There are indeed people who would pay good money for involvement in BDSM, but there are a number of particular features the BDSM community has, and one of those is a heavy emphasis on informed consent, safe words, the right to say no at any time, and other general anti-abuse rules. I am sure that Christian Domestic Discipline would be fine if it adhered to the same structure, but that seems not to have happened here.

I don't believe there's any country in the world where this won't happen without your consent if the authorities believe, rightly or wrongly that your child has committed a serious offense.

And presumably you don't let them go to school or anywhere else a stranger might be in loco parentis.

funnily enough the more I think about the child abuse that occurred here - the more I think that the real culprits were the children's parents. (they seem to have got off scot free).
(Obviously Curtis will get what's coming to him on April 22nd!)
Bill, fyi I already sorted out a matter in an establishment that was connected with a school that my 4 y.old daughter is attending. The individual concerned was dealt with by me and oops guess what...I got in a small bit of trouble but the individual concerned was in a lot more trouble.)

The National press had already taken at least two bites at the story, at the arrest and subsequent charges and then again when the trial started and halted inside a day. It was noted earlier on this thread that not even the local press were present every day.

you are probably right...it will soon be forgotten about
Google is apt to target searches based on what's gone before, but if you put the name of the accused as a search term, you probably get a longish list of local and national newspaper reports on the various iterations of the arrest and trials.

David's comments on responsible discussion until sentencing ought to be noted.
I have found quite a lot of the last few pages offensive in terms of the actual reports provided & noted. The individual victims giving evidence.
I cannot see any reason for levity in discussing this court case.

Morning friends :wink:

What ever the sentencing most offenders often only serve just over half the time and while in jail he should be able to take part in rehabilation projects along with other services.
I have been looking into prisoner rehabiltation and all sorts of help is now given
England and Wales, prisoners may be released on temporary licence for a number
of purposes, including compassionate reasons, training, employment and voluntary work,
to re-establish family ties and
help prisoners make the transition
from prison to life in the
community. On most occasions the licences recorded
are for one day (‘day release’). For
resettlement activities, however, the licence may cover up to five days away from the
prison.
130
In 2003, over 328,000 temporary licences were issued. Of these, over 50,000 were
granted to assist prisoners with resettlement, and over 211,000 were granted to allow
prisoners to take part in training, education, community serv
ice projects or some form of
reparation. In the same year
there were only 367 ‘temporary release failures’ (i.e. prisoners
on day release absconding).
when you are successful many losers bark at you.

Justin notes that the ECF is trying to have a conversation with CCF, but what it's about and even that it exists at all, it doesn't want to say.

A long standing (and highly regarded) member of Guildford Chess Club and significant person within the environs of Surrey chess has severed all connections from the chess world following disagreement regarding CCFs standing in Surrey chess and the hosting of county matches etc.

There is little appetite to discuss this matter and presumably there is a hope it will be quietly forgotten.

John,

Is there any truth in the rumour that you are to be co-opted on to the Board as "Director of Leaks" ?
