Just catching up on all the reporting by the media.

Basically Suella Braverman was right all along - homelessness and living in tents IS a lifestyle choice šŸ„“

I didnā€™t think I could feel anymore disgusted by this pair, but reading about how they let down those kids at the contact centre did it. The pair of them should have been sterilised. They donā€™t deserve to be parents and the ease with which she kept getting pregnant seems like a cruel joke. Selfish scumbags. šŸ˜¢

There would be absolutely no need to attend the court hearing in person. If anything, showing up and leaving their baby behind would just make them look bad. They were offered a video link. Attending in person wouldn't do anything that a video link wouldn't do. They're just entitled fuckers who do as they please.

In terms of their lifestyle.. letā€™s not forget all those alcohol bottles found in their shoppping bag upon arrest. Somebody mentioned binge drinking, I think this is very likely.
I just canā€™t see how they could be found not guilty with all of this. This whole trial is such a waste of money, they should have pleaded guilty a long long time ago.

I think drugs very much feature in their past, particularly hers- probably in a party girl fashion- disastrous for her mental health but unlikely to be a serious physical addiction.

But I donā€™t think itā€™s really relevant to the case here. It seems incredibly unlikely they were using drugs at any point in committing this crime.

Itā€™s a good point about them concealing the pregnancy but wouldnā€™t they just not arrange to be there at that time? Rather than not turning up? Iā€™ve no idea how these things work. Nor what the duck was going through their fucked up minds. Idiots.
None of it makes sense. He could have gone, saying she was ill.

I think they had some fanciful notion of ā€˜provingā€™ they could parent Victoria, yet even after she died they donā€™t see that they are absolutely incapable - for some reason - of keeping a child safe.

Itā€™s so sad. They got the help with the first baby and seemed to turn it around, then they threw it all away.

Yes, but I wonder whatā€™s fuelling that?
Plenty of Freemen types live in communes, or are individual hermits.
Also plenty of them believe drugs should be legal.
I think a lot of people get into it from Facebook groups about SS stealing children, which we know CM was involved in.

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.
I hope they all have happy, stable, loving adoptive families now. ā™„

Am 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.
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 sleeping šŸ˜“)

They didn't even try to behave like caring parents. It was a case of one-upmanship against SS using a baby as collateral.

I can see this as a game...Playing cat and mouse with SS and wallowing in their notoriety as renegade "naturalists". Don't dare to challenge our right to be "alternative".

I didnā€™t realise the age gap between them. Weird to think she was just a baby when he was convinced of being a rapist

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.
Not complying with authority - ensuring they have their say, and show their dedicationā€¦ensuring they look the judge in the eye? Canā€™t go online as their tin foil hats interfere with the 5g? 30 burner mobiles in a bag!

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.
What a fabulous comment. I really enjoyed reading that, you write beautifully.

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?

Must be drug use somewhere here, how do these two meet in their day to day lives.

cant believe they concealed the first pregnancy and arrived at the hospital with fake names, and then took a social worker to a tent where they had a few things but hardly prepped for the first baby. Are they just .... unintelligent? What makes them think thats ok./acceptable for a newborn. During MGs police interview and listening to the transcripts he sounds a bit slow no?

This is one of those things that needs explaining! I hope theyā€™re asked why they had 30 phones.

Her father is about as good a choice as they are themselves!

drug dealing phones maybe?
Like who where they planning on calling if they didnt want anyone to know were they where
or where they were going. Maybe CM ditched a phone each time she had to contact the trust for more dosh and they stockpiled for those phone calls.
Having Money doesnt always mean happiness but it provides choices. Most trustafarians who go down this route usually get fed up of it after a few years as they mature or indeed think of having a family of their own and go back to living a comfortable lifestyle, CM doesnt seem to have matured at all with age, quite the opposite. Still though she used the trust to provide them with what they needed to run away as in cash, car, airbnbs etc albeit with no planning in place at all. Genuine homeless people do not have that choice.
