Charlotte Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I don't think that's true. It really is, I was obsessed with it at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendor Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Nice work Sherlock, nothing gets past you. If it was legal I may well be interested but as someone who abides by the law it's not something I'd want to be personally involved in unless the law allowed it in a more controlled way - think public stonings. I'd trip him up and give him a chinese burn though. I don't have any issue with wanting others to do this kind of thing beyond the law though, having said this I wouldn't go out of my way to recruit them for the job. Is that all OK for you? Fine now thankyou. I do like the Chinese burn thing as well. Reminds me of that episode of "Father Ted" when they enlist the services of the convent to help them with their Lent promises.

extendor Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 It really is, I was obsessed with it at the time. IIRC they covered him with paint as well. Very upsetting at the time and emotions ran very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you over it, or would you like these 10 out of date AA batteries I was going to bin? Sounds a risky habit to me, but it takes all sorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why she just can't do with a 'vibrant bunny'!

The Raven Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 OK the jokes about the dead toddler aside.

chris2o2 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Michael - I note that you hope someone else does the deed so can deduce you are not available to do it yourself. Would you do it if you had the opportunity. I would and i'd throw in the kids that were climbing on my supra last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edd_t Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 flipping eck they should just feed him to the croc. how long until they find a copy of Grand Theft Auto at his house and try and blame that like they usually do for anything like this, which is blatently the parents fault for not bringing up their child in a half decent respectful manner.

Tannhauser Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Based on the story linked to: There's no evidence that he was raised by irresponsible parents There's no evidence that he belongs to a section of society CW would like to see sorted out by eugenics Small kids do sh*tty things, because they're thick. Occasionally, if they get the opportunity,they do really murderous things, but it's not always a sign that there is something extraordinarily wrong with them. Seven year olds know right from wrong, but they can't properly empathise. They just don't have the mental apparatus for it - and that's why they can't be held accountable by a court. Quite right they can't touch him. He needs his arse paddled by his parents and a bunch of other punishments a seven-year-old can understand, not institutionalising or being visited by a lynch mob. And whilst I'm on a roll, why is it that every single unpleasant incident reported on here is automatically interpreted as the decline of civilization? Or the breakdown of parenting/law and order. Boys in particular have always murdered animals, from burning ants with magnifying glasses to blowing up frogs with straws. As Orwell put it in his autobiographical 'Coming Up For Air' (1939) The truth is that kids [are]merely savage little animals, except that no animal is a quarter as selfish....Killing things--that's about as near to poetry as a boy gets and as an example: .....After a lot of argument about what to do with them we took the chicks out, had shots at them with stones, and finally stamped on them.There were four of them, and we each had one to stamp on.

Max Headroom Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 If this little kid is allowed to get away with it because he is only 7 and doesn't know better, more fool us!! In a childs development it is around this age that the future moral compass is set, leave it to drift and you can bet your bottom dollar he will be one nasty piece of work in years to come. After this I expect his family will become social pariah's and the "rehabilitation" of this child needs to be swift and total. If he gets away with this, what next?

Ewen Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I got good old smacks when I was a naughty nipper. I remember a particularly naughty episode that warranted a thorough spanking and I asked if the Au Pair could smack me instead. He never smacked me again. Funny, that.
