Norman has given his perspective on it from what he would have thought if this had happened to him, why the pile on? Plus the usual suspect implying someone else is advocating child abuse, in the same way they do for other subjects.
From what I recall Norman_C has spent a lot of time supporting youngsters who aren’t given the best opportunities in life for a number of reasons.
This is the problem with social media, too many people have zero interest in debate, no interest in others perspectives, insinuations and insults are part of their MO etc etc
There are a number on this board, makes it less and less appealing tbh,
Just because the majority of responses strongly disagree with the OP's perspective, it doesn't constitute a pile on.
This is literally a story about a child who had her childhood taken from and missed out on important aspects of development which every child should have access to and sustained considerable injuries/lack of access to important information and supplies for life along the way.
It is, what it is. Why would anyone read this and want to infer that the person who suffered it was in someway ungrateful? What do you expect people's response to that to be?
Norman might well have spent a lot of time doing that but it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to respond to his post airing their opinions, quite rightly, on neglect which IS a form of abuse.
I didn't seem to pick up on anyone suggesting he advocates for child abuse, perhaps I've missed that.
He has defended a pretty unpleasant case of neglect/abuse, though. People pointing that out are not piling on, bullying or anything otherwise. They're responding. And judging from the weight of the responses most people are of the same mind on the issue.
It isn't a question of do you like 3 or 4 at the back, or which is the best parmo or even Socialism v Capitalism etc. It's a quite an uncomfortable story about someone who was subjected to something against their will and lives with the consequences.
No interest in debate? What is there to be debated? If it had been put forward by the OP as something to debate or be discussed then maybe the thread could've taken that direction, if you read back though, it wasn't and his responses didn't do much to indicate he wanted that either.
I've no issue with NC whatsoever, good poster and nice bloke. Just seems a weird take from someone who is aware of the impact these things have on children.
