    Good. If and when he goes to prison he'll be attacked mercilessly and often for his actions for many years.

    That's a given. Apparently when he was taken to prison the other day he was jeered and screamed at by the other inmates.

    I wasn't allowed outside my front garden alone until I was 12.


    Thats horrible, unless you lived in Dublin city centre or something.

    I was all over my neighbour hood on the outskirts of Waterford city as a kid. It was a mix of city/country side. Was great craic altogether and I have the greatest memories of it. I was let roam once I was like 6 or 7 and even at an earlier age I was allowed to go to the shop etc.

    Now a days its different. My little brother never leaves the house and has been glued to electronic forms of entertainment since he was about 6 (he's now 12). I feel sorry for him as this will be the main memories of his childhood. Even today you don't see kids outside on christmas day anymore. They say its not as safe anymore either, and they're probably right.

    I could not read this without crying. Should a sad story.
    I did wonder why am eight year old would be left un anaccompanied to go to camp.

    I remember growing up we'd wonder of for hours playing and basic blaggarding, report home to get fed and be on our merry way again. I now have a 9 yr old and he strictly is not allowed leave the street.

    Have you or would you let an 8 yr old make their own way to camps / school/ clubs etc

    If there was a God, then why would he allow this to happen?
    This is why I am an Atheist.

    Well Christians believe that God gives people free will. God is not meant to be a puppeteer pulling everyones strings. Unless something amazingly good happens they start saying it was a miracle and that god intervened.
