Is UK 'culture' to blame for child neglect -leading to child suffering?

[G-Unit]

I totally agree with that.

ALL this is the mother's fault.

I don't know about UK culture, but certain UK citizens seem to subscribe to a culture which blames everyone else for their own failings. I find it objectionable that certain people excuse their bad behaviour by saying it's part of 'British culture'.

I'm  a man...and if I saw  a baby unnattended on a hotel floor...I would ask poeple around whose the baby was ...then pick the baby up and take it to reception......not leave it on the floor for an hour..ridiculous

Leaving her baby alone in the hotel room was ridiculous dave, wasn't it ?


Or are you supporting what she did ?

Indeed G-Unit.

It's the not me 'gov mentality.

It sucks.

Priestly got it so right.

[G-Unit]

we don't have any proper evidence the she did leave the bay on the lobby floor...but you are going to jump to your conclusions without evidence.. par for the course

Did she deny it? I'm not relying on something a policeman said two years ago and calling it 'evidence' like some do.

It is acceptable in the uk to leave babies in hotel rooms for 30 mins.....hotels actually promote this

That's not a cite, just one hearsay example.

The case in question happened in the U.S.

What UK culture by the way ?

I think the vast majority of parents would never have done what this woman did.

Have a look at the number of hotels offering baby listening

It's hard to know if this is the Hotel's idea or their perception that some parents want this service, isn't it? This one is clearly not taking full responsibility for the children.

Baby monitoring and baby listening

Watergate Bay Hotel operates a baby monitoring and baby listening service which can also be used at The Beach Hut and Fifteen Cornwall. Responsibility for the child remains with the parents at all times and it is recommended that parents check on their children regularly. Parents are not permitted to leave the hotel grounds when using the service.

The case occurred in the U.S.

Now cite from there.

and this woman , the police officer, did not use any service, she left the child by itself.

An interesting read seemingly less concerned with the welfare of a child than the discovery of a controlled substance during a police search of luggage without a warrant.

The fact that the tablets were in their original container, properly labelled, prescribed by the doctor of the person in whose possession they were discovered ... seems to have carried no weight at all.

It has the potential to become a bit of a cause célèbre if it ever comes to trial ... and I look forward to seeing the CCTV images of the child sitting on the floor for an hour in the hotel foyer while staff manoeuvre heavy suitcases over his head.

In the interim, a British child is in the hands of the New York care system which is in the throes of a class action which alleges it cannot care for its own.
