Appropriate Adult

[ImperialBlether]

Just started watching it - seems really good already. Fred West (actor) is very good at making me feel very uncomfortable.

[festi]

just came to start thread myself. Im very worried its going to spook me. it looks very good, an uncanny likeness

[ImperialBlether]

He's so manipulative. That poor woman isn't allowed to repeat anything he's told her. I'd be no good - I'd be sending anonymous notes to the police!

[ImperialBlether]

It's as though she's been in the presence of evil for the first time in her life - awful, awful situation.

[MyGoldfishIsEvil]

I just started watching it too, mainly because I'm a fan of Dominic West after watching The Hour.

I think it will make for uncomfortable viewing - my dh just called me a sicko for watching it (affectionately of course).

[ImperialBlether]

I don't understand the role of appropriate adult. Why would he need that? Was it because he had a low IQ?

[festi]

is dominic west palying fred? wonder if there is any distant conection.

[ShutUppaYourFace]

Imperial apparently it was because the police were concerned he was of low intelligence

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

This is really grim. But glued!

[MrsSnoops]

I'm watching. The way he is so matter of fact about it and sort of showing empathy for his victims. He seems very detached from what he has done.

Very creepy

[festi]

I would say so imperial, they need to if they feel he has a low intelegance or underlaying psychiatric issue that my need need a full assesmnet. Often APs are called upon in many cases like this due to possible questionable MH etc, it covers the police basically.

[festi]

may not need a full assesment, I should say.

[ChazsBrilliantAttitude]

Its really uncomfortable viewing, its the matter of fact way he talks about killing his own daughter and the game playing.

Dominic West is very good.

[southeastastra]

god i can't face watching this. now i understand why my mil isn't answering her phone she loves a good serial killer

[ImperialBlether]

About him being straightforward - I remember at the time that he was like that - as though he thought anyone with any sense would agree with him.

[MrsSnoops]

Imperial - how do you know that? About him being straightforward?

[southeastastra]

did fred west really kill himself inside or did someone else do it for him?

[festi]

how would you know that?

[Mrsfluff]

I put it on as there was anything else I fancied & I live in Gloucester. Must say it is very chilling, but good. He's so matter of fact about things, you wouldn't believe he was talking about killing his own child

[ImperialBlether]

I remember the case. There was a hell of a lot written about him at the time. He would talk about what he'd done as though he was quite reasonable.

[MrsSnoops]

She's pretty horrible too.

[ImperialBlether]

I hope it didn't sound as though I knew him!

[festi]

eww rose is vile.

[MyGoldfishIsEvil]

Why does the appropriate adult have a duty of confidentiality?

[festi]

it did imperial, like you had some insider knowledge

[ImperialBlether]

She was vile. They were both absolutely sex mad and didn't care who they abused. I remember when he killed himself and she was so angry - absolutely furious - when she realised he'd left her to be tried on her own.
