SS are criticised whatever they do. There are cases where children were wrongly taken from their parents and adopted - never to see their real parents again. The problem is the caseload carried by social workers is much too heavy. The solution is more social workers but would we want to pay higher taxes? I would but a lot woudn't. And I am totally against the death penalty but I believe life imprisonment should mean life. Gwynne

I think death should be what these criminals beg for. Their time in prison should be made as tough as possible, no tv, no socialisation time, no treats, just basic food and shelter and lots and lots of time to be alone and pay the penalty for their crime.

Hi ya our Catherine xxx , Trouble with the death penalty is ,how do you prove 100 per cent that the person is guilty ? Mistakes have been made in the past, people were executed, then 20 years later further evidence has turned up , proving them innocent . They are granted a pardon, bit late when they are dead . That makes the system as guilty of murder as the people they punish . It,s a difficult one to answer ... Kim xxx

In the light of 2 recent children being abused one the little girl Letitia Wright who apparently was killed by her mother and her partner. This poor mite (4yrs) had a bobble to play with and she use to sit in her bedroom window and wave to the neighbours, then her mother put a matress at the window so she could not look out. She had no toys and was found naked in her home with over 100 seperate injuries on her body, inc ciggarette burns, bruises and 2 bite marks. The 17mth old baby boy in Haringay North London, who died as a result of a broken back and ribs who also had fingernails missing, again the mother and partner have been arrested. This seems to be coming ever common to harm your children again social services are too late-I'd love to hear of SS stepping in before a child was tortured to death, but you never hear of that. This makes me sick to the pit of my stomach that people can do this to their own children. I would like to see them hung personally. so they cannot be a drain on our society and it's finances. sorry for the rant, but it makes me so very upset. catherine xx
