I thought that about the u16 bit. I was regularly left overnight at 14/15 and went camping in the local fields and all sorts at that age
Everything seemed a lot more innocent then mate. In the 73 cup run we went to all the games apart from Reading away cos our dads wouldn't let us doll off. Rampaging round London for the the final,, great times for 14/15 year olds. Also the camping out from about 10 year old. Wouldn't happen now sadly, too many weirdos knocking about. Sad.
This is a complicated issue but there's one thing I'm 100% sure about ... ... if the parents, as doctors, were asked for advice on leaving 3 babies alone their advice would've been DON'T!!!
Agreed, also it's ok for them to self medicate their children (toddlers) while they go out on the drink....... seemingly. I wonder if it was only Calpol .
It's always been my belief that it was something more, they'd have to be sure the kids wouldn't get up and use a door they were familiar with at the top of a flight of concrete steps. They had been told where 'mummy and daddy' were so would naturally make a beeline if they woke up and were upset ... that's what kids do. I don't believe the parents were responsible for her death but there's a massive reason for their weird behaviour afterwards. If they'd taken drugs from work, and the twins were tested, their entire lifestyle, and that of their friends, would come crashing down. Both being struck off, charged with theft, social services becoming involved because the twins were sedated at such an early age, etc. The parents, and friends, was so strange and that's why people suspected them of some involvement. I believe the parents refused the Portuguese police a blood test on the twins. If that's the case you'd have to ask why.
I was reading something about statistics the other day and it said there is no more weirdos now than there was 50 years ago they are all just on main stream news now.
Probably true mate, social media has a lot to answer to though,gives all sorts of weirdos a platform and a vehicle.
Probably right mate - I was on holiday in Cornwall at 12 (older brother 13 and younger 10) and there was a kid went missing from the site we were on. Never even looked into what happened to her. We were alone in the caravan whilst the parents were at the clubhouse! My Dad's uncle was a copper and he said it was as bad then as it is now, just you never found out about it because there wasn't the media coverage there is nowadays
What?!?!?!?! "German prosecutors are preparing to end their investigation into Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner as they warn probe 'can't go on indefinitely' amid fears he could be freed from jail in days" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...leine-McCann-suspect-Christian-Brueckner.html
I just can't imagine why anyone would do that, ever. If it was my child it still wouldn't have been washed now.
One thing being a cop has taught me is that everyone deals with things differently in times of extreme stress. Just because I would do something or not do something And another person does something completely different doesn’t mean that I’ve dealt with it rightly or wrongly. It just means that my brain has processed a situation and come up with a solution it was happy with at the time. Remember back in the 1980s when two soldiers were lynched and murdered in NI when they took a wrong turn and came across a funeral? I was in the army back then (admittedly hadn’t done a tour of NI at that point). Anyway, the amount of soldiers I served with who said that they would have shot people had they found themselves in that situation was unreal. The reality is that they wouldn’t have known what to do for the best either. As a society we are very good at reviewing a situation in hindsight but useless at dealing with it in real time. This is the same society that then judges, normally through a narrative written by the media, and finds that person guilty. I’m sure you’ll agree with me that the McCanns will judge their actions a lot more harshly than any one of us will and will never be able to justify them.
WTF am I missing here. Madeleine McCann news – latest: Soil from reservoir compared to samples from prime suspect’s van Detectives comparing soil believe they have a good chance of putting main suspect at reservoir days after Maddy vanished. Police combed the remote Barragem do Arade in response to what was vaguely described as “certain tips” about an area the prime suspect in the case, Christian Brueckner, regularly frequented between 2000 and 2017.
