I don't know what b/c means Saffron. It didn't sound like it was 'over nothing'. We are grown ups here. Either the poster made up a pack of lies OR there is a good reason they can't post on this subject anymore. It hasn't stopped them posting on an 'unimportant' subject elsewhere. Why not say something on the subject?

b/c = because


Alan Medic think you're being unfairly harsh on Saffron (especially after you brought the thread back up after 3kwks) as she is simply saying what I'm sure we all hope was the case so bit surprised at you doing a good job at biting her head off in your next post.


IIRC, everything the OP said in their first post was 2nd hand from her fiance & brother-in-law - nothing was ever posted having directly witnessed the situation. As I see it there are a few possibilities:


1/ The thread was deliberately started to attempt to get family room poster's knickers in a twist (maybe even an EDF version of frape - I agree it seems weird that the OP has commented on a christmas fair thread but not here since).

2/ The reported behaviour was (when witnessed by the OP) not as serious when s/he witnessed it themselves - could be that the reports she'd heard had been exaggerated (not maliciously - if a child is crying it can sound a lot longer than it really is).

3/ Something was going on, it's now being investigated by the appropriate authorities and it has been advised that commenting on this on a platform such as this could contravene confidentiality/impede the investigation/being able to help the family.


Is this more the reply you were wanting?

Could it also be that the OP simply wanted advice and didn't want to get involved in what turned into a rather elaborate though relatively unsophisticated debate on this thread?


I'm keeping positive and sticking by my original hope: all a big hoohah over nothing.

This is what I found harsh:

Felt like you brought up the thread wanting further discussion, then when Saffron replied got chippy at her response which to me seemed unreasonable - I doubt anyone is deliberately trying to keep things hidden from you & think Saffron was reflecting what most of us had thought.


I wonder if anyone has thought to PM the OP to check directly with them?

No ill will taken here, Alan Medic. But perhaps you could have elaborated on what you were suggesting in reference to my first post, when you replied, "It didn't sound like it was 'over nothing'. We are grown ups here." ?? Your statement is fairly vague. My reading of it was that you thought my understanding of the OP was naive and my reply childish. It was of course neither, and so I don't take any offence.


But it's exactly these kinds of vague comments that would have put me off replying if I were the OP. The Subject line, is "Child Abuse... advice please". The OP did get some good advice before the thread descended into a grey zone of endless speculation, moot debate, and virtual rubbernecking. All very entertaining, but it's not *advice* is it?


So, my advice to the OP is not to post anymore on this thread! Red1, I'm sure you've made the best decesion you could given the evidence and resources you've had.

;)

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription. 
    • Didn’t they have a very ‘unusual’ way of allocating council housing which was also criticised in that report and which hopefully has now been changed

    • Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'?  If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective?   It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.
