6year old boy slashed to death..........

Horrible. A 6year old boy was slashed to death in his bed, by a man looking after him, while his father was working nights. The father found his sons body the next morning in his bed.....he had been slashed around the body and back. The "person" who committed this dreadful acy is now been held under the Mental Health act-i presume this means he wont be eligible to stand trial for murder - absolutely disgusting.

Well, I'm new to AB and so I don't know any of you yet but reading this post I can see there are a fair few "varied" opinions about!!! All I wanted to say was that if anyone touched my child then I wouldn''t rest until I'd seen justice done, and if the courts couldn't do that (and in this day and age it's highly unlikely, thanks to all the PC do-gooders fannying about) then I'd take the law into my own hands. And while we're about it, what's so wrong with an eye for an eye - if it's good enough for the son of God then it's good enough for me!!

Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord - or do you just pick the bits of scripture that suit you?

And while I'm about it ladymariner, the eye for an eye thing was in Exodus. Jesus referred to it in his Sermon on the Mount and said that instead of this, his followers should turn the other check. So I'm afraid that it wasn't good enough for the son of God. You are probably getting confused with Jesus saying if youe eye causes you to sin it is better to pluck it out.
