A Room With A View...

To be honest, as a young child I was frequently in all those situations (substitute fields for jungle and rubber plantations filled with menacing rubber tappers and poisonous snakes), never did me no harm!

One of the few lucky ones by the sound of it.

Exactly my point.
My childhood too....Apart from the menacing.rubber tappers and the poisonous snakes.
But at the wrong moment, at the wrong time and with the horribly wrong person lurking about.
That would be the outcome for most disappeared,.murdered child.

LOL, no, we all played out all the time, hardly ever saw our parents, we had idyllic happy childhoods, if not entirely risk free..  The only child I knew who came to harm died on the rugby pitch.

My middle son aged four used to run off down the kampong on his own.  He had a whale of a time.

The worst harm I ever came to was getting bitten by red ants.  I also fell off a horse and broke my arm but that was my mother’s fault for fulfilling her own ambition to ride horses via her reluctant child.  Ooops, distancing!

Whoops, Me Too.  His name is Julian.

Who calls their horse Julian?

I dunno but the horse I fell off was called John Willy, which used to provoke a snigger.

By the time the family, and public, had learned of the unlocked patio doors the narrative of the abductor climbing through the window had taken hold and the unlocked patio doors were relegated to a footnote in the story. The jemmied shutters also had the added advantage of proving that Madelene did wake and wander, a scenario I don’t think the family would be happy about either.

Oh really?   

So where did Madeleine get the jemmy from ?   


Tough little girl, our Madeleine.

Children can also come to harm at home while your back is turned, or while you are distracted, by a knock at the door, a pan on the boil, a telephone call, a vosit to the toilet.

This is just an excuse to divert from the McCanns disgraceful descision, but it seems to strengthen the point that leaving babies alone in the apartment can be VERY,VERY Dangerous!

They weren't babies.  You seem to be wanting to pull heartstrings in the last few posts.

More pointless pedantry

OK OK what about the heartstrings bit.  Are you going to prove there are no strings in one's heart. Or worse!

You seem to want to challenge what I write about and the way I write about it. Seriously, it isn't your job.  It is beginning to feel like you want to bully/intimidate me.  Back off, because I don't do 'the victim thing' -don't read my posts if you are so offended or cannot understand what I am saying.

No need for a grown man to get upset over what is essentially, words typed on a forum.
