Ever wished you had not read something which you cannot then get out of your head ?

Not strictly a news item but l just checked my facebook messages and one friend has just posted a request to sign a petition against allowing the killers of Jamie Bulger to receive lifetime anonimity and new lives in Australia ... bad enough but he also gave some detail of what they did to that poor little lad and now l cannot get it out of my mind, l knew it was bad, but apparently the press only reported some of it... just awful and now with 2 kiddies of my own 2.5 and 5 months this kind of thing effects me more deeply and l cannot stop thinking of that poor boy what he went through and his Mum. Anyone else feel the same ??

The Daily Mail, bless them, published 10 most grusome types of death penalty from history last week in the middle of a light hearted article about top ten lists of random things. I know it was all a long time ago but I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Wish I had decided just to skip that list.

I don't understand why people read the in depth stuff about what happened to children like Jamie Bulger - one gleans fairly quickly that he was abused and murdered, and that is all you need to know to have a sense of awareness that there are dangers to children out there.

I would no more read an in-depth report about the vile details than I would watch a snuff movie or read a porno magazine about child abuse. And if someone sent me such salacious shit through Facebook, I would tell them to keep it to themselves.
