TO THINK THAT THOSE WITH "NO INTEREST" IN BABY P CASE ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM?

[pofaced]

I don't read the Sun/ Dail Mail. I don't vote Conservative. I don't get off on gruesome details BUT

A child died after grotesque abuse despite the authorities being aware of his "distress"

It is proper for people to want to know how the hell this happened (and so how it can be prevented from happening again) without being accused of being voyeuristic/ sensationalist etc....

If we all close our ears/ eyes to all the horrid things that go on/ believe there'll always be "a few" parents who can't quite take care of their children. are we not somehow accepting that there'll always be a few Victoria Climbies/ baby P etc...

FFS there is such a thing as society! Don't turn a blind eye or get caught up in blame and recriminations... actively participate in your children's school/ playgroup/ ehgage with other parents/ children/ report suspicions etc etc and PERSIST!

I don't think you have got the picture,sorry.I think it wasn't anti the discussion.It was saying that it should be in ONE thread.Yes it is distressing.VERY distressing.Sometimes life is unspeakably bad.I care for individuals with life limiting conditions for a living.I have a child with special needs,I have a partner who will probably not see life beyond the next 10 years if he is lucky.All those things are bad.Probably not as bad as an innocent child being beaten to death or whatever,but what the op was saying was that there don't need to be hundreds of threads talking about it.LIFE IS SAD!!Sometimes its horrid.People deal with it in different ways.It is life.I don't think we are ignoring it,just saying it could go on one thread!I am as horrified as the next person about it,of course questions need answering with regard to systemic failure and so on.

op is spectacularly missing the point methinks...

Completely agree pofaced. Apparently ({hmm]) if you post on a subject that has already been posted on then it is the end of the world.

Oh no hang on, it's just an internet forum where you can actually discuss what you want.

I accept that hearing about recent cases is distressing. Fine, so don't read the thread.

But whilst you (basically most of the above posters) bury your head in the sand, abuse still happens.

Ah well, as long as you and your kids are all right....

Have you read further than the OP, LaVie??

No, you're quite right. Posting on an internet forum about how sad you are saves children's lives for sure

Yep

No it doesn't save children's lives! How could it

I see, you have just chosen to not take it in.

Fair enough, that is the right we all have.

So, let me get this straight, posting on websites using lots of capital letters somehow stops child abuse from happening? Wow. If only we'd known.

ah, see Madonna got there ahead of me!

You're all very clever. i bow to you.

Obviously you're all completely missing the point of the op but hey, go on, have a good go.

But you did highlight the importance of the capital letters...

So explain it then, LaVie, since you clearly have understood.

Do none of you understand irony?

Stupid question.

Or perhaps I disagree with it. Or think it is making assumptions that are not based in fact.

LOL at irony

irony? like, rain on yoer wedding day

Oh, you see I'm being a bit rude now. Should have just hidden this thread too.

why are you still here pofaced?

The op is trying to point out that although the baby p case is very disturbing it should be talked about.

Lots of posters have objected to it being talked about.

Fine, so don't read, don't post. It's basically coming across as though, if we don't talk about it it didn't/won't happen.

Oh and don't dare post more than one thread on it.

Why not?
