Or maybe I just haven't been exposed to enough children.

If he was smart enough to get up and turn on the taps how come he couldn't get over the gate? If he had he could have stayed up all night watching telly and informed the proper authorities at leisure. That would have been impressive

Suppose you could send out all the rich folks kids to do the fighting in the trenchs ,that's if you can find enough draftt dodgers .:D

Fighting in the trenches?

Did i wake up in 1914 this morning?

Could not agree more. Scum of the earth people like that! Poor kid. Although could have been the best thing that ever happened to him in some ways, after all it got him away from his biological parents and that in itself will probably give him a better shot at life.

Yeah +1

i think that there are alot of people who dont deserve kids, some of them get their act together .. but those who dont get their act together shouldnt keep their kids.
used to know like 6 kids all aged 5-12 ish nd already u could see that they were a little messed up bcos their mum was a drug addict, they've moved now and are in dublin being fostered and do get to see their mum sometimes but im sure they are happy being fosterd together!

To paraphrase Homer Simpson. When I heard that a kid was left home alone I thought it would be fun and exciting, like that movie... Spaceballs, but instead it was painful and annoying like that movie Home Alone.

Pish posh. We always require some proletariat. Who else would we shake our canes menacingly at?

Doesnt sending her to jail mean she's now leaving the kid alone for 9 months instead of just one night?

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was put up for adoption and now, aged four, has started school.

the poor little divil might have forgotton it by now, since he was two at the time and hes now four, but it might be impossible to forget trauma like that whatever your age. At least he was saved unlike other poor babies in the news recently that have died of neglect, cruelty or starvation. 9 months is a joke, an insult to children. having a child myself i cant comprehend how people treat innocent little babies like that, theres no such thing as a perfect parent but jesus how could you live with yourself

Yeah I did poetry in the Junior Cert too. Siegfried Sassoon and all that. With a name like Siegfried how did the Brits not cop that he was just a German spreading anti-war poems to demoralise the troops.

..........

9mths, 18mths.. does it matter? She wont be getting the kid back, and rightly so. Selfish little cnut.

Does this mean you think the child should be given back to that yolk after her stint in jail?

but discuss what exactly? anyone who reads the story will think pretty much the same thing, the title of the thread says it all "some pretty sick **** out there". i don't understand how posting a horrible story like this leads to any kind of real discussion except for everyone to give the same horrified reply or make jokes?

i'm all up for discussion, but some things i find unnecessary

Don't like it?
Don't read it.
Thanks for playing.

He actually is contributing (in a way). He quotes himself, it's his way of doing a pighead (that's copy pighead not make love to the head of a pig).

It's just Javaboy's lazy way of posting in the style of Pighead. Javaboy writes his posts as normal and then wraps them in quote tags making it a 3rd person post.

i think i just cracked one morning watching the news before work when the reporter announced breaking news that some toddler had been killed when his mum had been pushing him in his pram along the path and just been hit by a car. no other details, just the bare bones of the tragic death of some unknown child. i don't understand the need for that kind of news and tragedy vulture media, it grinds my gears as peter griffin would say.

They're in the business of selling advertising... they know we'll sit for hours watching horrible shít like we're rubber-necking a car crash... so really they're just giving us what we want.

There's no end of horrible shít happening in the world every second of the day... there just aren't enough cameras and well-groomed news reporters.
I'm sure if we really tried we could hear about thousands of shocking personal tragedies from around the world every single day.
Just because the media decides to latch on to one particular story, am I supposed to care more about that one than any of the others?
On what merits have they brought this story to my attention over any others?
I think it's all so futile... yes, the world is full of negligent, greedy, violent morons and sick, poor and dying people... what the hell am I supposed to do about it apart from shaking my head and thinking "Ooh isn't it terrible business altogether"?
What's the purpose?
I'm quite convinced we're already not seeing even half the horrible shít that went on in the world today... so how much more buried in the sand will our heads be if we ignore the select handful of personal tragedies the media has decided to bring us?
At what point have we fulfilled our "shocking story" quota?

A mother who left her two-year-old son home alone so she could spend a weekend partying has been jailed for at least nine months.
Kelly Tollerton's son was caged in the kitchen by a baby gate and had to rummage in rubbish bags for food "like a dog"...

...The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was put up for adoption and now, aged four, has started school.

YAY!

Thats pretty sick. If they couldnt give a shyte about the child, is it too much to hand her over to someone who could love her?

So many couples cannot have children, then faced to hear things like that. Sickening stuff.

Indeed ,.Think we become so numbed and immune when we see these terrible things happening but still , it's hard to believe people have that much cruelty in them .It just totally flys in the face of all that is right and human .
