    Sitting in the hospital. Bored but really relieved that he is going to be ok. I didnt really think I lived in that bad an area or that it happens to others. Jesus I hate scumbags

    How old is he? Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

    Do you have someone there with you?

    He's lucky he was sitting in the hospital at the time.

    So sorry to hear that. Hope he's ok. Scumbags are where you least expect them. Hope you're not alone in there.

    What didn't you think happens to others? Living in a bad neighborhood?

    People get stabbed, the area is not always a factor.

    We need more information than that? What age is he? How was he stabbed, unprovoked?

    Glad he is ok though

    Sorry to hear that OP.

    Was having a drink earlier in a bar around Camden Street (Dublin). Saw three young lads drinking bottles of beer walking down the street. One pulls out a screwdriver and tucks it back into his jocks.

    What do you do in that situation? If there were a Garda around I'd have said something, but this is the city centre at 5pm, those lads would be gone in 5 mins. Kind of maddening you know some young lad is going to get that in the stomach some night, maybe not tonight, and you can't do anything about it.

    Not on boards though in fairness, not when your family member is in hospital :cool:

    Ah I know. Just always think these things happen to other people. the usual scumbags..looking for smokes then started on a few of them. He was really lucky he ran away and a woman helped them and rang the gaurds.

    Well he/she has already said that he's going to be ok. Imagine being in a waiting room on your own, with your thoughts racing - OP is probably just looking for some reassurance.

    None, I know I wouldn't be of a mindset to be stuck on a public forum. Considering this also may lead to a criminal case then its not overly advisable for the OP to be on here since his/her son was the victim.

    Sorry to hear that OP and hopefully he makes a quick recovery. Scum who live by the blade will die by the blade, and his attacker will hopefully find himself on the recieving end of one very soon.

    Wow. Someone's son got stabbed and within only a few posts, some holier-than-thou smart-arse c**t has already jumped in to judge the f**k out of someone. Usually takes at least two pages before that kinda s***e starts happening, no? Pathetic.

    Well. Now all that's dealt with, are you up for a bit of chat OP? Help pass the time? What hospital are you in?

    Tweeting in the ambulance on the way to the hospital would be one thing but posting on a forum while in the waiting room knowing everything was gonna be ok is fine.

    And the first thing the Gardai will do is ask the public if they seen anything, its not gonna be any great secret. Only talking about ongoing court cases are frowned upon on here.

    Nasty tbh.

    Op is probably just looking for company. I think she/he probably feels a bit alone in the world at the moment.

    OP, I'm glad he'll be okay. Look after yourself too.

    And if you understand the legal system you will know that any discussions even pre court case, IF there is going to be one, may prejudice the case. Legals have plenty of ways to use threads like this, has happened in the past in other legal case.
