@Maree Yes, I would indirectly. I would visit the criminal underworld and take out a death contract on the offender, because my family comes first in all matters as far as I am concerned AND I am far too old to undertake the deed myself without bungling some part of the actions required.
No and i think this subject often comes up in conversation amongst those that never (thankfully) have experienced a terrible thing like this.
The gut reaction is to say you would take the law into your own hands, but in the event of something so awful, would do as so many parents have done, and leave justice to the system.
You only have to listen to bereaved families being interviewed on TV, to know this is the case.
I don’t have children, but in any event I don’t think I have it in me to kill anyone. Although I did surprise myself (and the man involved) when I saw my friends husband beating their 3 year old (and I mean beating not smacking). I flew at him, knocked him over and kicked him in his delicates. That was many years ago and not sure how I would react now
I don’t have any children but I often worried about someone hurting my mother, she was so welcoming and only saw good in people. I used to sometimes fear someone breaking in or knocking on the door to steal something and hurting her in the process - and how hard it would be for me not to want to kill or hurt that person.
I think violent crime, particularly malicious violent crime which has little or no reason (as per the example above) should have tough sentences. Yet it’s things like theft (from ‘corporations’) or those on the lowest rung go the ladder trying to claim a few extra benefits who seem to get punished the most! Just goes to show how this country is messed up and only really to serve the already rich thanks to them always being in power or in the pockets of people in power.
Slowly & Painfully. Whatever it takes.
Its appalling the way, whenever the puter is used.
The news is saturated, with attacks on Children and vulnerable females.
Reminds me of the time someone broke into my mother-in-laws house. She sat him down, gave him a cup of tea and persuaded him a life of crime wasn’t for him! He eventually asked her to call the police so he could give himself up. She was a tough old bird who nobody ever got the better of - I admired her a lot!
I was raised to respect all life and with a saying bound into my mind … an eye for an eye leaves both sides blind. That is easy to say when it’s not a child of yours that had been killed, and considering all of the innocents who perished in the Nazi gas chamber before being cremated, I could not let a murder of any of my children go by unpunished
No absolutely not , what good would it do ?
It wouldn’t bring your beloved child back to you , and you would of become a murderer
My heart would broken forever if I lost I one of my boys to an unspeakable crime.
The contemporised problem theses days. Is. As here monitored >> Youngsters particularly Females.
Growing up in a quite, respectable community and schooling…
Influenced one way or another. To City Universities, Work Adventure & Curiosity. NIEVE.
Something readily spotted, by those familiar with, and intending to " Selfie" emulate.
Curiosity becoming Vulnerability.
Before IT. Influencing could be. “Where’s the best apple tree to scrump”.
With IT. “Where is the best place to get her Drunk. Spiked”. And exposed to imminent Violent Danger.
I and there parents pull no punches. Despite the probability, of some going in one ear and out the other… Ever hopeful the essence sticks.
Choice of their friends. Being Sports, Team activities and associates.
Exposure to Low Life mitigated.
Posters saying their family is everything to them and they wouldn’t let such a crime go unpunished - is anyone suggesting other people’s family isnt everything to them? - but killing somebody else wont bring your child back - and probable result would just be your family losing you as well
and of course nobody is suggesting letting the crime go unpunished.
