Shannon Mathews family??????

[faginsgirl]

IF everything the media have said has gone on is true what kind of family is this?????

What were they thinking? Surely they would realised the police would go through EVERYTHING with a fine tooth comb and did they think the guy who supposedly kidnapped her wouldnt spill the beans if caught? Not a family of extreme intellegence in my opinion

Not just after a gossip here, but just wondering what your thoughts are. I find it shocking but I suppose nothing has been proven yet.

Is this another example of 'family meltdown'?

Disfunctionaly is the 'in' discription I think

7 children with 5 different men ? should one judge one's fellow man ?

Well there was Henry VIII, he had six wives! The average Hollywood and rock star get through loads of wives and churn out many children with different partners, and adopt a few on the side when they get bored. The only difference is that they're rich and famous and it's accepted!

Why don't we all hang on until the truth actually comes out in a court case??

Technically possible - for a short while. Like minutes or an hour or so if the births crossed midnight.

Indeed. I knew twins who were in exactly that position.

It's not unknown for children who aren't twins to still be in the same year at school because of how their birthdays fall. Perhaps that's the case here.

Good News for the tabloids though, they won't have to find another story for months, maybe years!

in this instance she called them twins because they were the only 2 of 7 to have the same father ,maybe the sorry mess that is the mathews family will waken our politicians up to life on sink estates and the whole married to the welfare state culture ,although it would probably be easier to sweep the subject under the carpet ,import from poland the workforce for non skilled jobs and carry on handing over billions each year in welfare payments ,so i guess thats what theyll do

Without wishing to add to previous comments on this particular family, it is salutary to be reminded occasionally that many of our fellow citizens do not seem to recognise or respect the ethics or morals that we (certainly I) were brought up with and adhere to.

So it seems, judging with the avid interest shown in the family by some on this thread....
