Nonsense. Social Services do not and should not investigate every child injured inside or outside a house who attends A&E.

my daughter broke both her wrists recently, we didn't see the social... and i am surprised as she is proper accident prone and has visited A&E or out of hours a lot!!
 
Are you suggesting that you are taking even higher moral ground than our current lofty perch?


I'm not qualified to judge the judgemental. Just to pass comment on the level of their unqualified righteous indignation.

Leaving her was wrong, to stand it judgement and hint at another darker alternative version of events is nonsense.
 
Do you?

I have worked in medicine for 25 years including A&E and paediatrics.

No but my better half does - and in child services as well

And you wouldn't believe the amount of neglected and abused children there are out there currently

She is regularly having to go to L & D and MK hospital to see children that have been hurt

Let's hope the authorities now investigating this matter haven't disregarded an "alternative version" out of hand as well or it'll be another potentially botched investigation into the same incident!!

isn't that just making the point though, social services are up to their eyes and beyond in repeatable consistent cases and I find it unbelievable they would entertain a one off 'incident' where a child split her head open and daddy was on the property. The Doctors/nursing staff would also have to alert Social services first and have 'reason' to do so.
 
O

Maybe they should come and ask you. You do seem to be well informed...oh wait it's a gut feeling:o. They look shifty them mcanns :o
 
It's using a blanket policy of its better to see as many as possible in fear of missing one.
 
I feel somewhat reassured with the standards of golfers.

There are so many that have never in any way shape or form ever done anything to put their children's well being at risk.

Glad I play golf if that's one of the qualities

Certainly never done it by choice which is the point that people are making that seems to be missed

People aren't perfect , parents make mistakes as they grow up , I turned my bag once and my little lad started to walk out the back door ! I didn't decide to do that

The McCanns decided by their own free will to leave their kids alone whilst they went for dinner ( every night )

You won't find many on here that will do that

That doesn't mean they are claiming to be perfect they just show a lot more common sense than what the McCanns did
 
When Maddie woke up crying the night before with her brother and then asked her mother where she was the following morning why didn't they decide that at least one of them would stay in I case the poor thing woke upset again looking for her parents. Probably because going out and drinking was more important. Bad parenting IMO

That's what really struck me about the interview. Plus Maddy was very tired and pale that day - still they went out and left her/them. Then when he checked he noticed the bedroom door was wider open than he left it...so what did he do...go back to the tapas bar.

They've paid a ridiculously huge price for their negligence and selfishness but for me that's what there chosen course of action was.

Correct - a really really bad lack of common sense, but on here they have pretty much been painted as bad as the abductor.

No one has claimed they did right to leave the kids but I would be willing to bet that hundreds of young kids are left in houses whilst parents pop out for various reasons - luckily most don't get abducted!
 
It's using a blanket policy of its better to see as many as possible in fear of missing one.

But a blanket policy is not appropriate (nor legal) as a social services interrogation is not a neutral act. People cannot be implicitly accused of something without reasonable grounds.

Maybe Luton is a hotbed for this sort of thing.

That still doesn't make it right though does it ?

That still means that they must share some of the blame for what happened that night

Their actions indirectly assisted the child going missing

That's not saying it's all their fault and they are as bad as the abductor ( and i honestly don't see many suggesting they are ) but I have seen posters trying to justify their actions that night with one person saying it was "understandable"

Parents should do everything in their powe to protect their children - that I believe is a duty of being a parent - that night the McCanns failed in that duty. They failed to protect their daughter

There is no accusation or implication and not always an interrogation - it's a fact funding mission and a judgement finding with most of the time nothing more happening with trust being placed in parents

Wow. Nonsense? Really? Wish I knew as much as you Ethan. Thay big brain of yours correcting folks along the way.
Guess what big boy? Nonsense or not THATS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HIM. After he has been quizzed up here in Jockland I'm sure he will take solace in tge fact it was really all nonsense, Ethan from GM Forum said so....

For a guy that found this thread distasteful you seem to be trying to stir it up.

Sorry if you don't like it. Your right to do so. Hate to see facts get in the way of your rant. It is simply the case that SS do not investigate every injured child. If you believe that they do, please provide evidence. Big brain not needed to know that, although some common sense would help.

By the way putting stuff in CAPITALS does not make a point any more meaningful.
