    yes I have 7 children but only 3 live at home now and no I don't have a healthy income. I came on her for some emotional support not to be called a scam. I can send photos of my children to anyone that does not belive me. I will not ask for support or advice on here again and I am upset enough about whats happened without being made to feel like a scam. this is the 3rd time that my son has stolen off me in 2 years but ever time I have forgiven him. but this time I cant and wont. I am sorry that people think im just after what I can get. I have posted on the forum a few time before and have never asked for anything and this will never change.and as for my grandchildren they are living with their mum who my son left in September and he has a new girlfriend. its my son and his new girlfriend that was arrested last night and they are still in custody police station.

    Ziptia stay and let us help you sort out 8 year old. I agree with people not sending you things and totally understand that you didn't ask but let us spread some christmas cheer in other ways by helping you find some cheap bits and bobs for 8 year olds - We're good at that on here. I think if you get proactive you might feel better


    What is she into and what money can you get together?
  • The OP has been on and explained her situation and has also nobody has piped up that she has sent them her address. she clearly stated in her last post she just wanted emotional support so shame on the people who are still questioning her.

    and jacques_chirac, your post is just offensive, it has nothing to do with you or this post what her income is or how many benefits she gets.

    I am quite surprised at some of the people on this post!

    anyway OP just wanted to say I am truly sorry this has happened to you, it must be heartbreaking especially when it's your own son. I suppose lets be grateful for small mercies which is the fact that he didn't get all your other children's presents too. hope you find a way to work things out. xx

    Suggesting someone gets help with budgeting is offensive? No, it is constructive. Hugs and kisses are not going to solve this situation.

    Please remove police station name straight away.

    Your situation is horrific enough as it is, without adding in possible identity/location clues. Did that station not close in February?

    You need other help through the mire that your life has become.
    Please ring one of these:

    the station is closed to the public as they nolonger have a help desk but it is still open
  • As others have suggested, Why not take 1 present back from your other children and buy your child something with the money

    What sort of help with budgeting? She bought gifts, they were stolen, she can't replace them because most people don't budget for two identical lots of presents in case one set is swiped! :rotfl:

    Do you?
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    If you have an entertainer toy store local to you, they had some moshi charms on offer for £1 each and poppet soft toys reduced. Argos also have a pack of 4 of moshi charms on offer for £2.49 on their website, to be collected in store. Your local store may have some? Also if you have an O2 phone download the priority moments app. There is a free £10 fragrance store voucher if you have one with no minimum spend, I used mine to get my daughter a set with poppet perfume and shower gel in for free.
