I like it how everyone is backing this unfortunate wee fellow's right to a life & serious questions are being asked of everyone,even the top officials in the area are being pressurised to resign over the incident & the Prime Minister commented today too.
Sad thing is that if the earlier problems had been identified & acted upon,the case would not be highlighted & you would have run of the mill Junkie/stupid parents trying to get the child back through a legal process which would force the *parents* to be more responsible as they faced close legal scrutiny to get the kid back,or let the kid go.
It is a tricky situation which must be faced without fear or prejudice by those who are paid fortunes to ensure,in there experience,that such a situation does not repeat itself or be allowed too.
Say the father figure is a wee ****head,he gets beat up by someone & requires facial scaffolding to build up a kicked in face.If he is lying in bed,with a screaming baby beside him,he is going too smash the baby off of a wall to shut it up,it is as simple as that.
My first ever wee pal was murdered before his ninth birthday,he was found in a bin bag with a broken neck in Carentyne.They never found out who did it,but his father,who was always in & out of prison,*never drank again*.
I take Gregor to nursery,you see some parents shuffling around & many times it is the grandparents who care for the kids as the parents are incapable.
You hope that the mother has the ability to overcome herself in order to be some sort of useful individial.
For anyone who hits a kid,it is better for them that a millstone is hung around there neck & they are caste into the deepest ocean.Clamorous & turbulent lives or not.
I often think of my wee buddy,only heard he had been murdered 11 years after he had died as we were both moved from our area.He was cool & looks out for me still.
Wee baby P is a wake up call for everyone,so unfortunate the nation needs one now & again.
Better answers to better questions,creating better people in better societies with better politicians.
