Appropriate Adult

[ImperialBlether]

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

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

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!

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

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).

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

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

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

This is really grim. But glued!

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

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.

may not need a full assesment, I should say.

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.

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

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.

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

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

how would you know that?

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

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.

She's pretty horrible too.

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

eww rose is vile.

Why does the appropriate adult have a duty of confidentiality?

it did imperial, like you had some insider knowledge

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.
