Paedophile donates 400k to ...girl guides

13-04-2010, 19:04

what do other members think of this ?
is he trying to buy redemtion? or is he genuinely supporting a group dear to his dead wife?
would you accept it knowing what he'd done ?
should the guides accept it ?

A convicted paedophile who raped his own daughter has left Â£400,000 in his will to the Girl Guides.

Like zing said, take the money, the blokes dead anyway. He may as well help someone with his cash.

I'd take it. if they don't take it somebody else will.

budwieser · 13-04-2010, 19:22

Its not as if its dirty money is it.

Gary L · 13-04-2010, 19:25

Just don't give him any acknowledgement for it. that'll tell him something

yeah ..the government

they could accept it ,and then donate it to a charity that deals with rape victims or a support group/s for paedophile victims after all the world association of girl guides and girl scouts (or WAGGGS..had to laugh at that)isn't short of a bob or two

Twisted, ironic humour perhaps?
Or just good old spite (maybe a mixture of both):

Quote:

Forester-Smith left more than Â£1m to charities, including Â£312,291 each to the Macmillan Nurses Cancer Association and Cancer Research UK - but nothing to his daughter.

My dad often used to 'joke' about leaving his worth to the cats and dogs home (so original).

Money is money, if it is going to a good cause and all that?

I think they should accept this money then 'donate' it back to the poor daughter

I was thinking along the same lines.

She wouldnt be very poor if she got Â£400,000.

After what he put her through I doubth if she would want anything belonging to him. She probably just wants to forget he ever existed

Couldn't you say that this is "Blood Money"?

I wouldn't give him the satisfaction (dead or Alive) of taking this money. Taking it would have only helped him possibly free him from the guilt of his crimes (if he ever felt guilt), and if I had a daughter going to this Girl Guids Group I would remover her imeidately.

No, How can it be?
" if I had a daughter going to this Girl Guids Group I would remover her imeidately"
Why?
