    They also had video of someone being beheaded and similar. I actually feel sick thinking about it. And these are children who shouldn't have a clue about these things (I must admit I didn't). To my mind this is a form of child abuse, although I spoke to their father and grandmother about it and both thought it was fine. Am I worrying unneccessarily?
    I should add that we have very little to do with the family as this is one more incident in a catalogue, but I'm worried this will really damage these kids and wonder if anything can be done.
    Sound like a classy family! I think it would be "right" to call NSPCC or the like but not sure what would actually be done about this. Its such a shame when you see parents that are just too immature/stupid/ignorant to realise that EVERYTHING you expose your child to will have some effect on them. I've had to grow up alot since having my son as he started imitating my childish tantrums (I now realise I was/am quite spoiled by my parents!) but I digress.

    I seem to remember someone actually got arrested for showing a beheading vid on their phone to someone in a bar (it was "that" video of a uk hostage in Iraq or Afghanistan) it was widely covered in news at the time... I think
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
