[Peter_]

As I mentioned earlier in this thread if anyone of us posting in this thread had left their child in similar circumstances and the story was given to the local media who then printed an article in the local paper, we would receive a visit from local Social Services and possibly even put on the at risk register, but because of who he is nothing of the sort will happen.

Double standards anybody?

The should be equality in such matters but all that happens is a convoluted thread talks about the rights and wrongs of who supports which party, politics should have no bearing in such cases.
