None of it makes sense. He could have gone, saying she was ill.Itās a good point about them concealing the pregnancy but wouldnāt they just not arrange to be there at that time? Rather than not turning up? Iāve no idea how these things work. Nor what the duck was going through their fucked up minds. Idiots.
I think a lot of people get into it from Facebook groups about SS stealing children, which we know CM was involved in.Yes, but I wonder whatās fuelling that?
Plenty of Freemen types live in communes, or are individual hermits.
Also plenty of them believe drugs should be legal.
I hope they all have happy, stable, loving adoptive families now.Oh those poor kids. Imagine you're 4, you're living away from your parents (who are tit, but you're only 4 so don't understand that and love them and are attached to them and miss them) you're taken to a contact centre, maybe by some random social worker you've never met, but hopefully by your foster carer, and your parents don't even turn up to see you. And you have to wait another week which is a lifetime for you. You have to go to school, and learn and socialise, and mask all your emotions. You probably have to be brave for your siblings. Counting down the days until you see them again.
Poor little kids.
It's horrible. My little boy is 4 and in reception and he's the sweetest little person I've ever had the pleasure to meet. He's also about to get a MASSIVE CUDDLE (not too massive though, he's sleepingAm I right in thinking that child FF was born in 2017? Meaning that they'd only be 4 or 5 when they understood enough to be able to say "mummy and daddy cancelled again"
I know SS deal with cases like this (and worse) all the time, but it's just heartbreaking to think of a child that age (either just started in Reception or about to) having to deal with that.
They didn't even try to behave like caring parents. It was a case of one-upmanship against SS using a baby as collateral.None of it makes sense. He could have gone, saying she was ill.
I think they had some fanciful notion of āprovingā they could parent Victoria, yet even after she died they donāt see that they are absolutely incapable - for some reason - of keeping a child safe.
Itās so sad. They got the help with the first baby and seemed to turn it around, then they threw it all away.
I think sheās paranoidI think a lot of people get into it from Facebook groups about SS stealing children, which we know CM was involved in.
Not complying with authority - ensuring they have their say, and show their dedicationā¦ensuring they look the judge in the eye? Canāt go online as their tin foil hats interfere with the 5g? 30 burner mobiles in a bag!I wonder if there's proof that they were in fact present in court for this hearing? I doubt it after all this time but I could be doing them a disfavour. Just seems out of character for them to want to comply with any authority.
What a fabulous comment. I really enjoyed reading that, you write beautifully.This.
Was friends with a girl in college who was much the same way, very frugal and 'alternative', got with guys from a working class background with no education, dabbled in everything new age and also a Indian cult that her mother, who had never worked in her life, and was bored with an empty nest, got heavily involved in. Took weeks off in termtime in Uni to go sit in a filthy ashram in India - which they had zero cultural connection to - waiting for an audience with this shitbag guru who did magic tricks and doled out cheap trinkets. Five years after college she's been through a 'move to France, live in a nice house in the best part of town with a new car and be an artist' period, funded by a trust fund she never mentioned in college, then got bored of that and married a reasonably wealthy guy, had kids, has never worked a single day.
Never underestimate the capacity of the rich and confortable to go slumming, in multiple ways - sexually, culturally, spiritually and financially. It's practically expected for a period, like when the Amish throw out their offspring for Rumspringa, which is a sneaky way to let them discover just how out of their depth they are in the non-Amish world and return to the fold, relieved to be back in the familiar. Or see the old folk song, the Raggle Taggle Gypsy O - it's an old, old trope.
Common People - the song - is pretty much a Spotter's Guide to the fascination a lot of rich people have with the Unfortunates, and their capacity to go exploring until it gets uncomfortable and then cut the experiment short to return to the comforts and social expectations of their own social milieu. "If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah"
I think CM was less rebelling against her family than simply being a bit of a chip of the old block - slumming, bleeping about doing whatever she wanted, 'finding herself' in dumb cults, dating the Wholly Unsuitable, and it all got a bit out of control. because of some fatal character flaw, possibly inherited. Her father's own behaviour seems very Constance. They clearly have enough money to support nonsense whims of any kind, even the kind the father indulged himself in. It's just once CM got involved with SS, the money stopped working as a get out of trouble free card. Once SS are on a family's scent, you can't buy them off, or opt out, unlike pretty much any other kind of trouble.
This is one of those things that needs explaining! I hope theyāre asked why they had 30 phones.30 burner mobiles in a bag
Her father is about as good a choice as they are themselves!![]()
Constance Marten warned about sleeping in tent with her other baby, court told
Jurors were told Marten and Gordonās four other children had been taken into care after a judge concluded an instance of domestic violence had taken placewww.independent.co.uk
This reports Constances dad previously initiating proceedings for wardship of the children. I wonder what happened with that.
My understanding of wardship is children remain with the parents but their care etc is overseen by the courts? Would this mean court decides where they live or would her dad make sure they are looked after and he the decision maker etc but remain with her? Anyone any experience of this?
drug dealing phones maybe?This is one of those things that needs explaining! I hope theyāre asked why they had 30 phones.
