It's tragic...they have released the man and women they were holding, you can't comprehend how someone can do anything like that 

That's such a heartbreaking story, isn't it?     God help that family.

Congrats btw, Fluffs (I thought you'd appreciate the Eats Shoots and Leaves bit )

its proper sh!t The choice to turn off that kids life support machine must have been real tough

lots of kids died this weekend.

the fire in Derby, the bloke in a boat that went over a weir, the mum  with post natal depression.

all pretty depressin  stuff

I read most stories on here with my own family in my thoughts. There are 4 kids and 3 adults here and fire is one of my worst fears. To think someone would do it on purpose with kids in the house is unthinkable. 

Yes.... dreadful

Thank you,

I'm surprised anyone remembers the 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' thing!

when my kids were young Cags, that was my worst fear...we bought a bigger house with attic bedrooms and I couldn't wait to sell it and move out. A horrible death for those poor children and to try and get your head around someone doing it deliberately  

So true, whether you've had kids or not, the thought of having to make that decision about a family member is just too hard to comprehend.
