I'm Shocked!

Was in a town earlier stood near a woman with a small child.

The woman was effing and blinding and called the child a c**t and s**thead which was bad enough.

She then said she could see why the woman killed her kids (the two little ones found in Manchester earlier this week) and it was the childrens' fault their mother killed them.

What the hell will that poor little lad grow up thinking!!!

Oh jen , that's awful , I too cringe when I hear mums swearing at or around their children , and that is the worst !

[eash]

OMG! That's really bad. The poor lad; the woman should be reported!

[bensmum]

That's awful jen but sadly not that uncommon. I hate it when I hear parents do this.

Hi jen,
you just give up! Ignorance! People bringing kids up who just have'nt got a clue. Their children just don't stand a chance do they! A long time ago I reported a mother for doing exactly the same. The child was actually visibly frightened of her. I can't explain, just intuitively, you knew if this is how she was in public, she could be a lot more cruel behind doors. I described the look of her & told them the school the child went to (small local privately run )& guess what! They new of her!

But just what could you say that would make a positive difference. You would actually be in danger of making the situation worse for the child - people like that mother can never accept that they are wrong and would turn on the child when made to feel guilty and accuse him of being at the root of all the misery in the world.

In this case I think it would be better to turn away and say nothing.

sorry daisy mae ure wrong it could go the other way and make her think???

Hi daisy,
as the result of my call, they promised to keep an eye on the situation. The kid was on the verge of tears. This hppeed so long ago on the school run, but I still remember it!

[puddicat]

Good on you sachs i would have done the same!!!

I have one living next door to me, well actually through the wall from my l/room in the next house, she is a pleasure to live next to I dont think, she's 21 and her wee son is just over 1yr, its heartbreaking listening to it all morning, noon and night and its worse when she has the young ones in drinking, personally i would have to have said something to that idiot, i couldnt have listened and not

[jen78]

Part of me wishes I had said something but I was scared of making it worse for the child as she already seemed to be taking everything out of him and it was in the middle of a manically busy city centre and I had no idea who they were :(

i hate hearing women swear, especialy in front of kids but too actualy direct her abuse at her own kids beggars belief! I despair about how some children are being 'brought up' thes days, 0(
