Pretty sweeping statement!

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. People are using that as a reason, which in my opinion is totally wrong.

Quoted from Les Brechin


Allowing your daughter who has only just turned 16 to get stoned out of her head on drink and drugs is hardly responsible parenting and the fact that everyone of that age does it, is hardly a defence really. It just seems to me that the authorities have taken the easy way out and laid the entire blame at the train guards feet, rather that finding out the real reasons as to why this tragedy happened. What about the people who were illegally supplying an underage girl with drink and drugs, how long have they been sentenced too.

Maybe he does deserve a 5 year sentence for his obvious neglect of the girls safety but there was a recent case where a drunk driver had killed 2 innocent people in a car crash and he got 2 years inside for manslaughter. In that context I just think that a 5 year sentence does seem rather harsh.

I do feel sorry for the girls family, nobody should have to lose a child.



FFS, what makes you think they knew she was out getting drunk and stoned???

Are you blind to the circumstances??? The real reasons are there for all to see, what are you missing??? He let the train go when he shouldn't... The blame has been laid at his door, not because it was the 'easy way out' but because that's were it belongs... Many factors contributed to the potential disaster but the only thing that caused it was - he let the train go, if he hadn't, she would still be here...

Again, a massive, massive assumption.

I'd wager that they probably didn't know how drunk she was getting or that she was taking MD so to just try and lay blame at their feet when in reality, i'd guess they would've actually been pretty disappointed in her if they knew beforehand.

Just because a child of 16 and a half doesn't do what is expected of them or how their parents want them to behave doesn't mean there's 'parental deficiencies at work'. Bloody naive view and means about half of the parenting population suffer from such 'deficiencies' if so.  

That's the only point I take difference to here.
