Man threatens to "punch the baby out" of heavily pregnant girlfriend in the North

Foxhound38

Real charmer this one, isn't he?

5 sprogs by the age of 25 to boot, obviously nobody told him where the local pharmacy is. What has to go wrong in a persons life to make them behave like that? :mad:

did you witness this?

edit: nevermind didn't see the link

Sheep Lover

"Grrrr. .. If I got my hands on him... I'd. .. I'd. .. give him a piece of my mind... the.. the scoundrel"

Or words to that effect.

That's that discussion finished for another 'news' dump.

No, and it probably did my car a power of good that I didn't because the next thing I'd have done is ran him over with it... repeatedly.

Looks a decent enough sort in the photo.

Maybe he was just eager for its arrival?

The lawyer said Woods, a father of five children, had grown up in a household where violence was "the norm" which, while not an excuse, did explain his offending.

Shur didn't he have a rough upbringing judge, it wasn't his fault :rolleyes:

Oh, you're hilarious.

Why Is this any more Offensive than saying for example. "I will punch the face off you" or "slap you good looking" ?

Should have read the article.......

What a vicious little cnut.

She'll probably be waiting for him when he gets out. For every guy from the dregs of the pile like this, theres a girl with so little confidence that she thinks he'll be a suitable partner for her.

At least he got jail time. Down here you need about 20 convictions for that to happen.

Because it's worse???

At least there it's too adults who will most likely recover...to stop someone who pregnant from breathing can do severe damage to a baby very quickly I would imagine???

Jokes about punching babies out of their mothers don't do it for me.

He's just misunderstood. And all those other women he abused probably deserved it.

I played "I bet I can guess which newspaper this is from". I won.

I did not read the article, I assumed it was some random comment.

kylith

he had not caused serious injury to anyone so was not dangerous.

Although a probation officer assessed Woods as posing a serious danger to the public, the judge said he did not agree with that assessment

Woods, who smiled and laughed as he left the dock in handcuffs

Threats are nothing unless backed with action. Irrelevant story and not attention worthy to this extent.

Not baby. Foetus.

incredible or not

Maybe technically fetus, but she was 'heavily' pregnant, so viable.

Picking on a fetus looks about his level alright.

You see, I'm pro choice. Saying foetus helps me justify this position to myself.

Four months later the couple attended an interview with Social Services, but when they got home Woods started a row, claiming that she "didn't stand up for him during the meeting by denying there was violence in the relationship".

On that evening he held her against her will and attacked her a number of times.

And she has had five sprogs with this lowlife?

No, it just says he has five children, and has previous convictions for violence towards partners.

Hope she doesn't go back to him when he gets out. Can you imagine the life that poor baby would have with that disgusting "man" as its father. He could end up killing her and her baby.

The article refers to her as his ex-partner. I hope she stays that way.
