in the news today shannon`s mum has to wait another 42 week`s befor she can have her home she has only had one glipse of her.
makes you think somthings wrong.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

i do think that the whole kidnapping thing wasnt as such and she was maybe there from her own choice?

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

You probably have a point there mani, but I did read somewhere at the time that the SS were on the verge of taking her into care when she went missing. I've also seen today that her mother is talking about suing the police if she doesn't get her back soon, good luck she'll need it

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Does seem strange, something musnt be right but cant always go off what the papers say

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

There is something deeply disturbing about this whole affair. Social Services must have their reasons and I'm sure that the legalities of removing a child from her family will have been perfectly executed in such a public case. We'll just have to see what eventually comes to light, but I tend not to believe most of the drivel written in the Red Tops.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

There must be something amiss if thats the case.
The whole thing has seemed highly suspicious to me from the start.
I just feel so sorry for Shannon,she must wonder what the hell is going on not being able to see her family.
Lets hope it is all sorted out soon and she can get on with her life.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

would you want to go back to that family?

blimey they did look like summat out of shameless:(

poor sod, must not know whether shes coming or going.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

The Press have been put in a very difficult position due to the fact that they are NOT allowed to report care proceedings and to make matters worse the victim of a "kidnapping" if under-age should not be named nor should anything be said that might lead to her identification.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Its a bloody good job shes being kept for another 42 weeks after todays developments!!!

BBC NEWS | England | Bradford | Shannon stepfather in porn arrest

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Just heard about that in the news....the dirty bastard!

makes ya wonder if hes been messing with her:(

always thought he looked dodgy!

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I agree Panther. There's something odd about the whole thing. Shannon would probably be better off staying in foster care.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Ive just heard the same on the news, There was obviously something not right, maybe he's been doing something that he shouldnt have been doing which is why they would not allow her to go home until they had investigated it further. Its sick

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

omg just seen this on news.

although they say its not connected with the main investigation, the police must have had thier suspisions for them not allowing the child back home..

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Agreed. They wouldn't have checked computers in their home if not.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Mmmmmmmmm very suspicious indeed, even if he had nowt to do with it he has still been caught with indecent material of children.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I think they will have probably been checking the computers in the first place to see if Shannon had been talking to anybody online. The end result may be the karma for the conditions the girl has to live in provided by what appears to be woeful parenting.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Have just seen it on the news that he has been charged with 10 counts of possesing indecent images although they are sayin that none of these are of Shannon.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

i wonder what shannon`s mum thinks about all this

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

at a guess id say she had no idea about it, it must have sickened her and upset her even more than what she already was. Given whats going on at the moment and having to deal with that and then to find this out, it must be heartbreaking for her really

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Is shannon back with her mum permanently ?

heard they were reunited, but is it for good?

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Id not heard that she had gone back to her mum. If thats the case then the reason they were keeping her away must have been her stepdad you'd think

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

no she is not back with her mum,
but she as seen here so a friend sead on tv news to day. and hope she will be back in her mums arms soon.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

How could you tell? All you could see was the cap!!

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

oh i can tell a dodgy git when i see one;)

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I wouldnt think it would become public knowledge if there were some of shannon tbh. (chid protection )and all .
Hope they throw away the key and leave him to rot

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Thats a good point, never actually thought of that (it takes a lot for the brain to kick into gear sometimes, it's too tired looking after the boys)

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

UMMM 2 women arrested today bigger than originally though me thinks

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

haven't had any chance to watch the news today ..... what have they been arrested for?? anyone know??

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

aiding and abetting
and obstructing the course of justice
sounds like they helped hide the young un

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

The plot thickens!!!!


"TWO relatives of Shannon Matthews' stepdad, Craig Meehan, have been arrested in connection with her abduction.
West Yorkshire cops are holding Craig's mother, Alice Meehan, on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

They are also holding Amanda Hyett, his 25-year-old sister, on suspicion of assisting an offender.

A police spokesman said: "Detectives investigating the alleged abduction of a nine-year-old girl in Dewsbury in February, have this morning arrested two women in Dewsbury.

"A 25-year old has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and a 49-year-old on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

"They are being questioned at police stations in West Yorkshire."

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

well it may explain why they wouldnt allow shannons mam to see her for a while..
If that woman knew nothing about what her hubby and his family were up to then she must be going through hell.
just hope her and her kids can find some sort of normality after this.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

ah but did these people take the child to protect her? we dont know anything yet really do we?

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

from him!!??

why he's family though:confused:
its a bit suss that she cant go back to her own mother:confused:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

maybe her mum knew what was going on and refused to leave him....who knows

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I thought that too!

