THE PARENTS HAVE BEEN CHARGED

[YardBroom]

.

Gosh what a horrible thread. So many people making up stories about why they might have done it, as if it's entertainment. They haven't been proven guilty yet.

And why the caps in the thread title? You sound almost excited that the parents have been charged.

Well said muminthecity. First thread on Mumsnet I've felt moved to hide.

mumin there has been alot of discussion about this case since the arrest. Hence the caps.

why is it horrible to discuss something in the news which the whole country has been shocked and saddened at the loss of those young lives. It is in th news, in the papers, on the internet, but not to be discussed here?

You are a bit odd

makes me laugh the threats to hide a thread

After reading the thread title, what exactly did you expect to find when you clicked on it?

Don't encourage a thread by posting on it if you don't like it!

perhaps they didnt even mean to start the fire.
perhaps they are charged because a fire was started in error. it can happen. i dunno know. will keep try to keep further speculation under wraps

that;s why i think it was One of them.
was an unusual family set up

The capitals in your title sit very uneasily with me.

And I opened the thread in the hope that there were some vioces of sanity on here.

Thank fuck there are.

I'm in no way defending them but I just think that for the children's sake they should've been put in a slightly bigger house. I don't mean a mansion so they can have a bedroom each just maybe an extra room so they're not packed in as much.

DH watched that press conference, looked at the way the senior policeman was watching them and said "The Police think they did it!"

As for the charge, at this stage it has to be murder; as for the trial, assuming the evidence stacks up, my bet is they will either plead guilty to manslaughter or be found guilty of it (obviously with a difference in sentence). Hard to see murder sticking, but an interesting case.

Terrible terrible circumstances.

I think we all need to remember that regardless of if these parents did this be it by accident or on purpose that small children have died at the result of the evil or the stupidity of someone out there.

Their families are grieving for them and as mums ourselves we should all be taking it into consideration the hurt that words can cause.

hereigo do you know he convinced her??

She may of been willing to allow it!

i think you would be numb but feel you had to put on a show. hate how they put people on camera in those situations.

Oy my God.

This case just gets more and more upsetting. RIP, children.

thesecondcoming - first at what. What on earth are you on about??

calamitykate yes you can cry yourself tearless...

btw i see the griefmeisters are out in force....disgusting
