Nanny cuts head of her ward in Russia

ja I can't think of anything as horrible as this. Very, very sad things happen. Children die for many reasons. But an act by a deranged woman cannot be discussed because there is nothing to say. Unless you are on a professional website for registered psychologists.

I agree morethan x

I can understand why POGS posted. Somtimes we're so shocked and appalled at somthing some of us need to just let it out. To share our despair and horror and get feedback that it's normal to feel like that. I did it myself recently in the middle of somone else thread. This feels like a safe place to air these feelings. I do think that the media have somthing to answer for in their reporting of terrorist activities It often feels as if they fuel the flames. But not here, we should be able to bear our feelings.

janea I agree.
Other people have started threads on horrifying news stories.
I am sickened too but haven't any further comment to make, it is too horrifying to contemplate.

Still don't understand.

nurses working with children,

What have British nurses got to do with this, Anniebach? This woman was a nanny.

People frequently start threads about horrible, or very sad things that have happened.
I don't want to talk about the subject of this one but I don't understand why Pogs is being singled out for disapproval.

So no British nurses for children because of Beverly Allet ?

I very much doubt if POGS has posted in a spirit of let's gloat over the gory details.

I knew nothing about this and I think it's perfectly reasonable for POGS to post if she so wishes. It is an open forum. I have a daughter who employs several nationalities in her childcare rota I am interested to know the background of the nanny.

I'm sickened

Was there really any need to announce this 'news' item?

We all have access to TV/radio so not as though we needed to be informed.

A bit sick to make a thread of it IMO.

I agree that to discuss this dreadful crime is completely wrong.

I don't understand why we need this post, unless it is to discuss if a person with a severe mental illness can be depraved

Why is this vile story news?

Why make a thread of this? Unnecessary IMO. Sorry.

She sounds mentally ill but what an awful thing to happen! That poor family! I suppose it is real and the pictures aren't faked somehow?
