There must be some really sick people about.

I tend not to believe what I read in the Mirror so here's another link

The degree of premeditation in terms of obtaining and fixing and tensioning a suitable wire doesn't bear thinking about, and elevates this way beyond 'mindless violence'.

And to place it at head height indicates an intention to kill or maim.

I see this in stark contrast to throwing concrete blocks at vehicles, where I have clung to the assumption that vehicles are the targets and occupants are unconsidered.

I take your points (but I suspect you replied in the wrong thread)

Me? Nope.

Story appeared in Waily and Express papers as well. StUN also carried this.

Yes - sick people around and it mirrors handy's thread concerning those idiots who hurl missiles from bridges. Same sick yobs and sick mindset - and the law makes excuses for them.


It's not the same as Cameron suggesting "hugging the hoodies".. though in essence he was suggesting what we do when we foster.. firm, strict but caring, draconian - without appearing darconian - discipline

However, this incident ..... justice demands they be locked up. Common sense also demands that they are made to understand why this was a seriously dangerous wrong and that they understand why society would demand a jail term. Had she been on a moped, quadbike or motorbike - this could have decapitated her. Her little boy is traumatised and I would think the youngsters playing football and tennis also traumatised by this - as the lady herself.

This poor lady is now scarred for life. She could have died horribly as a result of this.

I would urge those who did this to search their consciences - and own up.

I would also remind them and their parents that what goes around comes around as well. Natural justice sometimes gets more than even






Since I do foster and have fostered some HARD cases in the past - I can quite honestly say from personal experience (apologies to some if "anecdotal" - but personal experience means more than words on some page of a book somehow.. as it is REAL LIFE AS EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND and supplies the raw data for statistics and "peer reviewed investigations" (and I have experience of this as an exxperienced medic whose work has been published in medical journals in the past as well.) I do not post to "show off" - but to make it clear that actual experience carries weights

From the experience of fostering ... I would say that firm discipline and a set of strong and straightforward rules - but applied in a friendly but firm manner - and any threatened, but no undermining nor ridiculing punishment for indiscipline carried out - and by this I mean you punish without stripping dignity and self-confidence - then you begin to make an impression and command some respect from these youngsters.

If you keep making excuses - then they see themselves as "victims" and they continue to make others "pay for their woes".

Oh.. I guess it's the same old "spare the rod and spoil the child" per the Scriptures.

A truly awful story. Some really sick people do inhabit the earth. My thoughts are with this lady. She's disfigured for life as a result of this - and I would like people to just think what this means for any woman of any age. I hope the persons responsible are caught quickly and that true justice is served.


The persons who did this - I consider this type to be seriously and extremely dangerous to society. I hope they are caught very soon.

My thoughts are with the lady and her little boy. I wish them well, the very best outcome for them - and hope they see some justice served on their behalf.
