    thats brilliant- i saw a newscast about her the other day and her mother was in bits

    who was the bloke? and why was she hidden in a bed?:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭Tha Gopher


    What exactly is a divan bed?

    Heres a question. Who is the worse parent

    a- Shannons. Mother of 7 kids by 5 dads, has the appearance of a bit of an alcoholic/possible drug user

    b- The English hippy woman in India who left her 15 year old daughter in the care of a man 10 years older while she went travelling across the country

    c- The McCanns

    Id argue the McCanns tbh, yet a and b have come in for more media criticism over the last few days than they ever did. How they have never been charged with (at least) manslaughter due to gross negligence I do not know.


    Having said that, it is the UK. A country which has given these celebrity mother of the year awards to Jordan (she who has a son suffering from a multitude of illness likely caused by drinking during pregnancy), Kerry Katona (you see better mothers fall out of the pub at midnight on child benefit day) and...well....probably some other sh1t candidates.

    God! That's brilliant! Wonder what happened to her though during these weeks.
    This news must give the McCann's some hope.

    Yep, they should check under their beds too!

    And the suitcases.

    Anybody see the extended ITV thingy earlier?

    I dont have the words.

    If a randomer cries in an estate and there is no camera around to see them, do they make a sound?

    At least now he'll get a proper nights sleep without all that banging.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 682 ✭✭✭Bros123


    The child looks as rough as sandpaper.Well at least now she is free and can look forward to spending time with her mother and her sisters dad,and her brothers dad,and her other brothers dad,and her other sisters dad and the other dad as well.
    How lovely for her to have such an "extended" family to return from under a (MUST have been quite large) bed.

    I know this will sound very cynical, but what if this was a scam to drum up money.... look at the money the mccanns had donated after maddie went missing. perhaps the stepdad thought it would be an easy way to have large sums of money literally thrown at them to search for the missing child. speculation I know,but the protection order adds a very sinister twist to the tale....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭niceirishfella


    I wonder now can the police but all their resources back into the search for SHERGAR!:D

    Bollix, autism IS NOT caused by drinking during pregnancy, if Jordan had been drinking during pregnancy Harvey would have been born suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome which he was not.

    He has another medical condition which is genetic

    Uh huhhh.

    She was drinking heavily when having the kid. It would be a pretty big coincidence if it was not partly to blame.

    Harvey suffers from septo optic dysplasia which does not have links to drinking during pregnancy etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septo-optic_dysplasia#Causes

    We shall have to agree to disagree that alcohol has not got one thing to do with the kids apparently numerous problems.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭niceirishfella


    Apparently the guy arrested is an uncle of the kids step father...........

    there was a pic of him on skynews today. The media always manage to get pics of the "accused" in case like this that depicts them as pedo's or social degenerates.....

    yeah, that was the first thing someone said to me when they heard anout the story. is it usual in cases like this that the kid isn't returned to the family straight away?

    Yeah, well your typical bloke does not go around kidnapping kids I suppose. But there is something very odd behind all of this me thinks . . . .

    Finally a bit of good news. The world has been horrible as of late. I hope she's ok.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭niceirishfella


    The latest is the kid been taken into care.

    A good thing imho.....as the mother does'nt look like she can take care of herself let alone a kid like Shannon.

    You need a licence to have a dog but not to have kids ehhhhhhh..................

    Apparently, according to to SkyNews - the neighbors heard a child laughing in the abductors flat.
