Antiseptic - You have such a naive understanding of gender politics but delivered in your usual arrogantly superior manner. Stay with your paranoid fear of all those wild RadFems hiding under your bed while you desperately try to preserve and protect the walls of your supremacist castle.
Well I'm leaving you now boys as hols begin today and I'm off for a few weeks. I must say I feel like I've been savaged by a flock of dead sheep. But I'll be at my villa on Bribie Island for the summer so drop in if you're passing and I'll share some hemlock tea with you before I come back to Canberra in Feb. Be good boys and play nicely with each other in your little sheds.

Here’s a freaky one.

Did someone forget to put sunburn in the abuse definitions?

I’ve no doubt she will lose the children, the mental cow.

Judge could only deliver a fine. Weird shet. Many parents want court to charge them so they can prove in court they are innocent of child abuse but I keep hearing the police have refused to press charges although govt still takes and keeps the children. The more I learn the less I understand about this system and its reaction to alleged abuse or even proven abuses.

And please mens.. Don’t use it to prove women are meaner or make me go find a dozen articles where the male neglected his children. It’s depressing.

Similar convo’s over multiple threads Houel, gets boring.

Just some light "holiday" reading for you. Perhaps you could send the Bagshaw grrrls a copy.

I saw that report TPP. I thought it was a pretty good example of an overeaction to a case of having too much fun to notice the sun, as happened to me on more than one occasion. I remember falling asleep at the beach when I was about 12 or 13 and having to sleep on my stomach for a week or more because of the burns.

No doubt she should have paid more attention, but jail and removal of her kids? Seriously? I bet she never does anything like it again. Thanks to the victimologists thinking is very badly skewed.

Yeah I was thinking that. Light on details, but really, are we criminalising stupidity now? Maybe she was inside watching them outside and it didn't click, maybe their sunscreen washed off, this kind of stuff could happen to anyone really given lack of sleep or a momentary lapse or some such. Well, a lot of people. Not me though, I'm better than her:-)

There's been two ex Australian Rugby players who have run over their kids and nobody wants to jail them. I think running over your kids is a bigger mistake than forgetting sunscreen.

Oh, so we’ve moved onto talking about the housewives living in the north shore suburbs of Sydney. This is the mob that the Salvation Army was so concerned about it produced a report telling us why they were reluctant to leave all the violence that takes place behind closed doors in that region and go confine themselves to women’s refuges…the reason being these refuges didn’t have swimming pools, tennis courts, gyms etc. Just imagine if the refuges did have those facilities…all the boutique and coffee shops in the area would go broke.

Yes, give generously to the Salvos so that they can continue to produce such laughable reports.

Piper if the description in the age piece is anywhere near the truth the abuse seems to be in not getting treatment for the kids.

Missing the protection until the sunburn has happened is pretty common, not getting treatment for kid's in the state they are described as being in takes a different mindset.

At face value I'd be inclined to give the judge and cop's the benefit of the doubt on that one. As for long term consequences it needs to be worked out if the choices in that instance are a reflection of long term parenting or a one off absolute crap day aberration.
