[Margaret Pilkington]

The thing is this lad cited his poor upbringing and lack of education as being partly responsible for him leading a life of crime........many of us in society had hard lives and were poor....but we did not resort to crime.
For most of us it made us strive harder to make something of our lives. And NO, of course this was not easy...but anything that is easy is hardly worth doing.

Clayton Williams was reported to have been smoking cannabis since the age of six.......how did that happen.....when social service can take children from parents for the flimsiest of reasons yet this lad was left with a mother who obviously had no idea of parental responsibility.......where did he get the cannabis? Where did he go to smoke it?
Why were his teachers not suspicious of this...there must have been signs that he was doing this. I am led to believe that cannabis has a pungent odour....but nobody noticed it on him as a child?
Something somewhere isn't right, that is for sure.

The real victims are the wife and two children of the police officer
