Not too sure how this works but will give it a go .
As an Irish girl “ the child “ is a term of endearment, the most important person , has the child got everything, do you need money for the child, here’s£ 50 for clothes for the child, how do I open a bank account for the child etc etc, “ the child “ is precious, never once would he / she be called it, “ the child “ is the next generation, as in all cultures.
never once would any child be physically attacked.
personally I think S B was and is a bully , F S had no grounding to be a mother, you learn these things in life , old story, it takes a village to raise a child.. very true . F S , obviously did not do the right thing, she didn’t know how to , we all know you don’t abuse anyone, but is it nurture or nature .. I wasn’t there but I strongly feel S B is the bad one .
Anyone wondering why B E has not spoke up for S B, is she going to defend F S and tell her story about S B . Just wondering!!
