Time to time I browse the BBC news site just to see what's going on ...

I just can't fathom some people ...

Sean Buckley guilty of murdering toddler Finley Thomas

Ben Butler - The exonorated father who went on to kill (Ellie Butler).
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-36516384

Murdering someone else - as in Jo Cox - is terrible enough, but they are usually for a cause/belief .. however wrong ..
Killing a child/Toddler who is in your care?
I can't start to describe the way it makes me feel ... :(

Social services often get a raw deal and I'd want to complain if they questioned us over our 1yo frequent bruises (legs are black and blue!) - but sometimes I just wish they could remove these inocent children from the hands of undeserving adults - or just remove the undeserving adults.

    That about covers it. Ellie Butler should never have gone back to her parents, the school was saying they were powerless to do anything because of the way he had been exonerated by the family court.
