Children Died Alone In A House Fire

[Barsel]

Their Mother was a carer for the NHS. What a shame she didn't care for her boys.

Maybe she did care and the pressures of paying the bills and making ends meet pressured her into working long hours?

[LadyCG]

How absolutely awful. Why do things like this always seem to happen before Christmas? :-(

RIP little chaps.

[Barsel]

It wasn't said in that article that the mother left them on their own, and if that is not the case, then I will apologise.

[Redhelen72]

It doesn't say that the mother left them alone - it could have been a babysitter
Perhaps one should wait for more information before jumping to conclusions

[pat2604]

Absolutely nothing would drive me to leaving young children in a house alone. Even if they weren't my own kids.

[anneasquith]

So dreadfully sad . No doubt in time we will know the circumstances.
I feel so awful for the firefighters who attended this tragedy .

[youngmafbog]

For once I am with you Anne. A terrible tragedy, but lets wait on the facts rather than hold a witch hunt.

[Barsel]

Redhelen I realised that after I posted and that is why I said I would apologise if it wasn't the mother.

[Lie-in King]

Whatever the circumstances, it's a heartbreaking tragedy.

RIP lads.

Maybe ask for the thread to be deleted and start again in a more measured, sympathetic way.

[pat2604]

Probably right Douglas. And it's true we don't know if it was the mother who left them alone as Red says.

[pat2604]

But someone left them alone. Perhaps the heading could be changed. The comments could remain.

[anneasquith]

No. Leave the thread as is, else we will sanitising * posts* we don’t like .

[pat2604]

Perhaps Barsel might be happier if her comment above the link could be removed though Anne.

[anneasquith]

Well that’s up to barsel surely?

[pat2604]

Yes, thats what I meant too, but didn't say!

[pat2604]

I often wish we could have an option to edit our posts! Especially as I make so many mistakes!!

[burlyshirley]

Never mind Barsel, maybe all the do-gooders moaning on here will apologise to YOU when they find out it is the mother, who is still in custody !!!

[dannyk13]

Shirley, at the moment accusing the mother is pure supposition.

[anneasquith]

So sad a tragedy like this causing discord on AB. I’m away .
