I think they need to put themselves in her and her families position. If it was the other way round and one of them had had an unforeseen, unpreventable medical episode behind the wheel would they want them to be in jail or would they want people to show their loved one compassion? I’d bet they’d want the latter and that’s because it’s the right decision.Either that or the prisoners are all really fit.
I feel so sorry for that woman. My friend developed epilepsy in his late 40s with no previous symptoms at all. It's frightening and an accident. No, the families aren't going to get "justice" because it was an accident and nobody was to blame at all. If they can in any way learn to accept that, it might be somehow easier for them to bear than constantly desiring revenge and harbouring (understandable) bitterness.
My dad's first seizure was at work. 15 minutes later he would have been driving home.These were my thoughts as well.
Whilst you CAN develop epilepsy at any point in life, you would be very unlucky for the first sign of this to be a fit you had whilst driving your massive £80k car. I suspect she may well have had some indications prior to this, but chose to ignore them. From a medical POV, all that can be said is she didn't consult a doctor about this issue - but there's no way to know if she had previous symptoms if she doesn't admit to it.
I've dealt with automatism type cases before (which essentially is her defence here) and most of the drivers involved don't have legal representation or even advice and end up saying that they'd felt unwell earlier in the day, or noticed something and were planning to see their dr etc - and basically incriminate themselves. Whereas with her very expensive legal team I'm sure she 'no commented' through the whole police interview, knowing that there wouldn't be enough evidence without that to take any action against her.

Totally agree with this. It’s such a sad story to peddle to young women - that if you’re looking for a low effort way to earn big bucks, all you need to do is degrade yourself (flashing tits, minge and arse) or worse, take part in really risky/dangerous sexual behaviours. Who needs education and aspirations?!I think it is fairly simple to blame Only Fans and the internet. Only Fans paints itself as an 'empowering, entrepreneurial' business model, but really it's gash for cash - women (mainly) flashing their tits, minge and arse, allowing all and sundry to access fairly high level stuff at the click of a finger. Because all the internet 'huns' are on there, it's all seen as aspirational, but it's not, it's sex work, simple as. I do agree there are more complex factors at work but the rise of 'easy' sex work is certainly a factor in all this.
I don’t watch porn but even I could tell this was completely pornified sex, crude and animalistic.sorry but the way they're riding is just like out of a porno, like it's choreographed and follows a script. Porn literally rots people's brains and this is a prime example. You watch so much of something it becomes second nature and even being filmed didn't bother her one bit. Even thinking of doing anything like that would be horrific for a regular woman who's not porn obsessed and hyper-sexualized
I took it to mean that they simply weren’t able to say.Wimbledon crash: I was waiting for the reporter to ask "what questions?" but she never did. It's strange to skirt around it unless they can't say more for legal reasons.
My thoughts keep coming back to this. Clearly the driver of the car is incredibly wealthy. Living in that part of London, sending their child to that school, driving that enormous custom painted luxury car (I have never seen a vehicle like that before in my life).However it's not unusual for the police to make their minds up early on (particularly if a person is wealthy/ has expensive legal representation) and then not put the effort in to find any evidence likely to contradict that scenario.
Weird that event didn't seem to garner that much attention considering it's once in a blue moon that someone goes on a shooting spree in the UK and one of the victims was a three year-old.If anyone remembers the Plymouth / Keyham shooting, there's a documentary on BBC 3 tonight about it
I remember this happening so clearlyGosh, that would be awful. Hope it's not true. I remember there was a lot of people defending him on forums at the time, apparently "baby brain" is a thing and forgetting your baby is not so uncommon? I'm not sure I quite believe that myself but it was just the most tragic of accidents so I can't judge the man.
When I was a teenager in the 70's, my mom and I would take one of my infant nieces in the carriage and walk to the local grocery store. Our dog plus 5 of the neighborhood dogs would accompany us. We would park my niece in the carriage in front of the store, and the 6 dogs would lie in a circle surrounding the baby. We did our shopping, came out and she was there still asleep, and all the pups were still there. There was no way anyone was going to walk off with that baby!I have a friend who did the reverse, they were packing the car up for a night away and the baby was only a few weeks old. They were so concentrated on remembering all the stuff they needed they only noticed when reversing off their drive the car seat wasn’t there. The baby was strapped in and perfectly happy still in the hallway. It was only about a minute they were left but my friend was horrified she could have driven off and left her behind.
If she avoids jail then the sex in the cell prison officer will make a fortune on Only Fans. It's a sad indictment of society to be sure, but the reality is that if the demand wasn't there the site wouldn't exist.The rise of porn and the easy access to it has contributed to Only Fans and the sexualisation of our culture. You can get the most deprived things possible with a quick google search. It’s now being rebranded as ‘sex work’ but it’s neither. It’s prostitution.
I think it’s also sad that the go to comment is ‘thank god the man who found him was genuine and not a *insert here*’. We shouldn’t have to think or feel like this. All us as parents shouldn’t have to feel that way, and would like to hope any person who found a lost child would act in the ‘correct’ wayIt's shocking and disgusting how the default position these days is to avoid taking any responsiblity whatsoever. It happens all the time when things go wrong now, especially serious things. People have become such self-serving cowards.

I was taught my address and phone number when I was very little. I never needed to deploy the information, thankfully, but it's something all parents should do with their kids the moment they are old enough. And I agree with you about police officers, unfortunately.
Doesn't look POC in the pic that the Daily Mail have publishedApparently two POC so won't get named like the white kids who killed James Bulger, so not to make them more of a target inside apparently.
Gosh this is just shocking! As a parent, my mind would go into overdrive about everything that could have happened.This is relevant based on our previous days discussion:
Boy, four, is left behind on nursery trip to wildlife park by staff

This is absolutely shocking! I can hardly believe that 3 adults aren't able to count up to 9! Each adult was presumably responsible for 3 kids - how the fuck did they not miss him? And he's red-headed - even in Scotland red hair stands out.This is relevant based on our previous days discussion:
