What she did was wrong but she has done her time.

Should she not now be allowed to move on?

[andy-hughes]

divebuddy - People are allowed to serve their punishment and then try and live a better life.

[naomi24]

What does the 'I.P.U' on the bottom of that note mean?

[jackthehat]

1. The Daily Mail have lifted the story from the Daily Mirror....so they won't be paying her anything.
2. The Daily Mirror are using the 'reportage' supplied by *a friend*.

There is nothing to suggest that Matthews is not genuinely remorseful and trying to live a good and better life.

[anneasquith]

Why she would court publicly is senseless, go far away from your area get a job, and be a decent member of society, not difficult !!!ll

[youngmafbog]

Got God i am all forgiven, yeah right pull the other one it's got bells on it.

[pixie374]

She only needs forgiveness from her daughter, really. Anything else is just for show.

[Islay]

Annea did you read the story she does live in a new place and she is trying to get a job!

[anneasquith]

I did, and she should be encouraged to stay " in a new place". And get off the pages of the newspaper.

[jackthehat]

In appearing in an newspaper, it doesn't necessarily follow that *you* are the one who released the story.

If you read it properly, you'll find that it is a (some) friend who is speaking...

divebuddy - //Indeed they are Andy. But I feel the world would be a better place if Karen Matthews wasn't in it. //

That's contradiction.

Either people are entitled to a shot at redemption, or they're not.

Or do you have a sliding scale depending how much the crime in question, or the individual committing it offends you?

[andy-hughes]

divebuddy - //Life's full of contradictions, Andy. //

It is, which is why I try to eliminate any of them which effect my views on something, and make it impossible for me to know what I think.

How about you?

[andy-hughes]

divebuddy - ////It is, which is why I try to eliminate any of them which effect my views on something, and make it impossible for me to know what I think. //

Is that a sort of Mr Spock the Vulcan thing. It is not logical and must be eliminated, approach to life. Good luck with that. //

No - it's a simple matter of forming a view, and then not contradicting it in the same post.

I said, people should be allowed to move on and rebuild their lives.

You agreed, and then said the world would be a better place without Karen Mathews in it.

I then pointed out that you can't have it both ways - nothing 'Vulcan' about that!

[andy-hughes]

Fair enough.

the daughter put herself up for fostering and did not want to go to any family member..speaks volumes...
