Snippets.......

Body of newborn found at waste recycling plant.......
The poor worker that discovered this baby this morning!
Nothing much is yet known except the police are for now treating it as suspicious.
So many may be thinking the same as myself in cases beforehand where a girl/young woman has been afraid of telling about the pregnancy - gone through with it - go scared and killed the baby then dumped it.

Whatever happened - it is just simply horrible.

Haut de la Garenne - couple will not face charges.......
because of lack of evidence. This is always going to be a difficult one - whilst there is no mistaking that 5 children's bodies have been found there and other evidence - determining what happened and who caused the deaths and other abuse is always going to be difficult this much later on.
Claims of hindering police investigations by island authorities and other insinuations flying back and forth also add problems.
Three people have been charged - one not in relation to the children's home - with offences from indecent assault to rape.

Hit and run - in a shopping mall............
by a mobility scooter - this 5 yr old is lucky to have only suffered bruising.
Police are still looking for the driver/rider.

Although this has nothing to do with the accident above - the statement made by the mother about her children being an 'arms length behind her' reminds me of every time I go into town - seeing so many kids not in sight of their parents - i.e. behind.
Jamie Bulger and many other children were taken because of a few seconds lapse of sight by the parents/carers. A few seconds is all it takes! It is easy for someone to lead a young child away in most cases. Keep your kids where they can be seen!
