This nursery takes children from 6 weeks and the women that work in the baby room apparently can't hack the pressure Shake Head


If l ever found anyone doing that, then l would be dragging THEM around by their throats.

That sounds like a fair compromise Pesky but, all the same, isn't it sad that parents have to think like that these days?

You just don't know who to trust anymore!

I still cannot comprehend how anyone, man or woman, could find pleasure in abusing young children when placed in their care!!

Apparently, when she appears in Court in the morning, a lot of the mothers are planning to also be there!!


I just cannot comprehend it Hyacinth, how those mothers must be feeling not knowing if one of the children she abused, is yours.

Alot of questions need to be answered.

Hi Hyacinth,

It's horrible feeling as if you have to be so vigilant all the time, as fracas said these people have a habit of putting themselves in a position of trust so they can purposely abuse that trust.

I agree, it seems that nowadays the wise move is not to trust anyone. Frowner

It's the cases like this that make me realise how vulnerable our children are....so much for CRB checks eh?!

I don't get how they can do it either. It's so much beyond my comprehension.

CRB checks are only useful if the person has any convictions. If they have been at this kind of thing for years but never been caught, you cannot blame the CRB check.
We are changing over from CRB's soon anyway to a new system, I have to go to a meeting about it soon to see how we are going to be affected in social care.

Yeah, I know the CRB checks are only useful if the person has a record, it's the fact that they are the only checks available and as a parent you are told that if someone is CRB checked your child is safe that bothers me.

Us parents aren't allowed on school trips to help out, as we haven't been CRB checked, but this woman was allowed as much access to children as she wanted! Disappointed

Plus they take an age to come through.

I'm astonished she managed to get an images tho without anyone else noticing.She must have been pretending to text or make a call at the time.Sick beyond measure Frowner

That's because she was CRB checked. Problem is, as I said, if she had never been caught or suspected of any child abuse, how were they supposed to know she was a danger to kids?

If you want to help out on school trips, your kids school can get you a CRB check for nothing Smiler

Parents can come on a trip at our school,but they would have a member of staff with them.We like to have them with us if we have to divide into groups so we can have two adults with a group(for H and S reasons)

We aren't allowed to go at all.

Not that I'd want to go now, they like their independence, but when they were smaller it would've been nice to be able to help out.

As you said before Mazzy they take an age to come back anyway, by the time they were done the trip would have come and gone. The dinner ladies etc usually help out on the trips here.

I just listening to it too Karma. You can scarcely believe a woman would do something like that but I guess we now have to accept some women abuse. It's some scary crap right there. Frowner

Plus you have to have a new CRB check every time you work with kids even if you;ve got a current one!!!I have one for work and a seperate one for football coaching!!
M
Also just to point out that this woman would have had to have an enhanced CRB check which is
quote:
Enhanced checks are for posts involving a far greater degree of contact with children or vulnerable adults. In general, the type of work will involve regularly caring for, supervising, training or being in sole charge of such people. Examples include a Teacher, Scout or Guide leader. Enhanced checks are also issued for certain statutory purposes such as gaming and lottery licences.

Enhanced checks contain the same information as Standard checks but with the addition of any locally held police force information considered relevant to the job role, by Chief Police Officer(s).


So if she had even been suspected or questioned about any allegations involving kids beforehand, it would have come up in the checks.

And DJ is quite right, she has only been charged at this point, not been to trial and convicted.

Yeah but it must be serious tho, when have they ever released the names in cases like this? It's only ever been when the police have a very very strong case and USUALLY means its only the tip of the iceberg and there's loads more that they cant tell you.

It has sickened me beyond words,i just feel so sad. Frowner

That's a minor detail. Police have all the evidence they need to ensure she's convicted and punished.

Oh well. Then why bother with the trouble and expense of a trial. Ninja

Always useful to keep in mind. I noticed the police warning the press to be careful in their reporting of the case so as not to prejudice it. They must feel they have a strong case.

If they have pictures on a camera phone and other personal media or pictures of her doing the abuse then it's likely to be a strong case.

If the pictures are on a shared PC, or a PC which could possibly be used by others, or even a PC on an unsecured wireless network, then it might not be so easy to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

It sounds from the reporting that this is going to convict but I think the principle of not convicting by media trial is generally a good one.

come on mr dan!
the cops would have to have some good evidence to even think of picking her up for questioning-let alone charging the woman
it gives me the creeps to think that this kind of horrible shit goes on
and queenie-i know what youre saying about me and others saying its worse when a woman does it-but it somehow makes it seem worse, cos you dont think of women being involved in this sort of thing
i know you read about women teachers etc.. having sex with lads of about 14
but these are tiny little kids she was supposed to be caring for and she makes my skin crawl Mad

Agreed. Having said all that though, I hope the sentencing if she is convicted is not derisory.
~Orchid~
This is sickening, and if there is any justice in the world she will never see the light of day again if she is guilty.

The problem is, if this woman is convicted and it is considered a first offence the chances are she will get a very light sentence. This I find terrible, believe me the children are facing a life sentence one way or another and so should she.

All I'm saying is that people are talking as if she's definitely guilty. Arresting someone and charging them does not mean they're guilty. She needs her day in court where all the evidence, circumstances, and arguments for and against are properly considered. She'll be found guilty if it's beyond reasonable doubt, which is the level of test in a criminal court, and at that point we can all reasonably verbally attack her. That's the way the the principles of justice work, and that's a good thing.

Some male Paedophiles get light sentences as well.

Don't get me wrong China, it makes my skin crawl too, I just can't agree that it's any worse for a woman to do it than a man. Especially when you think about the physical reality of sex. I know what you mean about the nurture argument but surely it's in all human nature to protect the vulnerable, not just feminine. I don't think I feel anymore protective of other peoples children than my husband does, I know that we'd both step in if we saw anyone we thought was in any danger. I think anyone who participates in crimes like these are simply abhorrant and inhuman.

I was thinking about that today.

This has happened quite close to where I live so set me thinking about lots of 'what ifs'.

If I was called for jury duty (never been called yet!) I was wondering what I would do as I would find it extremely difficult to be impartial in this case.

Would they get an out of the area jury then or something....it can be a very close knit community down here. Many people would have had either direct contact or indirect contact with the nursery and/or the parents.
