Re: So it seems they have daniels killer
 

they obviously have good information - they've foudn 3 human bones in the search site.

this is obviously not acting on a maybe although we dont know yet if it is daniel

Re: So it seems they have daniels killer
 

yep it's looking promising. I hope it is him so that he can RIP and the parents can grieve knowing he's finally been laid to rest:fingerscrossed:

Re: So it seems they have daniels killer
 

If the remains are of young Daniel,and i hope they are for the sake of Bruce and Denise Morcombe, may you now RIP and my heart goes out to the family.

Re: So it seems they have daniels killer
 

DNA confirms it is Daniel...poor little fella...if it was my boy how could I cope...those poor people.

The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Yep, just seen it on twitter, confirmation I think most people expected.
May his soul rest in peace.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Terribly sad but must be a relief for his parents to finally know. I cannot imagine having my son missing for so long without knowing where he is.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

It sounds very wrong to say thank **** for that but it's got to be a help to the family. :(

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

At last his family know the answer. RIP Daniel.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

and they also confirmed they impounded a car at bribie 2 months ago - a 4WD that matches the description given at the inquest as being seen at that time when Daniel went missing.

They obviously have an informant - either the perpetrator or someone else- who has directed them to this 12x6M location to find the body.

And as for P7 - served his time - my a**e. When does the 6 year old he nearly killed get to be free of it? Paedophilia is not something that is rehabilitatable (new word). they have proven this time and time again - I just cant see why these men arent chemically castrated - when someone has 100% committed a crime like this I think we just throw away the key. IMHO there is no place in society for these people.

somehow I reckon I would get rejected for jury service on this one...

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

It would seem that this came about through clever police work and not info from an informant. This article says that "The key search area, concentrated to less than 10sq m, was staked out the weekend Cowan was charged on August 13."

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I remember from a prog I saw in the UK that chemical castration doesn't stop the mental excitement. It's essentially not very helpful. :(

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

It's probably more helpful for the parents of their victims;):ohmy:

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

What about chemical or physical castration and lobotomy? Would that do the trick?

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

You think? Why, if it doesn't work? :(

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I think a bullet to the brain would probably do the trick.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

A hell of a lot cheaper as well.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Or once proven 100% guilty and without doubt, an injection in the arm - but not before the parents get to beat the living shit out of the filthy barstewards:thumbup:

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

When my daughter was attacked I'd have happily castrated the bloke with a rusty razor blade. She was his 4th victim in 10 years. May not cure his pedophilia but he wouldn't be sticking his manhood into another underage victim.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I believe, and not wanting to gross you out, but the pedo being interviewed said that chemical castration was useless because then fingers and other objects would do the same thing. So you see, castration is pointless. Obviously the pain and domination in any way possible is the link to gratification.

I'm so sorry about your daughter being attacked. I would want to kill anyone who hurt my children too.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I didn't want to kill him:eek: Just remove his testicles with something suitable blunt & painful:sneaky:

I was under the impression that the testosterone produced the sexual urges in males, therefore removing the source of testosterone production reduced the libido. No libido no urge to re-offend :confused:

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Anna Bligh has apparently offered for the Qld state to pay for Daniel's funeral

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/...rcombe-funeral

Whilst Daniel's death is absolutly tragic, so is the death of any murdered child, or a child with cancer or a life threatening illness or under tragic circumstances such as the 11 year old who got eaten by a croc during the floods in far north Qld.....

What makes Daniel's death more important than any other kid:blink:

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

That's unbelievable. As you say, its tragic, but ............
What about the children who died in the floods in January?

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I think it's probably as a mark of respect to Daniel's parents and the effort they've put in over the past eight years to not only find their son, but to raise awareness and educate parents and children in the hope that they can save other children that may be at risk. Daniel's death is no more tragic than that of any other child, but he symbolises every parents worst fear and all of us grieve with his family.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

That's the theory. But it doesn't work. Abusing children isn't just about sex. Kicks happen in the brain, not just in the libido. :(

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Sexual assault/abuse are not about sex. It's about power.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Mark of respect? I see it as favoritism and another stupid *rule for one* borne out of emotional clap trap politician arse licking popularity poll shite:thumbdown::frown:

What happened to Daniel is tragic and I defy anyone to find anyone who doesn't feel the same, we can only begin to imagine what those poor parents have gone through. No one can ever understand unless they've been through it. But a friggin funeral paid for by the state when THOUSANDS of kids die year in year out, of tragic circumstances/ And like Polly said, what about those poor kids who drowned during the floods, one kid lost his life alongside his mother, and the family also found themselves homeless to boot.....

