When Evil Came to Rochdale

These babies dummies seem to be very popular amongst young parents at the moment; I actually saw a young baby in a stroller with of these in her mouth when I was in the supermarket this week.

Why? I just want to know why. and possibly who?

Not a great fashion.

What happened to teddies?

My ex had a baby daughter, and her mum put her in a t shirt that said "eat sh*t and die*.

She did it to get at the dad, (I think) which it did!

I think skull and crossbones popularly refers to pirates [although why people should want to glorify pirates I do not know] historically they were seen as both a symbol of mortality and of the resurrection.
Routinely allowing children to get terrified by adult horror films I guess things is surely not a good thing, but historically children have been told stories such as Hansel and Gretel and Red Riding Hood, where there are horrible things, being eaten by a wolf, being fattened up to be eaten, but, evil does not triumph in the end; many children are traumatised by Bambi and Dumbo though, one must be very careful. There was a time though when it was thought appropriate to terrify children with the thought of hell and damnation [and the devil] to encourage good behaviour, and nowadays I can imagine that social workers would look askance at anyone who did this. There are some churches [not mainstream] that believe in possession by the devil, which gain is pretty abusive
Keep skulls and away from babies, poor things, but just giving a dummy with a skull on isn't abusive, just in incredibly poor taste

This baby grow has floral sculls over it. It is pretty because of the colours, but I still don't understand why use sculls if they don't look like sculls?
Clearly
It's still in fashion.

As with the Salem Witch Hunts there is usually a hidden agenda involving either money, sex or power.

Seven members of a paedophile gang who posed as "witches and wizards" have been found guilty of running a "monstrous" child sex abuse ring in a Glasgow drugs den.

In what the NSPCC called one of the worst cases in recent decades, 11 alleged members of a paedophile gang faced a string of charges against three children.

Seven members were found guilty of sexual assault and rape by a jury at Glasgow High Court on Tuesday. (Sky news)

Many of the elements bear similarities to the allegations in earlier cases, then dismissed as the fanatical obsessions of evangelical Social Workers, and now described as a moral panic.

I was very close (in a professional sense, but not directly involved) to one of the earlier high profile cases. There were some powerful people implicated in many of the allegations. I didn’t know then, and I don’t know now, what I think about that case, but I know that things are not always as they might seem.

Sorry I should have said, the above happened in November 2023 in Glasgow.

Thanks nightowl. I mentioned earlier in this thread, adults will use anything to control children they’re abusing. Witchcraft, magic, religion etc and terror all feature. It’s very difficult for people who haven’t first hand experience to believe the depths some sink to

Exactly Iam.
