A p*** was living next door to me - convicted

Carl, I don't know the ages of your children but by the time this guy comes out they'll be that much older and wiser. No consolation I know, but you can't go through the next few years worrying about it. When/if the guy ever comes home just ignore him, you have a life of your own, don't let this creep consume you. Good luck for the future.

It's a real shame you felt the need to taint some really thoughtful advice with your medievel opinion re the death penalty.

Thats your personal opinion Phil, not the general consensus in the UK.
But lets not derail this thread with our differences of opinion on the subject.

I respect you greatly as both a photographer and your contribution to the forums, your posts are a joy to read and very interesting, even if I don't agree with everything you have to say.
But in this thread I only mentioned the subject due to the OP bringing it up.

I feel really angry about this - that a dysfunctional family are living next door (the youngest lad who is his real kid) is a right weirdo. He has no friends, does not go out just potters about in the garden. Not a normal 15 year old teen (I was out getting into trouble with my mates, drinking and chasing girls - not the best role model either - but at least that is "normal").

Sorry to go back to the start but this bit worried me and I wonder if this youngster is perhaps more troubled than wierd and perhaps more of a victim than a wierdo. Whatever the case I do hope that it's not too late for him and that whatever makes him wierd to you can be resolved with help, I hope he receives some.
