Unbelievable
Just seen a report on the news about the children found alone in the house fire. The thing that I find unbelievable is the mother is under arrest on "SUSPISCION of child abuse/neglect". She is damn well guilty because she left them children alone!!!

Not sure of their ages but there was a tandem pram outside the house. Apparently the neighbours thought it was an empty property

I haven't seen this story yet but 'on suspicion of' is a standard phrase used initially because the accused has not been convicted of a crime.

When they have had a trial and been found guilty then we can say 'guilty' but until then they are only on suspicion.

I notice it doesn't actually say on there that the kids were left alone....we are left to deduce that for ourselves.

Nor does it say how long they were left for......was it for a week while mum had a ball in Faliraki or maybe she'd only gone up the road for a chippy tea.

She may have arranged a live in sitter who abandoned them. Police have to use the term 'suspected' until they are sure that that did not happen.
