I go along with Cynthia and Tec, especially having some 'second-hand knowledge' regarding autism in children and young adults. |

Thanks for replies, I am still mulling it over :-( |

While discussing similar apparently ‘Feral’ children, our views swayed between “They should be locked up and the key thrown away” to “What are ‘we’ doing to our children that locking them up seems the only way to go?” |

I've just had a look at the article and some of the comments Supercrutch. |

The way I read the article was that the failure to punish the child just made him commit worse and worst crimes..... |

I still don't feel that dishing out your own justice would make anything better for either the victim or perpetrator. |

I'd prefer the law to deal with it..but given the choice of no punishment because the law doesn't allow for it or my own justice..I'd take my own justice if I had to....rather than none at all. |

How would it make anything better though surely that is just an adult doing something to a child that the child is being condemned for. |

I have a 12 yr old daughter and I have to admit that somewhat skews my thinking regarding this because if there was no come back should SHE be harmed I would make DAMN SURE i harmed him if the law wasn't adequate which appears to be the case...sorry but there it is. |

I don't know what help and consideration his victims are getting but I sincerely hope they are getting what they need and more. I also hope that somehow this very damaged child gets the help he needs. |

I was shocked when, as a Learning support asistant in a Secondary school, many years ago, that, in the first term, I found 10 children who should have been 'statemented' at primary school. When it reached 10, I was told to stop. |

I feel for his victims and hope they are given more than a fraction of the care and consideration he is being given...... |

Yes I agree that the child should know that actions have consequences and I also feel frustrated that there seemed to be no help available for the child which would have also helped his victims because they would have seen something being done. |

Ok ready to be shot here...but I just see some of those comments being made out of frustration that a CHILD can commit sexual crimes and yet there is no reasonable punishment available...it frustrates me too. |

There is no lawful justice that can be served, **this is the law in his case**,,,,,,justice for this boy is getting the best for him,,,,,, and that isnt a beating senseless with a bat or a death kicking. |

Robert, it is not a normal reaction for me. |

"Terminating" the child, suggesting he 'top himself' and saying he needs the "sh*te" kicked out of him is a normal reaction? |

Robert | Report | 4 Jan 2013 22:49 |
its just normal reactions, people are feeling in this country right now, because justice is not being served |
