Agreed. I've googled and can't find anything about it anywhere. I'm not saying it's necessarily not happened but I suspect there may be more to the case than has been put in the petition. If I were to sign, I would want to know more first (and I would want to know what the petition is calling for).

Apart from petitions this is the only thing I can find on the internet about the case - for whatever reason it doesn't appear even local Northampton media picked up on the case.

The "whiners" are trying to advise how to make sure such a story gets more exposure..goes to the right people etc..

"Those not worth responding to" are trying to help the story get into the right peoples hand in the best possible way.

Its a good job not everyone has the attitude of just taking 2 seconds to stick their virtual signature on a website so they can feel all fluffy and superior because they "did their bit" :eek:

Thats the easy part!

As someone else has already said, where are the "signatures" going?! Do you even care? Or have you done your bit? So job done?

No one is disputing what happened is awful, what people are trying to do is help on getting the information to the right people and I am betting the "right" people will want more then a text rant! Sorry if that makes me a heartless person for pointing that out! Getting results takes HARD work!

Well said. There is only one person making sweeping incorrect statements round here and its not you Spring Time.

~What an ill thought out and wayward protest/petition.

I have to say that if the comments given were taken on board then a more structured protest could be put forward and the momentum would be gathered at a more considerable pace.

As it stands, clearly it is not quite there yet as all it is doing is getting questions asked of it, which so far there have not been any answers to.

This is called constructive criticism Bambywamby, it is designed to assist where possible something is not quite as planned.
Do not criticise me for trying to help in another way and certainly do not patronise me for having a sensible opinion that differs from yours.

From the petition site:

the judge classed it as 3 counts of neglect

quite different from assault. Neglect implies that they were not supervising the children properly not that they physically hit them.
