7 Years !!?? Whereas a man can get Life imprisonment....gender equality at work there huh ?
who said the teachers, other people and HSE social workers did not know that there was wilful neglect here? - a social worker called twice a week but the children said nothing and so were ok? - thats just not good enough.How could the teachers not sense that something was happening? If they were at school, as Birroc stated, its no wonder they were singled out. Headlice, smelly, dirty and not toilet trained? I just don't know how this could have happened.
Sure but your point is an asside. But by being dirty and smelly he is unwashed and in my view a level of neglect is present. Soap and water and a bit of care is cheap.I can understand people being upset by and angry about these events.
But before passing judgement on what you see as the failures of others, you should ask yourself if you actually know that every child in your locality or sphere of acquaintance is safe. Is that dirty smelly child just a typical member of a dirty smelly family, or is he an abused child?
i honestly hope that is the caseIt seems there's alot more to come out about this, on the radio they made constant mention of the legal proceedings which are still ongoing in relation to the case so perhaps many people in the community did notice and speak up at the time.
The very fact that the child is dirty/smelly is neglect in itself. Neglect is abuse. Bad things happen when good people stay silent.I can understand people being upset by and angry about these events.

we pay professionally trained people to see behind these doors. They either do see it and do nothing or can't, either way these professionals are not good enough IMO.
Also who was the "right wing catholic group" who paid her legal fees and why is it a secret?
