Should she have the right?

Would prison sentances of acted as a deterrent to the crime being discussed, I doubt it. T and V wouldn't have had the capacity to think about how long they would spend in prison when they comitted this atrocity. therfore how relevant is this?? This is thankfully a unique case and should be dealt with in such a manner, and i believe that it would have been thought about long and hard by all agnecies before releasing them

Your right - this lattr part isn't relevant; just gone off at a tangent that's all. I did write originally that I thought the "debate" about prison life might be better elsewhere.

I haven't (unless you count the 13yo hitting me with a chair at school when I was pg), but DH and BIL has, so has my brother - in his own home And my FIL was a police sargaent so we hear a lot of his experiences (or did before he retired).

I just want to dip in and say that I'm really sorry to read that Beets, I really am. It actually husr to read that.

Yes it would beety! I think I will leave it to someone else. Don't want to be responsible for starting anther infamous thread - I started the fruit and veg one in innocense!

BTW, I assume that comment about saying people are born evil wasn't aimed at me??? I never said that, or think that either.

no hula, i expect gdg

Beetroot, I just hope there are more people out there that think like you.

Whilst I accept that there are massive problems with the criminal justice system, I find it hard that people think that by having some form of understanding it immediately suggests you think people shouldn't be punished.

I don't feel sorry for all criminals but believe in SOME cases there are complex issues that need to be dealt with. If we don't believe in rehab in any sense then what should we do put everyone down who commits a disgusting crime, if so would that then apply to T and V??

Gobbledgook, why do you ask, could you tell me what an opinion should be if you have, because i'm totally lost with the point of this thread.

I know beetroot. I daren't start even the more innocent thread anymore. Started the teen pregnancy one too recently as found it interesting but daren't check it incase that turned bad too!!!

so there are people on this thread that honestly think that baby is born and has love and care and affection and lovely everything and then commits horrible act of horror out of nowhere???? you really really think this????????????

Hula, I'm really sorry if my remark came across as a criticism of your post - I am genuinely interested to hear about your work in prisons, and like sophable, I think it's great that there are educational opportunities available to prisoners.

GDG I wish you would attempt to present a reasoned argument instead of haranguing.

dior: maybe sometimes not upbringing (rarely imho) but certainly life experience?

No worries SM; I think my not so fab mood early coloured the way I read and took your message.So used to hearing the sarcastic tone of Y9s today I think I am just reading posts in the same light. Please ignor my whingy comment!

We won't go into hre or now Beets, not sure I Do know tbh but feel upset to think of you being hurt and just want to take the opportunity to say I think you're amazing and for someone I've never met I really care about you, weird but true. I hate that anyone could upset you or hurt you. hijack over.

dior: this is a personal question so feel free not to answer.

did you have someone (anyone) that was a good role model and source of support in your early life?