Where was the bleedin state funeral offers then? It's disgusting, in fact it's bloody disgraceful cos stupid Anna Bligh and her mates know people will feel mean saying so even though it's obviously one sided and offered as a popularity contest for the vulgar Labour party. They sure as hell have gone down in my estimation for pulling this fast trick:thumbdown:

Daniels parents have done what most parents would do if their child went missing. They never gave up hope and made people aware so that if there was a glimmer of hope he was alive, he'd be found. Or alternatively someone somewhere may just remember something. That's no justification for the state paying for the funeral. None at all. Daniels parents are quite well off by all account..

I'll say it again.

What about all the other kids:(

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Whilst I'm not as fired up about it as you are, I totally agree. It's obscene.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Actually i'm not fired up - it don't affect me:lol:

...but I'm miffed enough to speak up and be counted.

It's been done for alterior motives and kids are not treated with the same respect :sneaky:and that's pished me right off:frown::thumbdown:

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you've said there Walt. What a kick in the teeth for parents of children whose disappearance or death has not been so widely publicised. If I were in that situation I would tell the premier thanks, but no thanks and make the funeral private with no media/politicians/gawkers. They have endured years of publicity and should be able to say goodbye to their son in private.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Have the family accepted? I hope they don't. For all the reasons already stated. It just doesn't feel right (and hope that's how the family feel too).

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

your joking right?

its simply a polictical statement by a party about to be ousted

"look at us we care"

i think not

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Oh joy, trip back to the dark ages coming up.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

Not sure what you mean there mate?:confused:

Why is it the dark ages when people can see through the political media?

The new age should be about equity and honesty not political soundbites mate:thumbdown:

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

by making this "kind offer" the worst bit to my mind is that now, the family wont have a hope in hell of putting their son to rest peacefully, the media circus will be in full swing, imagine going through the greaving process where every minute detail will be recorded much much more now that bligh and co are trying to show that "they care" how totally insensative on their part, using the death of a kiddie to make a polictical point, so i`m sorry you think i`m some kind of cave dweller but the polictal partys invloved disgust me by their actions

steve

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

That's the way I see it. Bligh and co would be looking to gain points election-wise, the media would love it, and I just think its wrong for politics to be involved in something like this. Plus, what a slap in the face to other parents - almost like saying "your child wasn't media-worthy enough, this one is" .

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

There's now a FB page dedicated to people wanting the child to have a state funeral. WTF has it got to do with anyone other than the parents and his siblings? How dare outsiders think that just because it was a newsworthy story, they have a right to dictate this shit?

Hope to god the parents tell everyone to bog off.

I'm starting to sound like Sonly :o:lol:

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I'm sure the Morcombe's are strong enough to graciously refuse any offers they receive that they don't want to take up. But at least the offers have been made. From watching this story closely from day one, I feel that the family know that without the help from Media and the Queensland public in general, they may never have found the evidence to find out what happened to their son and therefore have maintained a public profile to show their appreciation.

While offering so much of themselves to the public, they have still been able to maintain privacy for themselves and their other two boys. Their marriage and family seems to have remained rock solid throughout a journey that could have torn a lot of families apart. I think that they will have already gone through their initial grieving process by the time the funeral date arrives. In their press conference on Monday they said that they won't be making any decisions about a funeral because it could be months or over a year away. They hope that they will be able to hold it on the 8th anniversary of Daniels disappearance, but can't set that in concrete until the search and forensic testing concludes.

I remember on the first anniversary of Daniel's disappearance, everyone in Queensland was asked to leave their front light on for an hour and they launched the Song for Daniel, as well as a documentary about the investigation. Something that always sticks in my mind about that night was that I looked outside and saw every light in my neighbourhood on. Another was the story told by a female police officer about how on the date of Daniel and Bradley's 14th birthday (a couple of weeks after the abduction) the police had been at the Morcombe home. Apparently every year on the boys' birthdays Denise would light all three boys christening candles, on that occasion, all three were alight and then suddenly Daniels just went out for no reason. Denise Morcombe turned to the police and said "He's gone".

I don't think we should be second guessing political intent or fairness to other parents that have lost children, I think we should be focusing on finally getting a positive outcome in this case and celebrating the life of a teenage boy who we all feel we know, having seen those beautiful blue eyes so often for the last eight years.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

:) I wasn't very clear...it was in reply/reference to "by a party about to be ousted "...I know the LNP have to get back in one day but it will take a long time for me to trust them after what they did to Qld....I still see signs of the racism and stupidity they harbour in their ranks, even these days....I know Labor has idiots too but not to the same scale in leading positions.

Re: The Daniel Morcombe thread
 

I agree mate. All idiots:thumbdown:
