I 'm just so devastated having seen, without warning, pictures of a dying child being carried into A & E by her abuser.

[potatofactory]

I had no idea of the full story at all until I had read the story. I'm horrified obviously by the story - but by the Daily Mail (I know - I was looking at it) I won't be looking at the site again. Why? Four different views...

That poor poor child - but I'm just so appalled by the paper. They are using the shot as the headline picture - you don't have to click on the story to see it.

You've done the same thing though...

Used a shocking title to get people to read it.

There was no title before the picture was there. But - you know - thanks.

Obviously I wish I hadn't posted. Yes - sorry if you feel all pedantic about the word I chose.

Do you have a new born? It's normal to feel a bit irrational, hormonal and hypersensitive.

Wow. Heartless fuckers on this thread. Op I know how you feel, I can't bear it when i see things like that. Just keep away from rags like the DM in future to avoid!

Yes. Probably easily-floored. I'll keep it to myself next time x

I have seen it. It is just there on the dm website so you can't miss it.

I was not looking for upsetting or grim stories - just idly looking whilst feeding my baby.

I saw it too

Sadly the press have no idea about inappropriateness

I guessed straight away that you had a new born. I could basically only watch the vicar of dibley and read the chalet school. It will pass.

'I was not looking for upsetting or grim stories - just idly looking whilst feeding my baby.'

On the DM website? You lack judgement, there are other sites to look at when you are bored. The story is horrific, but of course it would be sensationalised by certain papers. That's what they are famous for.

Offs knew I shouldn't have read that, poor baby

Yes - got it. Still surprised by harshness. I won't be looking again / hadn't much before. No room for everyone not being as up-to speed as everyone else I guess

The same picture is on sky news website too and probably on others, I chose not to read the story as I knew it would be upsetting and I don't have a newborn

I don't know the story but I'm a wimp sensitive when it comes to news stories & my dc are 18 & 12! So I empathise

Not looked. Sounds like an awful story and very upsetting for anyone feeling a bit hormonal or sensitive.

Not looked, but I agree that pictures are unnecessary. Most people would be quite upset enough just finding out, or even having confirmed, that it happens, without visual "evidence". DM like to go for the OMG market, though.

The picture upset me too OP I have a fairly new baby as well and I can't read the DM at all at the moment because they are always publishing very upsetting stories on the front page (other news websites I look at don't seem to as much). I'm trying to look at this as a good thing as I hope it will cure my sidebar-of-shame habit...

Reassured that people say that the sensitivity passes a little as I worry about how I'll cope when I go back to work?!

I just don't get threads like this, I don't understand why you feel the need to start a thread like this. Obviously the devastation is the abuse and death of a child. You are 'devastated' not simply by the facts of the child's murder but specifically because you 'saw pictures without warning'?

She had warning, it was the DM.
That's like reading Nuts magazine and being shocked by the sexism....without warning.

You're right - but was shocked and upset by use of images too - have not seen such before & was unaware that a & e CCTV was just there on homepages.

I won't be looking again so warning heeded now.

Why does the OP get a pasting for being shocked and upset by something that is in fact shocking and upsetting . It's not like she's upset over Bog Brother or who got nominated for an Oscar. Give her a break.

op some things we see are so shocking to us, we have to share.
I havn't seen it, but have a hug
