I don’t like the turn this thread has taken with the girl who’s friends with her to be honest. Yes she committed a serious crime, and I’m not making excuses, but she has served her time and been released. She was an 18 year old girl at the time, and I for one don’t agree with it being constantly dragged up. There’s massive problems in this country with re-offending because it’s so difficult to find accommodation and employment after release, and looking at some of the attitudes on this thread it’s not difficult to see why.
I agree... This has nothing to do with her friend, her kids or anyone else's kids who have been swept up in this , lots of kids have had their hair Permed it's fashion and just as bad as bleach!
Her friend served her time, not ideal to have that on your record but also she is trying to redeem herself, if she sells her paintings for a couple of hundred quid fair play!!
There are some issues with safeguarding but those kids appear to be well looked after, if they don't want to be filmed they back off, they always appear happy too!
It has all turned a bit nasty on here and I fear this will overshadow ALL of the hard work going on trying to get to the bottom of the donations.
