Star, both of whom were killed at the hands of white women.

Enigma52 · 13/11/2024 17:40

The worst thing is, that at the end of the trial, when sentences have been passed, we will get the usual:

" Lessons need to be learned, so that this never happens again"

And all those who could have saved Sara, or protected her, will crawl back under their stones and carry on living their lives.

Despicable.

I disagree. I feel like there’s been a lot of widely publicised cases of white people committing heinous crimes.

If anything, it’s more to do with the victim whether crimes get mass media attention or not, it’s not necessarily down to the perpetrator per se. For example: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_white_woman_syndrome

Wow you speak a lot of utter shit and rubbish

Of course we would care if a white British man killed a child.

No one's going to say :
"Oh great a white man has killed a child" are they?

Why are you so extremely defensive?

What religion are you? You sound brainwashed.

Yea there were a lot of threads on here saying how disgusting it was for those children to be killed.

Both of those children were killed by white women.

fedup33 · 13/11/2024 17:47

Here's a lesson.....If you hear a child being abused day in day out , get off your backside and ring the police

Another....if a kid is bruised and a cause for concern and they disappear from school follow it up

MidnightMeltdown · 13/11/2024 17:48

Because if a white British muslim had done this there wouldn’t be the uproar.

He's not a Muslim. No religion supports murdering children.

If he says that he is then he should be sent back to Pakistan and sentenced in a Muslim court. An eye for an eye...

WeaselCheeks · 13/11/2024 17:54

BigSmallFigBall · 13/11/2024 14:58

The system supports abusive men.

It's fucking awful that he was reported by multiple different, unconnected women, all with extremely similar stories of abuse, and a) these cases didn't seem to have been pursued, even after a pattern was established, and b) he was deemed fit to have full custody of a little girl. There seems to be far too much of an attitude of, "Oh sure, he's an abusive prick to women, but that doesn't mean he's a bad dad!"

That poor, poor child.

Wonderi · 13/11/2024 18:18

I cannot comprehend this at all.
I cannot even find the words.

It shocks me to the core when I read about people killing kids but when it’s even harder to swallow when it’s regular torture and abuse.

Who sees their baby being poorly and then beats them with a stick over it.

It sounds bad but I am glad she’s dead and I’m just sorry that she had to deal with this for so long.

It’s worse that there are multiple people involved.
You do get sick individuals but it’s sickening to know that others knew it was going on and either joined in or did nothing about it.

Does anyone know if she went to school or church or anything?

I’m so sad that this little girl had absolutely no one being kind to her or that she could trust.

I imagine it’s possible that the airline were well aware of the arrests and may have moved them to an area with more space/ fewer people to facilitate a swift removal from the flight.

I really hope they weren’t indulging in first class food and drinks on the flight itself.

Yes I think it's likely they were moved into first class by the cabin crew.
