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 dont think anybody objects to it being talked about.

The objection is against sensationalist headings with gory details. It is in bad taste.

And see I now see a lot of the "usual" posters offering such gems as "LOL at irony"

Well done, back to yer wine luv.

Anyway. I am leaving the forum now.

Might return when all this has blown over.

Yep,QS has put it much more succinctly than my late night rambling

Trinity Rhino, you are a hoot.

respec to trinity.

I don't get why people need to go on and on about it on a message board.

"usual" posters? As opposed to what? the unusual ones

TrinityRhino good girl

the only problem with my cunning plan is that my hand would fall off by the time I had tapped the post button enough to max out the thread

Oh and it shouldn't be in any one particular thread.

You don't actually own this forum or have you been misinformed?

Oooh, is that me? I am, sadly, pretty usual.

TrinityRhino need a hand?

TrinityRhino need a hand?

it belongs to all of us, lavie. Feel the love

I did make a comment on one thread but was flamed for it because it wasn't joining in with the tabloid-style hysteria - I just don't really care for these discussions any more.

Some of us have an inkling of the realities of child protection rather than believing everything we hear in the media, but it appears MN isn't interested in that.

I think this whole thread is unreasonable - starting with the OP. Everyone - take a deep breath and get some perspective.

I'm going to watch Il Divo now
