http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/jun/26/teenage-babysitter-toddler-murder-guilty
A 15-year-old babysitter was convicted of the murder of a toddler.
The toddler was beaten, bitten and her hair sheared off by the babysitter Karl McCluney. He was supposed to look after the two-year old while her mother was picking up a child benefit cheque and a birthday card. Karl admitted manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility but denied murder. The court heard that the attack on the toddler was so ferocious that it led to permanent brain damage by the toddler. The injuries were from getting beat in the face repeatedly. After the attack he left the toddler lying unconscious on a mattress and watched some television. When the mother returned home she started screaming and asking why he did not called an ambulance. Karl answered that he did not do anything.
I think this is horrible, I am also wondering how this can happen in 90 minutes. As a mother you will never trust anyone around your children again. I am even wondering if this mother will be a mother again since the toddler was the only child. I think that it is very good that the court rejected the claim of Karl and I do hope he will get many years in prison. Maybe it is also a good idea to make sure he get’s some mental help and maybe there will be an explanation of why he did this. I do believe the mother also needs mental help to deal with all of this.

Man got shot...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/jun/27/restaurant-shot-st-johns-wood
A gunman chased a man into a crowed restaurant and shot him in the leg. All the people that were dinning in the restaurant and were enjoying a nice dinner were able to see the whole shooting. Every guest in the restaurant told the police they throwed themselves on the floor at the moment the gunman opened fire towards his victim. Police said that the victim is not a life-threatening situation and he will survive. One eyewitness told the police that he saw the victim running through the restaurant and that the gunman suddenly showed up in the restaurant wearing a helmet on his head and he had two automatic guns in his hands. The reason for the shooting remains unknown.
I almost had to laugh when I read this article. It reminds me to the film the terminator! Running victim chased by gunman wearing a helmet! It is quite new that it happened in a restaurant instead of a dark little corner of the street. I have to say articles like this do not surprise me, shooting happen all the time and I am about to see it as normal. The thing that did surpised me was that the gunman had two automatic guns in his hands. That makes the whole story a bit more dangerous I believe.

Speak Welsh!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/jun/26/welsh-speakers-isle-of-wight
A woman named Rosemary Dean claims to be kicked out of a shop because she spoke Welsh. The shop owner was offended by this kind of English and tried to kick Rosemart outside. Rosemary Dean was shopping with her sister and they were discussing what to buy and not to buy for another relatve in their native language when the shop owner asked them to speak English. This led to a discussion and Rosemary had to leave the shop but she refused. This discussion led to both women shouting against each other and the shop owner admitted discrimination against the Welsh. She believes that Welsh is a repulsive language. The shop owner claims another story but does not wish to give any comment.
I have to say, this really makes me laugh! In the Netherlands I have a similar problem when I spend my summer in “Friesland”. I think this whole story is blown up but it is a nice newspaper filler! I should say, let everyone be themselves and please do not judge people by the way they speak! But if it is true that the shop ownes was discriminating Rosemary Dean because she is Welsh, well than their has to be done something. Disicrimination is prohibited!

Badger digging!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/shropshire/8122219.stm
Two men have been found guilty of badger digging! They used dogs to drive badgers out of the ground in Shropshire. Both men are facing several charges for: dog hunting, badger digging, killing a badger and interfering with setts. It was difficult to find a fitting motivation for this crime because it was a blood sport. The two men did this probably because they liked and enjoyed killing. The two men were brought to court by the RSPCA and they told the public that the two men were digging at the setts near Witchurch when they got caught. The sentence will be sett in July.
This is horrible, I always wonder how in H*LL do you come up with the idea to torture an animal! Try to take someone your own size and strength but not a harmless little animal! Men like this really should be send to jail, they are a danger to everyone/thing that is not able to defend itself! What if they go for a new hobby and they start molesting the neighbours’ cat or something? It has to be for sure that these men never come near helpless animals again! I would advise some heavy years in prison for both of them and an every day session with a therapist to brainwash both of them.

Woman admitted having kiddy porn!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8118429.stm
Emma griffin admitted downloading 464 indecent pictures of children at her home. The police noticed that some of the photos show babies being abused. The sentence is not completely decided but she will remain in custody. Emma is also placed on the sex offenders register. The police came on the track of Griffin after a tip. They went to her home and took her computer and hard drive to collect evidence. Before the focus was on Griffin, the police first interviewed her partner. They realised that Emma Griffin was the owner of all the kiddy porn and they found out that all the pictures were free or paid by with her credit card. The judge is still not done with this case, this man is still wondering if he should see the pictures to see what kind of offender Emma is, but he prefers not to see the photo's. The reason why not is because he does not want to convict anyone out of anger.
I think this is terrible! Why on earth would you want to look at pictures that shows how babies are abused?!! And of course, why do you want to look to photos of children anyway?!!! People like this are horrible and I am in favour of showing them to the nationwide public! Everyone should know what kind of persons these people are. I do think that the judge is someone that ownes some respect. It is really horrible that he might have to look at the photos, on the other hand I would not blame him if he would convict this woman out of anger.

Cat survives in container!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/tayside_and_central/8105504.stm
A cat survived being trapped in a container over a month. The cat kept himself alive by licking condensation of the side of the container. When a electrician finally discovered the cat, he was seriously dehydrated and far under his ideal weight. His owner said she was overjoyed to have her cat back. She put up some posters of her missing cat but when he did not returned she thought he was ran over by a car. She even got herself a brand new kitten. The electrician told that he was going over some stock when he saw something moving in the corner of his eyes. When he realised it was he cat he knew the animal must be in danger because no one visited the containers for the last four weeks. Everyone hopes that the cat named ‘socks’ will be a bit more cautious in the future.
This was a nice story to read, something else then all the murder and jail stuff. It is nice that the cat is saved and doing well. I do think it is a bit strange that you get yourself a new kitten immediately when your other cat is missing. And this case shows you that you never know if your own cat decides to turn up one day, with or without some help.

Clear maternity plan..
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/8108196.stm
There has been an investigation into maternity service in Wales and that investigation highlighted some serious concerns from staff trainees till pregnant women. The Auditor General for Wales, said that it will be necessary to create a national strategy to tackle these problems. The report pointed especially the support for infant feeding and the way labour was managed out. New mothers were also heard during the investigation and it turned out that they were satisfied but one third of the women said they were not always treated even kind and friendly during the postnatal period, there was also not much understanding for their problems and questions. The government will try to create a trainee programme for Wales if they have some extra money. This will make sure that every county has the same quality of midwifes.
I think this is a great idea. Pregnant women and new mothers should be treated even kind and friendly in every part of Wales. I also think it is unacceptable that in some areas the help and support of the midwifes is lower than low. The maternity plan should make everything more easy for everyone and so I think this plan should running by the time the new year begins. I also think that every mother needs a good midwife, not everyone is pleased with the idea that they have to ask their own mother or mother-in-law for help because their midwife is not helping at all.
