Sky News

Watching Sky News at the moment and the 3 main stories are the Ipswich prostitute murders, the murdered model and the missing 9 year old girl, my question is why are so many of the prostitutes family venting anger at the murderer instead of trying to help them get off the streets and their drug habits before they were killed, why was the murderer of the model allowed back in this country after being convicted of rape in Australia and does anyone else think the missing 9 year olds family might have something to do with her disapperance?

I have no experience of drugs persoanlly, but it would seem that once a person (whether they be male or female, black or white, working class or upper calss) has started to use heroin, then all they can see is heroin and can look no furthur than their next fix. It tears families apart. We don't know all the past history of these girls but their families may have tried everything they could and everything within their power to put an end to their childs drug habit - to no avail! Turning to prostitutuion is really the only option to assist funding their habit - they couldn't hold down a job in an office! So it goes from bad to worse. The drug changes their brain in a physical way too, do thinking changes, speech becomes dull and slurred and the sense of perception goes out of the window.
For all we know these families may have been to hell and back trying to stop the drug usage but at the end of the day, you can't change what you don't acknowledge and maybe whatever help was offered was kicked back again and again.

As Le Chat intimates, we don;t know wghat the families have tried in the past, to get these girls off the streets and drugs.

We just don't know,

As for Steve Wright, the Aussies were right to deport him back to this country, its our own govermental forces that let this young lady down, with his record, he should have been under close scrutiny from the time he got back.

[weeal]

there are plenty more like him walking amongst us, scary to think that eh, but who's going to babysit these guys, its not really possible

The Austrailians were right to send him back if he commited a crime. it's just a shame we do not excersise the same thing here.
