My boyfriend was reading a story in the Observer last Friday (24/03/06) page 8 "Sex victim had the mental age of a child". When he screamed out " surely thats a typing error, they can't call her that" Intrigued i asked him to read it to me and i couldn't believe what he read. Paragraph 8 referred to the victim as a "DEFECTIVE".

I AM HOPING THAT THIS IS A TYPING ERROR AND SHOULD HAVE READ "DEFENDANT".

I can't believe that a person with mental problems can be reffered to as a defective!!!