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I dont think Karen is involved, my heart goes out to her...
Latest news
"SHANNON Matthews’ mum was “staggered” yesterday after ANOTHER sensational twist in the saga over her daughter’s disappearance.

Traumatised Karen, 32, was left reeling again as the mother and sister of Shannon’s stepdad were arrested over suspected involvement in the girl’s kidnap.

Amanda Hyett, 25 – whose house is next door to Shannon’s family – was held with 49-year-old Alice Meehan. Her son Craig lived with Karen until HIS arrest earlier this week.

Mum-of-two Amanda, who also has a stepdaughter, was arrested on suspicion of assisting her uncle Mike Donovan. He is accused of abducting Shannon and holding her captive for 24 days.

Widow Alice – who Shannon, nine, called “Grandma” – was arrested and questioned on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

The swoop followed allegations by Donovan during police interviews.

Cops had checked emails and phones to see if any of Shannon’s family or friends had contacted Donovan, 39.

The arrests were yet another hammer blow for Karen, who dumped 22-year-old Craig this week after his remand on child porn charges.

Karen was last night still on suicide watch at a police safe house.

A pal said: “She’s been told the latest news and is absolutely staggered.”

Craig’s arrest – which is not related to the Shannon case – came on the day Karen was briefly reunited with her daughter for the first time since her February 19 disappearance.

Shannon has been cared for by social services since cops found her in the base of a bed in Donovan’s flat.

Earlier this week, social services stepped in to look after three more of Karen’s children who normally live with the family in Dewsbury Moor, West Yorks. Her other three kids live with their fathers.

Alice and Amanda were arrested as they attended an appointment at Dewsbury police station yesterday.

Amanda was heavily involved in the huge hunt for Shannon and wore T-shirts appealing for help. News of her arrest was broken to hubby Neil by The Sun. The 36-year-old coach driver, away working in Spain, insisted: “She’s nothing to do with it.”

Karen has vowed to return home, despite death threats.

She has been warned vigilantes may target her semi over the charges made against ex-love Craig. But she insisted: “I won’t be driven out.”

Amanda and Alice were granted police bail last night."

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Maybe they are all in it and thought they would get money!!!!!!

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Its all developeping slowly....

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

OMG I will hold my hands up and say I was wrong with my thoughts on the story!

Karen: 'I knew where she was'

COPS have been granted an extra 12 hours to quiz the mother of Shannon Matthews.

Sobbing Karen Matthews allegedly confessed in a police car that she KNEW where her missing daughter was being held – from DAY ONE.

Karen, 32, had made emotional pleas for an abductor to return the nine-year-old throughout a massive 24-day hunt.
But last night she was being questioned on suspicion of perverting the course of justice – as neighbours who helped search for Shannon branded her “twisted”.

Panic
Detectives arrested Karen at 7.20pm on Sunday after she broke down in front of pals and her police family liaison officer.

She allegedly blurted out: “I knew where she was all the time.”

Karen has told cops the background lay in a plan to leave her partner of four years, supermarket fishmonger Craig Meehan, 22.
She claims the man accused of snatching Shannon – Craig’s uncle Michael Donovan, 39 – had offered her a place to live.

She had packed clothes but at the last minute “bottled out” and stayed put.

Police are now investigating whether at that point on February 19 Donovan had already picked up Shannon from school.

Panicking Karen reported she had gone missing on the way home – then watched in horror as the search escalated.

But detectives are ALSO probing claims that associates of the Matthews family tried to extract money from the Maddie McCann fund – and the possibility of a kidnap plan based on an episode of Channel 4 show Shameless.
Karen’s arrest came after two of her pals were driven by family liaison officer DC Christine Freeman to pick her up at a safe address.

In the car, her friends began quizzing her over inconsistencies in her story. One suddenly suggested she had known from the start where Shannon was.
Mum-of-seven Karen, of Dewsbury Moor, West Yorks, is alleged to have to have “nodded and said Yes”.

A source claimed: “She started shaking uncontrollably and crying. Her friend asked her what part was true.


“It’s alleged she said she had known where Shannon was right from Day One. It seems everything got out of control and she didn’t know how to stop it.”

DC Freeman pulled up and rang her bosses before driving Karen to Dewsbury police station. Yesterday she was being held at a police station in Wakefield.

Karen is said to have discussed moving in with Donovan at a family funeral. But she has denied gossip about an affair with him.

Police found Shannon on March 14, hidden in the base of a divan bed at the maisonette home of computer programmer Donovan in Batley Carr, a mile from her home.
Fury
Donovan is charged with abducting and falsely imprisoning her. He slit his wrists and took tablets on Sunday in a suicide bid while on remand.

Five members of Shannon’s family have now been arrested.

