Terribly sad

What the heck could have happened?

so sad - will we ever know?

Feel so much for the family (dad and three younger brothers?) left behind. So very sad.

so they've found him then?

Horrible situation all round.

Family must be devestated.

This is a very very weird story all round.

Have just realised that the mother was only 17 when James was born (and his father was 19 apparently, but I don't know when they separated), so she has been looking after him for more than half her life.

newspaper (rag admittedly) was hinting she took her own life.
perhaps she didnt in that case.

very sad.

extremely sad

Oh please not another murder of a person with learning difficulties.

Sick bastards.

I really thought I must have misheard when the ITV news reported he had been found in the family home but now I read in the paper he had been found buried in the family back garden and neighbours hadn't seen James for months, nor had the bus called for several weeks to take him to a care centre.

I hope of the 2 men arrested it isn't a family member.

I also thought it odd that the police have described the death of the mother as unexplained.

It is all so sad. There is a 6 year old in all of this who has lost his brother and his mother.

what??? OMG I thought from the report last night it was a random killing.

Poor, poor children.

?am confused, i thought both mum and son went out to a friends and never came home??

have to admit, when they played on his disabilities i DID think she was at the end of her tehter and had killed herself, but now this is all very strange??

i just read this in the daily mirror

I thought it was strange that they didnt confirm the mums death was suicide

Keep waiting for more info on this case; I can't quite imagine what has happened or why. It seems there is much more to this than meets the eye. That poor woman and poor James.

This is a very good article which state some very valid facts about the stress that carers face day in day out

and I know its the daily mirror but honestly I was looking at the miriam stoppard problem page in relation to another thread

well crh 'our' social worker is still ignoring my calls

No one knows when James was last seen and I don't think they left together.

I am ashamed of the world we have today.

I heard they'd found his body on the radio this morning - poor man.

I notice they are saying she was 'hanged' but not whether it was suicide or murder.

I didn't realise until I read this thread that he could've been missing longer..

I thought I heard yesterdya that James and his mother had been at a friends house that morning?!?

(I can't believe that Fio!! Well I do.. but can't imagine why!! Have you got her mob no? I have it.. do you want it? Keep ringing until they put you through to her.. or make someone tell you why nobody is returning your calls!! Sorry if you're already doing this)

Latest on BBC

why did the father report both of them missing when theyve only now said it was MUM who went out?
