Horrifying, and one of the worst things seem to be that the police have been bought off.

I have posted about this years ago. Nobody seemed interested... As a little personal protest, I don't support any charities that provide help to Uganda unless they seem to acknowledge children are killed by some of the poor that we may be aiding and are taking steps to alleviate the problem.

Say more, memyson. Does that have bearing on this petition do you think? You seem to have a lot of background knowledge there.

Blueberties · 13/10/2011 12:59

why isn't this in threds I'm on

Blueberties · 13/10/2011 13:52

Bumpety bump. Unfortunately the other thread was deleted. Real, real shame.

Blueberties · 13/10/2011 13:54

well maybe I spoke too soon

Rhubarb0oooo · 13/10/2011 13:55

Sorry, being dumb but where on that link is the petition?

Blueberties · 13/10/2011 13:56

I think it's the third or fourth post.

Rhubarb0oooo · 13/10/2011 14:03

Cheers.

HandDivedScallopsrgreat · 13/10/2011 14:11

I was hoping that there would be thread about this, having seen the BBC News for the last 2 nights. Horrific!

Signed the petition.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 13/10/2011 14:38

yy MeMySonAndI, could you please elaborate?

Bamaluz · 13/10/2011 15:06

Horrific, utterly beyond belief that this could be happening in this day and age.

Signed.

Bamaluz · 13/10/2011 15:33

Bumping.

onagar · 13/10/2011 15:36

Me, I'd take them out and shoot them, but maybe the lack of interest is because it is their religion. You are supposed to respect people's beliefs as just about anyone on MN will tell you.

Also it's a bit tricky for Christians & Jews since the bible supports child sacrifice/murder with god's approval.

SearchSquad · 13/10/2011 15:50

Signing the petition.

Wish I could help in a more tangible way!

Bamaluz · 13/10/2011 16:45

Bumping again.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 13/10/2011 17:05

Another bump from me.

It's a real shame the AIBU thread was removed. Without wanting to get into a discussion on the rights and wrongs of its deletion, there's so much more traffic there.

2old2beamum · 13/10/2011 17:13

done wish we could do more

greyghoul · 13/10/2011 17:22
