Apologies If This Has Been Mentioned Before

but can you believe this?? What herb will they use if one of kids got meningitis, god forbid.

They've even set up a Just Giving page for folk to donate money to them!
Unbelievable.

Bathy....barking mad.

They're cuckoo and it's a shame that so much empathis has been put on the one year old having a wee... it wasn't about that . We're all aware that children have accidents .
They say they'd resort to contemporary medicine if necessary . At what point do they deem it necessary ? When it's almost too late ?
I have no time for people who foist their ideology onto their children , just doesn't cut it with me .

[bednobs]

everyparent the whole world foists their ideology on thier children

They can bring their children up as they want as far as I am concerned, but they are reported to be doing it on benefits. Wouldn't work if we all did that.

I spent my teenage years walking around the local town in barefeet when I was at college.

Sun cream does not protect you from cancer it also does not stop you getting burned!

If that is how they want to raise their kids it is up to them - not very nice calling them dirty.

If the couple (or either one of them ) are claiming State Benefits and not fulfilling the conditions I am sure the Authorities will be on the case as they are now in the public eye.

I'm only aware of what bit I have read of them.

[ummmm]

As I said in the other thread. My aunt was a bit of a hippy and took her daughter out of school and went travelling with her, home schooled her in a carvanette as they traveled round Europe.

When it comes to medicine. I think they think they'll take the natural approach until one of the kids gets really ill.

My kids are vaccinated but that didn't stop my son getting mumps.

[Islay]

Not all kids are vaccinated - I'm not because my uncle had elipesy and apparently the vaccinations used back then had a high risk.

I'm OK (I think)

[ummmm]

My kids primary school wouldn't take un-vaccinated kids on school trips.

"Sharing a link on her Facebook page to a site called fundmytravel, the couple implored strangers for donations to help them move to Costa Rica and live a more eco-friendly life"


When I first read this article, I hadn't realised that they were looking for money. I'm not sure why the TV company thought it was appropriate to give this daft couple air-time to beg.

[Bathsheba]

In agree with hellywelly re the lack of vaccinations, and with Dahlia about the clever marketing.