Karen dumped Meehan last week after he was charged with 11 child porn offences unconnected to Shannon.
Meehan’s sister, Amanda Hyett, 25, and his mother, Alice Meehan, 49, were also held in connection with the alleged kidnap.

Last night Karen’s arrest sparked fury in Dewsbury.

Farrah Johnson, who helped run the Find Shannon campaign, said: “I’m sick with anger. We think it’s unforgivable and twisted. She watched as our homes were ripped apart by search teams. We all helped look for Shannon.”
Caroline Meehan, 29, the sister of Craig Meehan and Amanda Hyett, said: “I have always maintained that Karen had something to do with this.

“There has been an image painted of her as innocent and vulnerable – but that’s not how it is. Now hopefully we will get the whole truth.”

But friend Petra Jamieson, 30, pledged to stand by Karen. She said: “Whatever she’s done, she’s done for a good reason. She’s not a bad person.”
Karen’s cousin, care home worker Vicky Saunders, said: “I’m shocked. I was with Karen when Shannon went missing, I helped. She loves all her kids, no matter what.”

In her 999 call reporting Shannon’s disappearance, tearful Karen told the operator she had been “everywhere I can think of, friends, family and everything”.

During the hunt she made a series of tearful appeals, pleading “Please let her go” and describing the youngster as “my little Princess”. Our source added: “It’s now suspected they were crocodile tears.”

A legal expert said yesterday: “Anyone who knew where Shannon was and stayed silent can expect to be prosecuted.”

West Yorks Police confirmed they had arrested a 32-year-old woman on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

More than £5million in taxpayers’ money was spent on Britain’s biggest ever missing person hunt when Shannon vanished.

Six hundred cops searched 3,000 properties.

These purile cretin 'families' get ther ideas from those even more purile cretin TV soaps :rolleyes:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Just a few weeks ago Shameless featured a storyline about the faked abduction of a child for financal gain.

The truth's stranger than fiction, or is it the other way around?

Perhaps they'd have been better off watching Supper Nanny on the same channel.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

If this turns out to be true and the family did it to gain reward money they all want locking up. Lowlife scum. Shannon doesn't appear to be the brightest of kids and "didn't know she had been abducted " , well no wonder, she hadn't ! Did they really think she wouldn't say anything when eventually "found " ?
Beggars belief.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Shannon Mother charged with perverting the course of justice and child neglect.............Sky News

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

following this from a distance , but what I think people should be concerned about is ....what happens the next time a child genuinly goes missing from a "dysfunctional/low income" home ?. Will the same cost and effort be expended as happened in this instance or will the reports of a missing child be treated with a bit more skeptisim and God forbid a sadder ending .

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I suppose it depends, as to what has recently been shown on the telly.;)

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

In this case I agree and credit was given to Sky for breaking the news.

I would hope the the police and other agencies in the UK respond to a missing child report quickly and with all the resources available at the time.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I'm curious as to why she can't go and live with her natural father ?

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

maybe because he's like a lot of men......doesnt want to know:rolleyes:


why have they been done for neglect?.....just wondering

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

not ALL men are like that though panther, my mate kev brings up 3 lads on his own

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Can't believe this woman gave such a performance initially, was actual tears plopping on my cheeks as I watched her .. she must at least be offered an Oscar ... !!!

In defence, does sound like she was quite scared of her partner... or does it ? :confused:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

No defence for her Katex, anyone who spends their money on "pop and sweets rather than nappies" deserves no sympathy and does deserve the neglect charge.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I know flashy;)
I did say ' a lot ' of men!, maybe i should have said 'some':D

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

being stuck in the a:mad::mad::mad:hole of the world!!! I watched this story unfold on Sky and BBC World and CNN.
I remember seeing the natural father's reaction to his daughter, Shannon, being found. He had searched by himself every day (Sky News) she was missing and he was over the moon to hear that his little girl was alive and well. I do hope that he can feature in her future.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

What's that Lindsay ? Thought the neglect charge was to do with her leaving her with this man and open to danger, etc.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Wasn't she planning to run off with the guy that Shannon was found with? Am sure I heard that was the plan she was leaving the perv to go with him.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I heard that too bernadette.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

According to the press today she regularly sent her kids round to her sisters with no nappies on, just plastic bags taped to them.
This info purports to have come from her sister Julie Poskitt who also claims that Karen forgot how many children she had.
I have also read an article that said early on the inquiry Karen said 2 of the kids were twins; she thought that because they had the same father that made them "twins" ...........:bangh8::bangh8:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

c'mon ya taking the ****?

surely no-one is THAT THICK are they??

