Andy do donate to the NSPCC.
I have for a long time, but there are certain situation that require more than money. This would appear to be one of them.
Ok point taken about the name calling but you opening lines in your first reply were a little self rightious.
"Here we go again - trying to outdo each other with our moral outrage."
It is not trying to out do eachother, these are statements of anger and outrage at a social and legal system that offers little or no protection to the most vunarable in society.
I would be a social worker but I would never be able to keep my temper with people that have children yet have no interest in them other than the money they can get by having them and those who just don't care.
I know they are over worked but there are certain areas of society that need to me kept an eye on more than others.
The elderly, the young and so on.
It would seem that no matter how much money is put in or how many lessons they say they have learned, nothing changes so maybe it is time to change the rules so we can endevour to stop this from happening again and those who do this are punished properly.
If people don't rant then nothing gets done. It will just take a hell of a lot of us to stand up and rant loud and long until some one with a brain listens and decides the time has come to make a set of rules as to what makes a human elligable to have human rights and draw lines that when crossed, will result in the loss of those rights. If you want to be treated like a human being then behave like one.
Life is, as stated the most precious thing we have, the right to have children is a an honor, there for those who see fit to take that life in the ways discribed in these stories should have their rights removed,
