[Margaret Pilkington]

I really don't think you know how children will affect your life when you first have them.......and it is an experience that every single parent will approach differently....and yes it is a very humbling thing to be responsible for the young life in your hands....and you are right Garinda....the man may have no conscience about it.......but then again he may....and if he has believe me it will make him pay.
I think it is also necessary to draw a line between those who abuse children for pleasure/beause they are immature/because they know no better....and parents make a mistake. Most parents...if they are honest, have done things which in retrospect have been hazardous, and have been fortunate enough for their child to suffer no ill because of it....and we learn through our mistakes....to be better parents.
All I am saying is that we should not judge on what is reported. 'Judge not lest ye be judged'
