I agree, 4 years! The poor mite was infested with them. They are not hard to get rid off, even if she just combed her hair every day with a nit comb.

Ladyanonymous · 30/04/2010 21:13

Did you see the size of them?!...And the amount of eggs?! Bleurgh!!

I cabn't stop itching....ekk!!

Was it a girl?? I really thought it was a boy for some reason.

Poor little thing. I can't believe she
a) didn't sort it
b) subjected that child to having it broadcast on 'national television'

Ladyanonymous · 30/04/2010 21:25

I kind of want them to check the mums hair too...

WTF ???? The poor kid has been suffering for FOUR YEARS ??????

Curiousmama · 30/04/2010 21:26
Shock
SoupDragon · 30/04/2010 21:27

But if she had she wouldn't have been able to have her 15 minutes of fame on national TV.

Ladyanonymous · 30/04/2010 21:27

950 fucking eggs WTF?!

There is absolutely no reason for a child to suffer for 4 years with a nit infestation.

Yes they are persistant little fuckers but with a month to six weeks serious and consistant combing you can get rid.

Lazy parenting of the worst kind.

YANBU or judgy.

underactivethyroidmum · 30/04/2010 21:33

Poor poor child

That mother should be ashamed of herself

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 30/04/2010 21:52

poor kids going to get bullied even more now (sad)

Ladyanonymous · 30/04/2010 21:55

The one with the poo problem may do too

JustMyTwoPenceWorth · 30/04/2010 21:55

Why didn't she sort it out, did she say?

BAFE · 30/04/2010 21:59

she said she's tried everything and every product but clearly she hasn;t done the "comb with nit comb every night for 2 months".

I agree, lazy parenting.

underactivethyroidmum · 30/04/2010 22:00

Because she obviously doesn't give a shit !

Ladyanonymous · 30/04/2010 22:00

She couldn't be arsed couldn't.

Because I do not believe she went through her hair every night like she just said and there were still 950 eggs in there.

Shes just shown herself up IMO.

lol at lazy parenting. call her a shit mother by all means but lazy parenting is just soooo daily mail.

Disenchanted3 · 30/04/2010 22:02

I though this poor girl

ptiger · 30/04/2010 22:04

I think mum said the reason when the little girl was in the clinic, she wouldn't sit still for her, she probably just gave up if the little girl wouldn't sit still. what is going to happen if she gets them again another 4 years!!!!!

CharlieBoo · 30/04/2010 22:05

Omg wasn't it shocking?!!!!! Me and dp watching it I said what a lazy cow!!! She had just left them!! Absolute disgrace, she made herself look like a lazy biaaatch!!!!

Ladyanonymous · 30/04/2010 22:08

She could've gone through it with a bloody garden fork removed more than the poor kid had in her head when she arrived in the TV studio....mum said shes like a different kid, is it any wonder?!

Am watching on +1, I struggled to get rid of my Dds nits, we had them for about 6 months but we got rid of them in oct and have been clear since Took a lot of combing and time. The mum was properably just throwing chemicals on her daughters hair and not bothering with the combing

MudandRoses · 30/04/2010 22:13

Lol, I started a thread about it in Telly Addicts! I couldn't believe you'd let the problem go on so long. The first respondent said she'd had the same experience of finding them impossible to get rid of...
I'm just saying...
