It is sad that some parents have to suffer the tragedy of losing a child before they realise their parenting skills were less than adequate. Taking your eyes of a toddler near a swimming pool, leaving a baby alone with the family pit-bull, holding a child on your lap in the front seat of the car, leaving a two year old child to play outside near a road while you go inside to do something else….

Two year old Tyler Kennedy went missing in bushland at Taree, NSW, after his parents left him playing outside a local business premises while they went inside to sort some details about their car. Correct me if I’m wrong, but two year olds are still generally babies and are not up to looking after themselves so that they remain safe. They can wander onto a road in a few seconds….fall into the hands of a stranger….

Well, his parents left him outside the building and left him unsupervised for as long as it took for him to disappear and he was missing for almost 24 hours. Anything could have happened to him of course. Well, Tyler’s been found thank god, at 1.am in the  cold of night, and his parents are overjoyed of course. But being a parent and one that was always in the habit of holding onto my kids hands when they were toddlers, wherever we went, I’d like someone to give Tyler’s incredibly stupid parents a good hard kick in their respective pants. Two year old children are not responsible for themselves, their parents are. This kid’s disappearance was not an accident, it was through parental negligence. Take better care of your child in future!

It was not a surprise when 12 year old Tia Sharp’s killer, Stuart Hazell, confessed to murdering her today because basically in cases like this you seem perfectly able to judge a book by its dirty cover. Stuart Hazell has vile degenerate written all over his lying, predatory face. His is just another in a long line of evil, wicked men who go to extraordinary lengths to find young girls to abuse – and they achieve their disgusting goals through ingratiating themselves with the mothers of girls like Tia.

We live in an age where it is frowned on to judge the lifestyles of others, and where someone’s lifestyle causes no harm to anyone I agree with live and let live. But children like Tia Sharp all have a common denominator…dysfunctional family environments. We know that Stuart Hazell had worked his unique magic on Tia’s mother at first before going on to charm Tia’s grandmother, who Hazell was in a relationship with when he killed Tia. Is this something to criticise…? you tell me, I have never been in the habit of sharing boyfriends with my mother…”Here mum, I’ve had enough, now you try him on for size…”

Okay so Hazell had slept with Tia’s mother and her grandmother – unethical, immoral and weird are the worst things you could accuse them of being. But this monster was more than that; a drug addict with psychotic tendencies, a man with a violent past, prison terms for threatening a man with a machete, a child-porn addict who trawled the net for images of children who looked like Tia being abused. And it was deemed okay for Tia to be around someone like this. Left alone with him too.

The poor judgement of some women is astounding and will never cease to amaze me about what they see in men like Stuart Hazell. That poor child never stood a chance.

Now hang him.

Okay, so for several months now anyone with access to the internet and half a brain worked out right from the start that the ‘Australian entertainer in his 80′s from Berkshire’ who was being questioned by police regarding historical sex offences was our own Rolf Harris.

Likewise, anyone with half a brain has already worked out that Ms Lauren Martell, bored 43 year old layabout with a house at secluded Wiseman’s Ferry in NSW, Australia, is not only a sandwich or two short of a picnic but an out and out fantasist looking for a piece of some rather questionable limelight.

Same can be said the for the woman from Wollongong with similar aspirations of fame who was to meet with UK Met detectives at a location in Sydney and failed to show up for her interviews….twice.

Anyone who is anyone in Australian showbusiness and knows Rolf will attest that the man is not guilty of the vile accusations these fame-seeking attention-getters are throwing at him. His closest friends feel no need to even justify the disgusting claims. How long have these obviously unstable females had to file complaints before now….20 – 30 years? ever heard the phrase ‘jumping on a band wagon’…?

I have, we all have. Rolf is innocent, and when he is proven so I hope he sues the heck out of those time-wasting women.
