Protecting our Children, Part 2

[Lilka]

Thought I'd start a new thread because the other one was so big

Anyone else going to be watching?

to you mean to appear in the program MrsDV?

Poor woman. She's a victim. Shame she can't or won't get away from him.

FAS baby?

This story is making me sad already, the poor mother needs so much help let alone what is needed for the baby.

Good grief. What an awful situation.

Yes never. Last week I was a bit dubious about the couple being able to give proper informed consent but these two, particularly the mother, seem unaware of what is going on at all.

She very poorly woman and its very sad but how can she look after a baby?

So this baby might have suffered?

great - even the security men don't want to go in! what hope for any child born to this couple

Who would want to be that woman knocking on that door?
Not me.

police have taken the dog... surely that is good

am wondering how 'informed' their consent is re the cameras given the state they are in

I would not harm my fucking kids!

this is SO sad

Dont think I can carry on watching this, these people's lives are so tragic. It makes me feel like I have left such a sheltered life.

Hmmm quadbikes that will make all the difference

Obviously drugs too!

he is clearly off his face!!
I want to buy my kids a quad bike! You dont have carpet or a bed but yeah a quad bike is what a baby needs.

I am too shocked to be judgey or anything like that, it's just too sad.

Every now and again I think about retraining as a social worker, but this shows be I couldn't do it.
Love dogs but I'm glad it's gone.

Both couples from last week and this week are former looked after children.

2 cases are not representative as a whole, but everyone who thinks going into care is a wonderous life needs to take note of that.

It isnt all rosey, especially post 18.

Im not knocking the care system or foster carers at all, my mother was a foster carer for many years so I have some experience of the system.

Just wondered if people realise this?

just what could help people like this?
