Evil : just pure evil :
Mother and ‘boyfriend’ seems to be the common denominator here.
So if they were married it wouldn’t happen, I assume is what you’re implying?
I think he is saying that a dad has a connection to a child, and can protect the child. A home with multiple boyfriends doesn’t offer the same protection, don’t want to speak for him, that is what I think he meant.
If this was their fifth arrest in relation to child abuse, why haven’t they been locked away sooner? Or will this only happen once they’ve killed the girl? There’s something seriously f*cked up in a justice system, where you can abuse your child be arrested for it, and then are allowed to continue as if nothing happened
A child died after her mother poured boiling water on her face, one of the many reasons why I don’t believe in God. If a God can sit back and let that happen then there is absolutely no point in a “God” existing.
Is there a island that we can put all those horrible people on
Japan?
“Is there a island that we can put all those horrible people on”.
Yes, there is an island in Japan known as ‘Battleship Island’. If you google it you will see it would really would be perfect for these evil excuses for parents.
Mother and “boyfriend” seem to be a very common thread in a huge percentage of these cases. Very weak, stupid, compliant and self indulgent women and evil, controlling men. To allow your child to be abused by another is the ultimate betrayal of natural law and all that makes us human. Those women deserve to lose their children without any second chances. There’s a special place in hell for people who would deliberately and maliciously hurt a child. And animals.
We have had far worse cases in Ireland in the last few months.
Where was the father? He was obviously responsible.
She probably met up with him after she was released on bail.
Turn you’re stomach
She should sue she!
Ok that made me laugh.
What about us having to take cod liver oil!
Yeah Donie, along with a punch in the face and a ciggerette burn in your mouth.
Their not short on omega 3 anyway
The poor woman is obviously mentally disturbed and needs our help and sympathy. She was obviously acting under the influence of some evil male. He should be tracked down like a dog, horsewhipped and imprisoned for life.
The flipping Catholic Church has a lot to answer for!
The defence, “She came for it and by jaysus she got it!”
have your say
