If she is guilty as charged...she will top herself as soon as she is sent down.Good riddance.

All IMO.

Just put her in the same room as the parents for 5 minutes

It always seems more surprising or shocking when a woman is involved in paedophilia

[Robsk II]

That's because of some of the societal values we still hold, which are technically sort of sexist, I suppose - ie women 'should' care more for children, etc. As it happens, I'm glad this case is brought to light because the old stereotype of a grubby mac-wearer needs to be changed. However, it is factual that the vast, vast majority of child abusers are men. the more disturbing thing as far as women guilt is concerned is that many have been aware of male abusers, and done nothing or colluded.

 

One more thing I honestly think everyone should consider and actually have a think about - while there is this huge furore, and perhaps the case seems clear - we have a value in this country, or we should do, that says 'innocent until proven guilty'. I, like most others, just sort of assumed she was, but on reflection, the media and so on is incredibly dangerous in cases lke this. If she is innocent, then the media has been brutally unfair in leading the masses into these assumptions, and on the usual blood-baying witch-hunt and hate campaign, which will ruin a life totally. Don't take this as a defence of her if she is guilty. I would just suggest we should never presume guilt or innocence in the media. We should remain objective as far as possible until the justice system has played its role.

The media can destroy people's lives

 

I read an article a couple of months back regarding the 5 prostitutes murdered in Ipswich. The initial investigation centered around a local man who worked in a supermarket, and apparantely knew 3 of the victims. His whole life was on the front pages of the tabloids, we all assumed this man was a sick pervert

As it turns out, he was totally innocent, however his life was destroyed by the media stories.

 

There was never any front page apologies to the guy, and he's now left to repair his life, whilst being treated for severe depression and anxiety

Well said Robsk and Dicko. It's a part of life that the newspaper media sell on the basis of opinion, rather than fact. They manage to get away with huge fabrications, and are only held accountable by those who can stand up to them. In this day and age, they are an outdated and outmoded medium. And frankly, we could do with the trees.

Why when a man has done this splashed across the front page is the word peadophile, but when it is a woman they are just sex offenders?

That said, on 'taste' grounds, the papers are restraining themselves from publishing the full details of the charges.

 

The court heard allegations that she abused one girl toddler with a toothbrush, another with a pink dildo, and sucked off a little lad.

 

She didn't enter a plea.

And just how is this Saints related?

The Lounge

 

General discussion area for all non saints related topics to be discussed sensibly.

[Robsk II]

It's the lounge, idiot. This doesn't need to be Saints related. Are you going to go through every post ever on all of the other boards putting this same inane drivel?