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Oh dear .... nowt else to be said then .. :(

Lived across from a lady who thought she couldn't be pregnant because she didn't get the big 'O' .. just some people are quite ignorant really .. very sad.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Sadly it would seem they are, her sister would appear to be more reliable and reputable than the rest of the family having been with the same bloke for 20 years and can name her children.She is a senior care assistant and is offering Shannon a home with them.
She is quoted as saying "It's hard to believe we are blood related,to be honest,I think she is deluded,I don't think she is all there."

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

What a terrible,terrible situation.
To think somebody could stoop so low as to report their child missing for financial gain is unbelieveable.
Poor Shannon is all i can say.
Lets hope she finds somebody to love her and look after her properly soon she deserves it.
As for her mother and family lets hope they get whats coming to them karma and all that.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Are they going to do another series?

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

there is always someone worse of
financialy.. mentally..physicaly..
and always someone ready to throw the first stone :(

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

i hope the mother gets whats coming to here. and glad she did not get Shannon back she is better of ware she is, what mother would more or lease sell her child. in the end she will get here just reward and that's prison. god bless all her children :dancedog:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

i dont feel sorry for her one little bit but i think it was just a lie that had got out of hand.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

i never throw the first stone beechy, just the BIGGEST.:D

Where was it reported, I can't see any news stories about that?

She hasn't been tried yet.:confused:

Ok, thanks, found it.

Daily Star: Simply The Best 7 Days A Week :: News :: £100k op to hide most hated mum


It doesn't say who is saying this, no named source, just 'police' and 'experts'. Very shoddily hatched story.

How do they know what will happen to her until she is tried, and if found guilty, sentenced?:confused:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

If true, that's ridiculous

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

If it is true (which I doubt) I hope that she gets a cheapo NHS job and ends up looking like Sylvester Stallone's mum - which would be an improvement

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

She shouldnt get it on the NHS. Why the hell should evil people like this get this preferential treatment!? What she has done and what she will have to deal with is her own problem, completely her own doing. She should have thought of that before being a nasty evil cow!!

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

So you would rather a Harley Street chap did it then?

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

If it means it comes out her own pocket, thats how it should be done

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

That's disgusting if they do that. And heres me fighting for surgery (which is classed as cosmetic) on my stomach after having the twins but am not fighting it entirely for the cosmetic reasons, have medical reason for it too and am getting no-where. There's just no fairness in it at all

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

there ya go em.... leave the boys with me for a while, say theyve been kidnapped and you will get your surgery :D

yes, i am joking!

Re: Shannon Matthews
 

its a sham. Shouldn't be getting it on the NHS.should be getting with the £400 a week she did the DHSS out OFF.

Articles | Shannon's neighbours in fraud probe - ITV News

Sadly there probably are honest, decent, hard working people on this estate, the trouble is finding them, as they seem to be in a minority.

As no other newspapers have featured the story, other than the Star, which barely qualifies as a newspaper, I think the story of Shannon's mother receiving plastic surgery is bunkum.

She's been charged with child neglect, and perverting the course of justice, but hasn't even been found guilty of any crime...yet.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Sorted em, will get that surgery some day, knew i just needed to find a way

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I didnt really make that very clear. Thats what I meant. Why should the NHS pay for it.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

I see that today Karen Matthews has been remanded in custody until this case comes to trial in November......that's a long time.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

It is, and which makes a mockery of the report that she was going to be given plastic surgery and a new identity.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

And you can bet she will be getting extra protection wherever she is:mad:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

She might be a dim witted trollop, but until she is found guilty of any crime her safety should be ensured, if only to make sure she is fit and well enough to stand trial in November.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

True......

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

thats what the law of the land states,however prison law is summat else.:dflam:

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

There's a lot of rubbish written about many high profile cases.

In this case especially you have to wonder about the intelligence of the person who has sold the story to the newspaper.

There was one story in last week's paper, which struck me as the pot calling the kettle black, told by the father of one of Karen's children.

He had a right good old go at Karen, saying all she did was lie on the settee, drinking beer, smoking fags and eating pies.

He said she didn't look after the kids properly, didn't buy nappies just taped carrier bags to the babies bums.

Then at the end he said he hasn't seen his son for 2 years but hopes to resume contact soon. :(

I have to wonder why he's not seen his son for 2 years and wonder if he is a fit person to go round slagging others off.....I bet he's just as bad.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

By November the people on that estate will have found other gormless persons to direct a hate campaign against. That's the way they live - as in those tv soaps they use as models for their lives.

Re: shannon mathew`s
 

Cheque book journalism.:(

I read his interview online.

Quite agree, pot and kettle.

I hope somehow her other children are now being given a better start in life than these wastrels gave them.
