Young Mum fights for life after being stabbed pushing her 2 yr old

[DillyDally]

shocking

just read that 2 have been arrested

Just so saddened by this

It has made me feel sick to the bottom of my stomach

am speechless about this .Cant believe in such sick violence .It makes you feel grim about the world.

Shocking, sickening - poor lady .

This is such a shocking attack. The BBC is reporting that she is paralysed from the neck down here

saw on sky that she's communicating with her family and her parents are looking after her little boy, poor little pet. She can't talk, is using facial expressions to communicate.

Horrific.

were they trying to steal the boy? i live v near where rachel nickell was murdered, in fact before the murder used to do the same walk, so this just confirms to me that it isn't safe to walk alone even during the day...which is hateful...poor woman, poor darling baby boy and poor family...awful thing.

My god sophable do you really believe that? Do you never go out walking on your own?

I love going for walks with my dd's, do it regularly. Are you saying I should stop???

No news on why it happened. I just hope the police have got the man that did it (the woman has been released). It just seems strange that they walked into the police station - maybe we'll hear more about it soon. It just seems odd that they haven't charged him yet.

It sounds paranoid, but I don't go to a lovely country park near us in the winter, because I know it will be deserted, unless it's with a group of friends. I did it once with me and the kids on our own, and I just kept thinking "this looks like a good place to be murdered" - I simply didn't enjoy it. I'll only ever go where I know there will be a reasonable number of other people, even in daytime, so that I feel safe.

Sorry, that was in response to Emkana and walking alone.

Yeah, but are you any more at risk out than in?

Last year some IDIOT tried to set fire to my (thern( 3 year old's wood framed bedroom, just pure chance it didnt take, nothing we could have donw because of layout of house. No reason, just a passsing p*head. Police wouldnt even attend.

I do go out walking alone but I wouldn't anywhere deserted, even the woods near me although I've seen women with buggies there. It's so awful that we any of us feel like this.

The police wouldn't attend an attempted arson? I'd be on to the local paper...

I am reminded of a story that I read about the ex PM of Israel Golder Mair (sp?) At the time of the story she was the only female minister on the Israeli cabinet and not the PM.

The gevernment was worried at a spate of rapes in Israel and some men sugested a curfew of women to keep them safe.

She spoke out and said that as it was men that were breaking the law the curfew should be on the men.

Itsb't it bad enough that this dreadful think happens to one woman? It just makes it woprse it it takes even more freedom from honest, law abiding people? Time to say enough is enough!

Well Caligula, apaprently it was our fault for having an alley past our (rented) house.

My thoughts are with the family of the poor girl.

What about her son poor chap will be scared for life.

fingers crossed she pulls through.

I hope te bastards that done this go away for a long long time

I guess at least they came forwards. I guess that helps the family.. maybe eighty years in hard labour instead of a hundred?

How much do you think the poor lad will remember? I have one about the same age and I don't think he would remember anything, but they say you have a 'flashbulb' memory of this sort of thing? Poor, poor soul!

Can't even begin to think how the Mum must feel. Scared, I gues.

what i mean is exactly as caligula described: won't walk where i know will be deserted.

Just seen that Abigail Witchalls was pregnant as well - don't know if she lost the baby or not.

The latest today How awful for her

So so sad

This is so, so awful, the pictures of her and her husband on the beach with their son were heartbreaking.
