I have come into contact over the years with a few ex collegues who have suffered from severe depression and PTSS. They are great parents and have temporary bouts of very very low feelings (verging on suicidal).

Are you saying that these people should have their children taken away on the remote offchance that things get so bad they do something harmful?

These people need help....unfortunately its not very forthcoming from the MOD, but thats another story..

Every case is different..and to judge a case by a few snippets read in a paper/on line does not give an insight into the TRUE mental state of the 'patient', 'perpetrator' or whatever you want to call him..

To say you would kick him in the balls, is utterly stupid. Obviously words of a very very lucky person somewhat removed from the realities of life outside his own little bubble


and what difference does it make if Spugsy has kids or not?

What an inappropriate comment...having spent my entire childhood in various orphanages and foster homes, I do know a little about child abuse. Yes, my "kick him in the balls" remark may have been frivolous but surely you cannot tell me that such a punishment is severe enough. In the MOD guys probably get kicked in the balls for considerably less...they certainly did where I was brought up. Anyway, no hard feelings.

Im sorry to hear about that. If you indeed did spend your childhood in orphanages and foster holmes then you obviously have come into contact with people with phsycological 'issues' hence my further surprise at your comments....


Its not about severity, its just innappropriate...

Maybe back in the stone ages...


I think we all agree however that both cases mentioned here are truly tragic for everyone involved

AA...I think that enough has been said on this sensitive topic so let us agree to disagree. Have a nice weekend.

Spugsy

yup, lets end this thread now. you have a good 'un lionheart, certainly nothing on here is worth falling out about.

Unless we get around to talking about football and how Kevin Keegan will probably run away (again) rather than stay to help the Toon Army survive in the premiership...another thread, perhaps?

Spugsy
