Yeah me and my DF were talking about all of this crime the other night it is so dodgy nowadays and scarily unsafe makes you wonder about years to come when our kids grow up. We were saying how the legal system is so light it seems and that there are just to many crims recommitting crimes and not learning lessons. You just really wonder what goes on inside these sicko's heads but will never really understand completely too many innocent people get hurt it just aint fair!!

It shouldnt be called news, it should be called tragdies, or sadness, or something, you very rarely hear good stories

Yes I saw that on the news tonight and all i could say to my husband was "What is this world coming to", " How could anyone be so cruel". It makes me sick.

Yes, I saw that too! Wasn't it shocking! Poor lady! The post office one was also just as shocking. I was even thinking, just the other night, how violent society is becoming. It was news report after news report with nearly every item being about some form of violence or assault earlier this week. I had to turn the news off. What is hapening in our community?

In Toowoomba recently, where I live, a man broke into a home, sexually assaulted a young girl in her own bedroom and left. The parents, who were asleep in the next room where woken up by a noise but didn't think it was anything, so went back to sleep. Awoken by another noise, the mother got up to see what was up and found her young daughter in the garden, extremely upset and the offender nowhere to be seen.

... Theres that, and the fact that hardly a weekend goes by here without an armed robbery or assault of some sort, that makes me really regret moving here.

I know we had just sat down to dinner & I said to DH I really think that its time we stopped watching the news but then again I feel the need to know whats going on in the world so I guess you just take the good with the bad, unfortunately the bad is outweighing the good by far these days.
