Gosh, how sad. (100% sarcastic)

Fingers crossed!

Oh, he's a wee fanny. If you want a laugh, read up about the time he blocked half of twitter by mistake.

Not a beast though, bless him.

I agree.

The level of absolute betrayal, it honestly makes me sick.

Those poor, poor kids are going to have to have that explained to them some day when they’re older, and I just hope they’re being raised by people who can support them through that discovery.

Agreed. I don’t think I can read them. I just don’t understand. I’m not excusing him, but he did use heavy drugs like crystal meth, maybe they did too. They are inhumane.

My god. I know what nonce stands for 🤣 it’s not the early 1900s though and you are completely and utterly wrong about how we allocated and hold prisoners in the modern day prison service. Thanks for the history chat though, irrelevant though it was

I hope it hurt.

And yet Jeremy Bamber still lives and thrives...

Right enough, must be about time for his annual appeal.

I really hope they’re okay, and are in much more loving and supportive homes. I also wondered if they would ever find out what happened to them as a child. I guess for safeguarding reasons, no. That could destroy someone’s life. If it was me, I would never want to know. God bless their souls.

I'm literally just pondering the same thing. Should they really be told? Or is the lie by omission kinder?

Imagine being its parents.

Exactly

I've just visited a prison (in a professional capacity) and sex offenders are kept separate from the rest of the prison population (HMP).

Do you work in a prison?

Also, please tell me where I said they’re not at risk? EVERY prisoner is at risk from someone potentially. We do not house sex offenders on special units together or in solitary confinement as a rule. Try and grasp the concept of reading a post before harking back to the 1900s will you?

What an odd and aggressive response and you've misread the meaning of my post.

Yes.

All of them? Or some of them? Because there’s a huge difference

My DH and I were just discussing this, and we both agreed that it’s for the best that they don’t know. I work in MH, and very few people who experience childhood sexual abuse are able to recover from it or overcome it really. It’s truly sad and inconceivably traumatic.

Whilst I won’t be popping open the champagne this evening, my thoughts truly are with the victims. I really don’t mean that as a virtue signalling post, I genuinely feel for them to be perfectly honest.

@neverbeenskiing
Give it a rest. Are you always so morally superior?

Why shouldn’t people rejoice in the utter vile scumbags death? In life and in death, he deserves all the hatred he gets and more.

His real name is also Ian Watkins. It did take me a minute though as I didn’t remember either.

Unsure how it's odd or aggressive? Please do educate me though? I'm open to being taught to understand how I have misread your post?

I was thinking the victims would need to be told from the perspective of when, assuming they've been adopted, they reach the age of 18 or beyond and maybe want to contact their birth mothers. They would need to know why this is highly inadvisable.

I think I have to agree, purely because the effects could be absolutely devastating. Those poor souls have suffered enough, I pray for their happiness.

That’s a very valid point. Would they omit some information though? For example, you were removed from your mother’s care due to abuse / sexual abuse. I can’t imagine knowing the full story is going to do anybody any good.

What an odd comment. I'm interested in why you're upset with people's outrage at arguably the most immoral of crimes? If you think this thread is distasteful you don't have to read it and yet you did. Furthermore you have tried to admonish posters who express happiness at the news of his death. It's not a loss. He was irredeemable. Do you have sympathy for Ian Watkins perhaps? In what way are you more clued up that anybody else here? You're post is like a red flag. You're moral compass is way off....

Yes, there must be a way to convey the information without including every detail. I can't even read them myself.

Yes, let's hope those poor souls NEVER discover what happened. 🙏
