    Having a child around this age this is just an absolute horror story to read, heartbreaking for the family of the young lad who had recently lost another child in tragic circumstances.

    The well was just 25cm in diameter. Having been in Spain before I think there health and safety with big drops is absolutely appalling ie little or no fencing to stop people falling to what could be a fatal injury.

    Glad I'm not the only one who thought of the Simpsons when they heard of this.

    I thought of the parents and what absolute horror they must be going thru. You have to be a right heartless or thick **** to joke about something like this.

    Anyone joking about that is one sick puppy.

    Hope the kid is ok, doesn’t sound good.

    Could happen to anyone. Have had geologists bore on land of mine before and areas were always secured off well. To think an aul metal cap thrown on top of a hazard as lethal as that boggles the mind!

    Nope, this episode was the first thing that came to mind. Merely shows the influence the Simpsons has had on people my age.

    No need to be mad, friend.

    I've lived in Spain for a bit. There are places with unprotected 5m drops adjacent to a public footpath.

    I used to pass a couple on my way home from work thinking a small child or even someone with a few drinks just needs to make a small misjudgment to be killed.

    It's ridiculous.

    The bit about screaming and then silence is heartbreaking

    It’s hard to imagine the feelings that would initially cause

    To them it's only some foreign kid. Different matter if it happened here, the Mods would actually bother to put manners on them.

    Better show my outrage at the Simpsons link so everyone can see how outraged I am.

    People virtue signalling on an obscure irish web forum will definitely help some poor kid stuck in a well in Spain

    If you dont know how it just goes to show your morally bankrupt.

    What did you expect to achieve with this thread? It's a terrible thing and I hope he's found ok but you can't really expect solemn reverence when you post something online.

    Holy fcuk that's a horrible story. Can only imagine what the parents are going through. Losing a kid like that would probably break me. Hope there's a happy ending to this story, but not looking likely :(

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    I immediately thought of the Simpsons.

    I suppose I am a heartless monster for remembering a classic episode of a popular show.

    No, but maybe a little human decency?

    Funny how people are different. I immediately thought of the parents.

    One could do with thinking before speaking, lest one put one puts one's foot in one's mouth.

    Who's joking about it?

    Are you talking about a link to clips from a cartoon where there are some similarities?

    To be fair any article I've seen about this has had The Simpsons underneath it. So your not that special.
