THe father wasn't the risk, she wasn't protecting her kids from him.

She was the risk - she killed one of them and I hope she is never allowed to see her other children again.

This "a man us usually behind abuse" is sickening.

Jeez. What - are you saying all women are weak and can only operate the way a man makes them?! Misandry.

She did this!! It was not a man's doing.

scottishmummy · 26/07/2014 10:54

Ms adekoya want living with any man when she perpetrated her crime.
she wasnt compelled,encouraged,or coerced by any man.she acted alone
Criminal justice is about removing liberty as punishment but also that she take responsibility fir her action

scottishmummy · 26/07/2014 11:06

We need to disavow ourselves of notion women are compelled into criminality by men
Individual responses duffer,as dies responsibility but women need to be held accountable too
It is lintellectuallyvazy,and lacks rigour to presume must be a man behind it

Viviennemary · 26/07/2014 11:07

Why will people not accept the fact that some women can be violent and cruel towards a defenceless tiny child. . As in this case. The facts of the case are horrific. It wasn't a moment of madness it was sustained assault and then the child was left to die for two days when she could have sought medical help.. I hate posting this but honestly the facts have been printed for all too see. Unless they are wrong.

scottishmummy · 26/07/2014 11:10

Why?numerous factor -socialisation,expectation of mothers,denial ,socio-political leaning,overly sentimental about women

Exactly. She had personal responsibility. She - not the men in her life - killed that poor boy.

She was compos mentis enough to go clubbing, do her beauty course and all that. She is a doctor's daughter, not some person who has never been around intelligence, or who was living under straitened circumstances.

Personal responsibility all the way.

Because, and I mean this, there is probably not a person alive who is completely undamaged or unaffected by things in their past. That's just human life. What we choose to do with our lives makes the difference. She was deemed well enough to have her kids back by the experts!

Hemmings latest Bill

I gather JH is also involved in a working group with Paul Storey QC for those innocent parents who are accused wrongly of behaving like Rosedeep, when they are only guilty of passing on a genetic condition to their children.

Now the full story has come out, I want to cry for the children and for the other children and families who will also suffer at her hands as a result of what she did.

Compassion in psychiatric practice drives good practice.Pnd is an example
There is now an awareness of pnd,perinatal teams,and postnatal support
Pnd is usually managed in community.but if requiring hospital there are mother& baby units to maintain rapport and bond and aid recovery

Other conditions such as ASD is now not simply treated as naughty child.
driven by compassion and enquiry to understand this has positively changed practice
We need compassion in health and social care to drive good practice

An example....one of the instagram messages she posted during the time she was systematically murdering this defenseless little boy.......

“As long as you are breathing you still have the chance for a better and happier life.”

She chose to deprive him of a happy life. I for one, have no part of my being that can empathise with her!

scottishmummy · 26/07/2014 15:04

No one asking one to empathise with her.and no one is making excuses
The moral high ground does not only belong to the she's evil,let her rot crew
It's entirely possible to feel revulsion and sorrow without need to want retribution

Shia · 26/07/2014 15:07

When Mikaeel was first reported missing, I like many people looked at Rosdeep's facebook profile. She had many friends, female as well as male.

Did they question who was looking after her children?

On nights out, did she lie about having a babysitter? Did her friends know she was leaving the children alone?

Ultimately the responsibility is hers but I do wonder what her friends thought about her being able to go out all of the time.

Babysitters are sometimes hard to get and of course there is the cost.

scottishmummy · 26/07/2014 15:09

In fairness it's not up to her social acquaintances to query whom children were with
What the acquaintances dud or didn't know That's not got a bearing on case

Shia · 26/07/2014 15:19

You would think that people would ask and if they knew the truth would discourage her from being negligent or avoid her.

YNK · 26/07/2014 15:30

Wow SM.....where did I say I wanted retribution????

YNK · 26/07/2014 15:33

SM, child protection is everyones business. That little boy might have been saved if more people questioned why he was being cut out of her photos!

somewherewest · 26/07/2014 19:58

I agree with London, if it had been a man there would have been no sympathy at all

Agree.

scottishmummy · 26/07/2014 20:31

I don't need lectured on principles of CP.
We don't know what the role iof her acquaintances were,or if they knew she left kids unattended
Her own mother reported her to SW,as she had concerns that kids were left alone

YNK · 27/07/2014 10:05

SM.....lectured??? Where?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 27/07/2014 10:40

The 'child protection is everyone's business' post looked a bit like a lecture to me, YNK - almost sanctimonious.

Groovee · 25/08/2014 14:00

Sentencing was this morning. 11 years.

Dunno. If a man had been left with five children to raise on his own ... Yes, I think maybe some people might raise concerns that he hadn't had more support.
