Jon Venables
Do you think the public (or the parents of James Bulger) have a right to know the reasons behind Jon Venables' return to custody?
Personally, I don't believe it is in the public interest. It's an emotive subject though, because of the nature of the crime.
Your views?

No, they don't. Will Self's views as expressed on Question Time last night were absolutely right, too.

I agree.
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

I agree.
People here are overly paranoid about their children. The strangest thing happened to me the other day....
Some girl who'd recently popped out a sprog updated her facebook status to say something like "I wish people who don't have kids would stop giving people parenting advice" and I said something like "Just because someone's had unprotected sex doesn't mean they make a better parent!"
So she flies off the handle and says wtf blah blah and deletes me from her friends list. Obviously she's got the wrong end of the stick so I message her back saying
Hi dozeybiznitch (name changed to protect the ignorant), didn't mean that about you personally or anything, just that you get some people who think just because they've had a kid that they know what to do. Certainly not trying to say that about you though. Sorry if I offended you.
Daniel
So she replies
well i have taken it personally. we tried for darcy for 8 months... for for us any way it wasnt just un protected sex. im 26 & ian is 33!!!!! your the type of person i was on about
Well im struggling to see how you got me having a go at my sister in law on facebook to me or people i know having un protected sex because we are child abuser. what a sick and twisted mind you have. if i ever see that you write anythin else like that on any of our mutual friends wall i will be reporting you to the policeRule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

I don't think it's in the public interest to know, but it gives the tabloids something to bleat on about until Gordon Brown's finished giving evidence to Chilcot. Nice to see the "hanging's too good for 'em" brigade out in force on the comment pages.
