Daniel Pelka's mother has died in jail

[mrsdavidbowie]

Well no loss there.

[IhateMagic]

I don't often laugh gleefully at the death of someone......I did today.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I'm not sorry for her at all, whyever should I be. She was cruel and heartless towards an innocent and defenceless child.

[YouPooPooBumBum]

She tortured and caused the death of a precious little boy, her own son.
She was his mum. She was supposed to do anything to keep him safe and instead she beat him and starved him. The world won't miss her.

[PyjamasLlamas]

Why would anyone be 'sorry' for her? There was no evidence that she had a mental illness she was just an evil human being

[Fizrim]

Daniel wasn't her only child - I am thinking of her other child tonight, it must be so hard to wonder why she did that to Daniel and not to him. No winners in this story at all.

[YouPooPooBumBum]

^I think she had 2/3 other children? So yes, I feel sorry for them.

[AoifeBell]

I agree Ihatemagic and MrsDavidBiwie. Glad we don't have to pay to feed and "house" that scum anymore. She should of done it sooner. I hope she burns.

[PyjamasLlamas]

But why feel more sorry for them now? It's not like they just lost a loving mother. At least this way there is no chance she could ever get out and hurt them too

[PyjamasLlamas]

I mean to say obviously I feel sorry for her other children. What a hideous thing to carry with you for the rest of your life. But her death? No.

[SophiePendragon]

Aoife, do you ever think about her other children and how they might feel to read this sort of hatred online when they are older, or even now?

No, I didn't think you did.

THEY are still suffering because of what happened. You're not. It is that simple. So I think people need to STFU and stop making this worse for THEM.

[Northernlurker]

There was never any chance of her harming her surviving child. I've just posted this on another thread and I'll say this here too - Can we NOT dance on somebody's grave please? It's despicable behaviour whoever the deceased is and what they've done.

[WidowWadman]

It's not been reported what she has died of, but if it's not of natural causes, it shows shortcomings in the prison system which are no cause for celebration no matter what she has done.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I'm not dancing but don't agree with your sentiment northernlurker. Some people just don't deserve our sympathy.

[DrElizabethPlimpton]

I have no feelings about the woman dying.

Her little boy's death however, truly one of the most horrific cases of child abuse and murder. His dear little face is haunting.

[GeorgeYeatsAutomaticWriter]

There's a very large middle ground between the gleeful comments on this thread, on the one hand, and sympathy, on the other ThroughThickandThin

[Andrewofgg]

Northernlurker It's you and me against the rest, isn't it?

[AoifeBell]

One of his siblings actually witnessed the attacks and helped Daniel, let him use the toilet and hoarded food to feed him. Cuddled avid kissed him after he was beaten. So yes, i do think of the other children. I think when they're older they'll understand the hate and harsh comments about their evil loathsome "mother"

I won't feel bad for feeling elated that that bitch is dead. Hopefully her boyfriend will follow suit!

[SophiePendragon]

Oh right thanks Andrew.

[PotteringAlong]

mrsdavidbowie I had to google who Daniel Pelka was when I saw this thread - I don't think it's a given that everyone knows who he is. And regardless of what she was in prison for someone else is dead. With other children and families. "Lol"?! Where's your sense of decency

[PotteringAlong]

(Sorry, clicked post as I was trying to edit) you lot? Gleeful over the death of a human? It's like a baying pack and not very pleasent.

[BleachEverything]

That case was heartbreaking.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Pottering, I'm not sure how you missed the news coverage about Daniel Pelka. You have to seriously avoid all news to have not known.

[AoifeBell]

Why are you sad that she's dead? Shes a child murderer. She KILLED A CHILD! Was you sad when Fred west died or Ian Brady? I will never be sad that someone like her is dead. The only thing I'm sad about is the fact that she only done two years of her sentence.
