I watched the Shannon Matthews programme too. I keep thinking of the seven Matthews children and hope that they are all living happily, having experienced true love from the families they were placed with after the horrors.
With new identities, I'm not sure they would have been allowed to stay in touch with each other, how heartbreaking for them all. 💔

I didn’t realise the children were all given new identities. I haven’t watched the documentary yet but when I saw the ads I thought how sad it is that Shannon and her best friend never saw eachother again. Really upsetting that it’s happened with all her siblings too ☹

I read that her mum is engaged to someone who is a paedophile :sick: so awful if the children are not in contact with each other but I can't help but feel they had a lucky escape
 
Just watched the family on you tube. Then watched the update in 1984. Quite interesting to watch. Hadn’t realised Paul Watson made Sylvania Waters. We used to watch that years ago.

Oh I don't mean that horrible lump she lived with I mean her biological Dad. I just googled it and he's in the news as saying in 2012 that Shannon had asked to live with him before it happened. It's a difficult situation isn't it? Not being able to see your own daughter ever again for something the mother did.

Although, having read about the case at the time there didn't seem to be much good parenting going on.

While Shannon was missing, a tv company did a documentary on the search and her biological dad turned up at the community centre and Karen wanted daddy put on a poster or something. When her dad tried to object as she meant the toyboy, she wasn’t very nice.
No idea if her dad is still involved. I’m sure some of her 7 kids actually lived with their dad’s.
 
I watched the undercover police: catching peodophiles documentary,
Yes it is a hard watch but what I took from it was,
There are so many people getting arrested for looking at / possession of IIOC and they are looking into catching them etc BUT why are they not looking into the people who are making and distributing it, it’s like well done for catching this person but those children are still not safe 😡
To me it’s like going around arresting people for taking a line or smoking a joint but not going after drug dealers!
 
What always gets me about documentaries about child abuse images, is the fact that the pedophiles who view it don’t seem to think about or care how much damage is being done to that child.

The second man in that documentary, the one who wrote his email on the toilet wall, said he wouldn’t watch anything where the child was crying or distressed. Well 1. that was proven to be a lie when they saw what he’d been looking at and 2. every single child in those videos or pictures would have been distressed and it will affect them for the rest of their lives.

Child abuse images are exactly that. I don’t know why some of them feel like are any better for just watching. The demand means that children will continue to be abused.
 
I watched a youtube one recently on “The Toybox killer” and it is the only murder documentary that had made me feel sick to my stomach. What those poor women went through, I can’t imagine. The poor woman that escaped, the bravery. I can’t believe such evil exists.
 
A really heart wrenching documentary I saw in 2015/6 I think was called Body Donors? It followed the lives of terminally ill people who are planning to donate their bodies to science when they die. It really struck a chord with me as one of the ladies was the same age as my mum at the time, she had a party to celebrate her life before she passed away from cancer and her whole family had to come to terms with the fact that her body would be used for research. Obviously each of the people featured eventually passed away and it showed what happened to their bodies afterwards, I sobbed like a baby and it’s stayed with me for years.

I knew somebody who did that a few years ago. He had a very rare form of cancer and knew he was going to die but decided to donate his body to medical research in the hope that it might help anyone else who ever became ill with it in the future.
I think it's an amazing thing to do.
