[hairymelonwalton]

anyone else going to be watching this. looks like abit of a edge of your seat thriller

The cat isn't called Charlie!!!

But it's still unresolved so what was the point??

And here endeth the lesson in how not to deal with suspected child abuse.

Oh ffs..... Cat is jasper.... So Charlie the kid? Where is he? So many unanswered questions

Fucks sake

Awk ffs! Can't believe that was the end. Jesus Christ of almighty. I stayed up for that (rock and roll lifestyle)

Well that's an hour of my life wasted! Pathetic Channel 4

Random

what a waste of an hour?!!

Messages about the scale of secret child abuse?

Not that great. Was wondering if the other couple were just nosy and over sensitive eg hearing things...

She was 100% right but her weird way of dealing with it gave the parents the chance to cover their tracks. And the little boy slips through the net. That was the point.

Well that was distressing

I started watching but turned over as I hated the way it was filmed.

What was the ending then?

ColdTea I agree

But how Cold did you get child abuse from that?

I needed a more conclusive ending than that

Wtaf??

Was that supposed to be a supernatural thriller or what? What was it supposed to be? Why no answer?

Very uncomfortable viewing. And yes they were fucking insane to go in that house.

I dont get the point of the programme though.

What about the bloody sheet? Did the police have a look at that?

She did not imagine that little boy or the crying.

The little girl was acting out abuse on her bother and the teddy. Classic warning signs.

SuperFly There was another child living there that was never seen. The locked room. Child heard through wall when parents out. Suggests neglect.

Plus the child mimicking adult (made me think of NSPCC 'the shit kids say' advert: doing the 'telling off', adult language being repeated.

Not wanting the kids in 'dad's cupboard' made me wonder what was in there. Rubbish out late at night. Alcohol issues? That isn't child abuse but with other factors it would be a concern.

Bins would been collected ages by then, I think the point was this had been going on over weeks and weeks. Plus the police found no reason to lead them to search the bins.

We can conclude that Charlie is locked in the back bedroom and they can hear him cry.

They should have called the police every time they heard a domestic disturbance, especially when they could hear crying but knew the family were out. Why did they take matters into their own hands?!

They should've put a ladder up to the back bedroom window as Plan A before going in the house which was just plain stupid.

Exactly. Police would have been able to get into the house and discover the child straight away. They shot themselves right in the foot by sneaking in.

But the police woman said they had searched the house.
