Boy 2 falls down 110 metre well in Malaga

Agree AH is the place for freedom of speech, Bad humour jokes and I'm all for that. A bit of craic and a bit of fun.

But you have to draw the line somewhere in what is craic fun,banter or just plain stupid ignorance.

Anyone who thinks a comedy cartoon being posted in relation to this is normal and ok seriously need to wise up.

And people calling for mods to take a look at people who are be threatening ffs. Hope the Mods let it go so we can see who the assholes are.

It's a pity so many people have lost the ability to scroll past things that they find distasteful.

I said the mods should look at the posts.

Are you calling me an asshole?

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.

That's not an excuse to post it in a thread about the almost certain death of a child. The old "My friend" comeback is a nice little nudge I'll give you that it trolling 101. That said it just shows a lack of empathy ...My friend ðŸ™„

I'm in a line of work where I've seen some pretty horrific things. Black humour has kept me and my colleagues sane on many an occasion as a coping mechanism.

The gravity of any situation is however NEVER lost on any of us and a joke in poor taste which can alleviate the gloom of a certain incident is contained within it's own kind of bubble. For that reason we would NEVER repeat some of the stuff we have said outside of that group as the dynamic is not the same.

AH operates on a different level to the rest of boards at times, but you can't hide behind that to justify being a pr1ck about things. There is a big difference between using black humour as described above in a certain moment and posting it online as a permanent record IMHO.

Bad taste IMO but also understandable. It's the lack of recognition that it IS in bad taste that gets me. I just don't get how another person [having been given all the details and time to weigh it up] cannot understand how this reference can be in such poor taste.

Can't be easy trying to perform a rescue when no communications can be got from the boy that gives any indication as to their condition or how best to carry out a rescue.

It's only natural to have and make your own associations, and it in no way means you cannot be equally sympathetic to the victims of this horrible situation.

Do ye not realise how insensitive and frankly sick posting something like that is? Baffling.

For me, there's a line. Its a lot further out than most people's. I like comedians who push the boat.

That said, there are certain things I don't find funny. Anthony Jeselink did a skit on Eric Clapton's son (who died aged 4/5 by falling out of a window of a high rise building) and I thought it was disgustingly bad taste.

Same here - making fun of a two year kid falling down a well and most likely dying is not, in my opinion, good material for "craic" or a laughing matter.

Some people need to be pulled up...

I hope the company who bored the hole and decided not to bother covering it are brought the task in a serious way.

Thoughts & prayers for the unlucky child. Its so sad. Accidents and tragedies happen every second of the day. Thats life. It's tough.

So isn't after hours a place where humour and bad taste jokes/comments can be made. Where every comment doesn't have to be factually correct and serious?

I know all about the easily offended crowd trying to shut down any free speech that they dont agree with, and seeing it in action here is worrying to me, but I deal with it and move on without trying to shame them & make them out to be the most vile people on earth.

I too thought of poor Timmy O'Toole when I read the thread title, and now 'sending our love down a well' is stuck in my head..

Ps. I've got kids and Im not a monster.

Free speech is a 2 way street. I have a right to express disgust at what I consider to be an extremely insensitive post. No one is trying to shut down free speech.

I really feel for the family and the little boy, that story is horrific.

At this stage it is probably a recovery rather than a rescue but parents will be haunted by how he died alone and afraid. It doesn't bear thinking about

Nothing will happen, it's Spain.

Remember this is a country where a train driver that was posting pictures and videos of himself speeding on facebook weeks before he murdered ~80 people by reckless speeding is walking free living on benefits.

Poor family, losing one child is tragic enough but losing two small children in your lifetime is not something any couple should have to ever endure, really hope he makes it

It's wide enough alright. A toddler wouldn't have a hope of supporting their own bodyweight by putting their arms out etc...

When I said 'oh well' that honestly had nothing to do with a well, and yet the headcase went ahead and threatened me.

After Hours has gone to the dogs what a pit it has become

No not because of the people making jokes although some would see their humour in bad taste this place seems to be now infected with people unable to take a joke and who are offended by almost everything.

Maybe go and look for attention and have the lols elsewhere other than a thread about a possibly dead two year old child.

Negligent parenting.

Now discuss that aspect. I doubt the "Are U OK Hun" and like and share brigade will want to discuss the elephant in the room.

Having lost a child in similar circumstances, the subject of Negligent parenting should be looked at by the authorities.

retro:electro · 15-01-2019 9:07pm

Imagine complaining how “gone to the dogs” after hours is cos you can’t make fun of the possible death of a baby. Seriously, imagine this thread being about your child? Wouldn’t you want to rip the heads off certain posters? Absolute rotters on here.

Tears in my eyes reading his mother post on facebook

In Spain this week, Julen’s parents, are praying for his older brother to watch over him from heaven.

“Oliver, don’t forget your brother, Julen,” his mother wrote on social media, “You know we’ve been waiting for him for many hours. I know you protect him a lot, my little King.”

Later, she posted another picture of a sleeping baby: “If it’s true that there’s a God up there,” she wrote, “help him please.

“Hold on Julen.”
