Yes issue your insults regarding the destruction of my formatting because I've gotten used to not having to use HTML tags to maintain formatting for a post, and didn't use the preview option to check because I knew there was no errors in my spelling. The fact you're too much of a coward to put your name to an attack on my error does you no favours either.
Nope no pain coming your way, not from this little black cat anyway. Your points are not offensive in nature, and even fairly accurate IMO. I would point out however even in the late 19th century 13 was still not that unusual an age to be married off at. Hell I personally know a couple that were in an intimate (though nonsexual) relationship from the time the girl was 8 and the guy was 14, got a lot of bad mouthing happening, however they stuck it out. I was quite happy to be the MC at their wedding when she was old enough for them to get married with her parents' consent. I'm in an odd position on this one, I dispise rapists, however I also believe the age of consent as a concept is badly flawed and a lot of sexually related legislation in most countries needs a substantial rewrite and restructuring in view of reality.My feelings towards religion in general can't be voiced in any manner approximating civil speech, let alone the use of religion as an excuse to persecute people.
The method used for acquiring the evidence is in itself illegal, and any such evidence should be considered inadmissible due to the possibility of it having been tampered with or planted. It shouldn't even have been adequate to allow a request for a search or arrest warrant.
It is the opinion that has been brought up by legal experts regarding child pornography laws that any monitoring done by an independent group for the purposes of advising the police is in itself opening the monitor to prosecution for having come into contact with child pornography due to the wording of child pornography laws in most if not all English speaking countries. The wording is such that even viewing child pornography by accident opens you to the prospect of being convicted on charges ranging from possession to production and distribution. And the definition of child pornography itself is quite loose in that a picture of a naked child regardless of the context it was taken might be considered pornographic. Even simulated child pornography (ie where actors are portrayed as underage despite not being such), or fantasy stories (yes those plain text BS stories you can find online about underage sex are included) are all considered to be in breach of this law in England, America, and Australia, and quite likely Canada and New Zealand as well though this I cannot claim with any real certainty beyond the fact their laws are usually similar to that of the UK and Australia.
I will note if the counsel for the defence does not bring up the fact that any such evidence gained is not admissible for whatever reason the court will usually be happy to go along with the prosecution despite it being unlawful, this has been proven to be the case in more than a few publicized child porn cases where in several cases my belief is that the defendent was innocent of actually having willingly or in some cases knowingly (the classic, machine contains pornographic pictures which were not actually downloaded or viewed by the defendent) been involved in any crime.

It's a sad reality that there are kids who are either bad from the moment they're born, or become that way for whatever reason. I don't care about the reason this kid was a rotten egg though, not in the context of what I have to say because it's irrelevent to the point I feel has to be made on this.
She alleges that everyone sided with the kid regardless of the fact they wanted him gone for his actions, even the police said they had to take him back despite them seeking protection from him with them, I've been at ground zero here myself, 2 years ago my friend's eldest son threw a tantrum and stormed out of the house over being grounded for something he'd done (I can't remember what exactly now he'd been grounded for a lot of things in the short time he lived with my friend [mother took him away shortly after birth and there had been little contact until John decided to live with his father at the age of 14] including smoking, general disobedience, disrespect, wagging school, fighting at school, sneaking out of the house, well it was a long list). My friend finally had had enough and began to pack all of John's belongings and during the course of this found a few grams of marijuana (this is a negliable amount by any standards but the bag it was in had definitely contained a lot more previously) in one of his drawers, we'd suspected he might be getting drugs from someone but had only suspicions no actual proof, my friend called the police (I was here at the time and had been a witness to him discovering the bag, when the officers arrived the events were explained leading upto the discovery, and where to find John as best as we knew. Later they returned and told my friend to take John back under his roof and basically the way they said the lot he was to blame, despite the fact John had previously been in trouble with the police for drugs and other illegal activities.
While he was under my friend's roof he was continually breaking the rules, and no method of punishment had succeeded, including one time when he had been publicly misbehaving had been taken to the police station and handed over to the officer responsible for juveniles, the only thing that was never done to him was striking him. One time when he tried a temper tantrum on me while supervising him because I refused to let him watch a movie that was unsuitable for him to watch (I'd been called to get him from his school on behalf of his father who was stuck outside of town due to work, he'd verbally assaulted a teacher after a fight with another student) he pulled a knife out of the kitchen drawer and threatened me with it (for reference I'm 6'1" and 240 lbs and practice several forms of martial arts and have experience as a security officer and John is about 5'1" and not nearly as fast moving as his father or myself), in all honesty if I hadn't been afraid of having my security license revoked I would probably have been quite content to let him try his luck and then hand him over to the police for assault with a deadly weapon.
I don't believe either of his parents are to blame for his actions, as much as his mother is dislikable and definitely not one of my favourite people and quite nasty in nature at times as evidenced by the way she left his father and treated him subsequently (I've known her ex all my life blaming his actions for her leaving him is not possible as other ex-girlfriends of his have confirmed he's never mistreated any of them), I do know that when he went to live with his father she was overjoyed to be rid of him as she had no means of keeping him in line either.
I don't blame video games for his actions, I don't even blame drugs though his taking of various drugs both controlled and illegal has probably not helped. So what is there left? Was he bad from birth? Doubtful, he was a pretty nice and intelligent young kid 10 years ago when his father had access for a short period before his mother disappeared again with him. Some of his friends have definitely contributed to his attitude now (the same ones who provided him with drugs who also have
