Kimberley - who is watching?

[Ewe]

Interesting premise, looking forward to seeing how unbiased the doc is.

In the article I read I think it was summed up quite well, along the lines of, it is very sad that she has had an awful childhood but there are sensible ways to try and move past that and having children isn't one of them.

She lives locally to me!

I can't say I feel sorry for her, once is a mistake, twice possibly but 3 times? no way she knew there was a chance she would fall pregnant again and still chose not to use protection...apparently she was on the depo jab.

That little boy doesn't stand a chance really, dad was violent now mum is violent.

As she said "I am 24 and have 3 kids by 3 men" and thats whose fault????

She keeps going down the same road though doesn't she - that's why they are stepping in, keeping an eye, giving her anger management and positive parenting courses. The rest has to be up to her and that level of violence in front of her kids is so so wrong on so many levels. What else do they do Suzi?

She was using contraception for this pregnancy. Happens to the best of us (thinking of DS conceived when I was on pill!)

I do feel very sorry for her. That doesn't mean that I necessarily think her children should stay with her, though - I can't judge on that one way or another, we're certainly not going to get a full enough picture from a documentary shot by a friend of hers - just making the point that social services' job is not to judge whether she 'deserves' her children, it's about making the best decisions for the children.

It is horribly bleak, though. Some kids just don't stand a chance (I'm talking about both mother and son here).

am i alone then in thinking she could be far worse

no one else mutter under their breath at their 3 year old?

Awww

Suzy, I'm with you.
I feel for her

I think most people feel sorry for her - I feel more sorry for her kids though tbh.

Suzi, I agree. Lucky there were no cameras in our house yesterday!

I feel for her too - she's doing a pretty good job in the circumstances I think. Poor girl - she needs a mum herself I think.

cute baby girl

she is gorgeous!

Anthony seems great. I hope she can hang to him.

moving in with him would be a huge mistake.

i agree with expat, i dont think she should move in with him (yet)

She is a beautiful baby girl
Kimberley has had no examples to follow, she is so lacking in confidence and self esteem.

hope it works out for them all

Same here suzi. DS has been bellowed at on several occasions .

Regardless of how sorry we all feel for her if she doesn't get support and try to change she is in danger of trapping her children into the same life/lifestyle she has had.

I don't think anyone's debating that three year olds can test your patience - does everyone think it's fine to call them 'fucking little shit' and expose them to that level of violence though? This isn't just a run of the mill situation (at least I blooming well hope it isn't) - her kids are classed at risk for a reason and one of them has been removed from her because of that. She needs better help and no child should have to live with perpetual violence between parents imho.
