JudyJudyJudy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 1 hour ago, JFK-1 said: You have to regard that as a type of euphemism in a generation who grew up being slapped and belted by teachers and cops too, I was slapped by a cop as a 17 year old in a police office. Needing a good slap was a common everyday term. I don't have any kids but if I did, if I were the father of this girl say, no I wouldn't be slapping her. But that aside, in general child raising, I feel there's a detrimental for want of a better term over coddling in many ways. And again, you can take this from a non parent view. I see people treating kids like toddlers almost long after they're not toddlers anymore. They will let them do pretty much anything they want without even raising their voice or changing the tone, from an almost pleading tone. Acting up throwing tantrums etc. they try to plead with them to stop. Now I don't know about you, but if I had been raised like that I would have been a nightmare beyond belief, and i'm pretty confident a goodly number of those I grew up with would have been the same. And the thing is most of that generation grew up to be non violent, so what's driving the current knife and ned culture which didn't exist to the degree it became after I and others were growing up in that environment. It began with the following generation. Now there were violent neighbourhoods/ scemes, But not the more widespread general neddery I saw later. Now there can be multiple factors in that too I suppose, TV and cinema are massively different while computer games didn't exit beyond maybe pong. I believe TV and film can feed violence into a society and I didn't always believe that even when Mary Whitehouse was telling me it would happen. I was wrong, she was right. And the internet in general can most certainly feed all manner of mischievous and malevolent behaviour on a daily basis, I was a witness to what at the time was described by the British press as the worlds first internet rage attack. One guy in a chatroom I frequented tracked down another guy he had been feuding with for months, knocked on his door, when he opened it he was attacked with I think it was a baseball bat and maybe a machete, the attacker brought a mate. That was in London or the outskirts. A good posting but I’ll pick up on some points later as I’m busy just now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in the police I would be tempted to let someone know on the fly. My daughter and all of her pals were out looking for her from yesterday afternoon. They were all in tears when news got through to them that she was found. Everyone down here knows who it is now, absolute staggering that this happened. For an area pretty low on crime it's been huge news in the town with hundreds out all night searching the town. Thankfully she is alive but no thanks to the person that had taken her, suspect this will traumatise the family forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbank2 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 All I'm going to say in that I am VERY local to where the arrest has been made. The individual is not a known "nonse" or sex offender or anything else. He/she has a degree of notoriety within the village. The individual has been living as a "woman" for the last few years, and anyone who has been into the shop would have seen that for themselves. "They" certainly had a sometimes brusque manner with customers but was pleasant enough to neighbours. "They" closed the shop very suddenly almost a year ago with a notice in the window that it was for family reasons and would be closed for a year. Lots of speculation as to the reason. "they" (I believe 4) children from previous relationship(s). He/she in under arrest and a forensic team was at the house. This is all easily verifiable fact. Everything else is speculation.
