have people given up being parents?

[jukel123 8,549]

I'm not a religious person, a Catholic education saw to that, but isn't there a quotation from the scriptures something like: "judge not that ye be not judged"? The woman has lost 4 kids, she went to the shop to buy groceries. That's all we know, other than she was a single mother and worked for the NHS as a carer. Let's not attack her for possibly being isolated with little family support. She's suffering enough.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone remember "the wag wife" ?

Older members may remember from their schooldays the women employed by the council to walk the streets during school hours looking for truants.

If they collared you, you were taken home, got a good telling off, told of the horrors of borstal, your parents were threatened with some unspecified punishment, and when dad got home, you most likely got a hiding for "bringing trouble to the house" !

Ahh, the good old days ! !

Cheers.

We had the school board man.

I took up a fair bit of his time as did my pals, the final straw was when he turned up at my house one day when my mum was at work and me and all my pals were sat round there…..we poked a .177 through the letter box and let him have it, right in the bollocks ! Lol 

It was shortly after I’d smashed the schools new BBC b computer and they decide that was my lot, f**k off and don’t come back ! Lol

people do not know how to be a parent.looking at your fecking phone 24/7 when you should be at least checking on kids every once and a while.just look at these dumb fucks outside schools who can not even be bothered to get dressed to pick up their kids ffs.not being able in anyway to tell a child he or she can not do something wtf.schools brainwashing kids into thinking they can do or be anything.allowing pre school kids to kick,punch spit at teachers without even being allowed to say anything other than thank you ffs.what do people think kids will turn out like when the fecking loonies are making the laws up.back in the day if you stepped out of line it was a smack on the back of the head or whatever that taught you not to step over the line.lots of adults are more interested in their xboxes than their kids these days.

The dolling off man, always knew where kids were dolling off school,had a nose for them, hunted them down like Simon wiesenthal with a South American hiding SS officer no escape when he was tracking you, just escape and evade in the woods.

Do you think the dangers were the same mate ?…..maybe they were ?

I don’t know, I know old farts like me tend to have the old rose tinted specs…..kids are exposed to so many dangers now.

As I say, I don’t know…..it’s all just so tragic all the time

It's fecked mate that's how it is here . We have no debts own are own home I run my own business they did there checks they questioned my past but did the CRB checks  .yet a queer couple got fast tracked we only know because Mrs his friends on fb with one of them yet one young couple who couldn't have kids yet could provide a good home who both had good jobs  got knocked backed because of they asked for preference of a white kid only  and not any ethnic ones couldn't make it up 

I can well believe it mate a single mother on my road used to foster teenage lads that she could not control and a mate and his wife because he smoked they were knocked back on fostering.

I can believe it  tats some of the excuses you hear of a joke buddy .and yet they say there crying out for foster homes .I felt for that young couple after talking to them a few times .that's all they wanted and both were professional people in a good area with good jobs .yet I see pond life who don't deserve kids pump out a bag full normally just for benefits or because she can't keep her legs shut

We had a bloke with bowler hat,a red face and and whitish rain coat. I can picture him to this day. I came from a family of nine so the feckr had a season ticket to our house. First we would hide under the table, same as we did for the rent man, but the bugger would look through the window and shout at us. My mam would then reel through what was supposed to be wrong with us,scarlet fever, chicken pox, measles impetigo why and he would write it down and f**k off.

Difference between nipping to the shops and being gone atleast 2 hours mate; she didn't ask anyone to watch the kids either.
