What a thing to say about city you've never lived or worked in. There are good and bad areas in every city in the UK.

i've been there enough and know enough people from there, lol. i think i know what i'm talking about

It sounds a rather ignorant and narrow minded view sorry to say caitlin.

it's okay, you can think it all you like. I know what I am and that is something i am not

leeds is lovely caitlin

In year 5 a boy brought a knife to school and pulled it out on a girl and I was sitting right next to them. I didn't know what to do so I asked to go to the toilet :umm2:

He wasn't even excluded :umm2:

Yes one to be charged soon

Awful :(

you do know you can get stabbed in any post code!

She was not even meant to be there

real tragic

In her last moments, Ann Maguire's thoughts
were only for her pupils.
The 61-year-old teacher begged
them to flee rather than witness
the horrific attack on her by
one of their fellow students.
One teenager said: 'Mrs Maguire was
screaming at the kids in the class telling
them to get out because she didn't
want them to see what was happening.'
Last night detectives were continuing
to question a 15-year-old boy over
the murder of the popular Spanish teacher,
who was in her last term before retiring
from full-time work at the school
#where she spent her entire 40-year

Just how long does it take to question this lad, the whole class are witnesses to what happened. Why is it taking 3 to 4 days to find out what happened in two minutes ?

I expect it is a complicated as (a) he is under age,
(b), they need to tread carefully so they get the correct verdict, and he doesn't walk free in a few years time if he is psychotic.

.

Every area has its plus and minus points, no matter where you live.

He probably needs the life tariff and then when they feel he's old enough maybe Broadmoor.

It said on one of the news reports that his mum was on holiday which caused some delay in beginning questioning him and he had be evaluated by psychologists to deem he was fit for interview.

Yes the Police are going far to slow on him.
They know he is the Guilty boy.



Grim Reaper is
on his facebook page

WHAT!/???

OMFG this is news to me

That's so sad... she was begging the other pupils to get out so they didn't have to see... :/

Maybe if some of the pupils attacked him with chairs etc..........outcome may have been different

Maybe she would still be alive ?

Possibly but would you fancy your chances against someone who had just stabbed your teacher multiple times in the neck with a knife? I'm not sure I would have.

some of your posts are unreal :umm2:

The 15 year old will be Charged
with Murder
He goes to court tomorrow in a Juvenile court

She seemed like such a lovely teacher, the person who did it needs proper punishment!

I read about this earlier, exasperated but unsurprised that "violent games" are getting the blame once again in the rags. "Dark Souls" of all things... a high-fantasy game. Perhaps he mistook her for a dragon?

Anyway - of course it's glossed over that he was on or had been on anti-depressants, most likely SSRIs, and that SSRIs have the potential side effect of mania, psychosis and violent psychotic episodes. Relatively rare, but well documented and very real. Do you think we'll see that pointed out in the mainstream media? No, of course not. Not good for business.

Sigh.

Stop pumping kids full of barely understood, brain-altering chemicals and maybe we'll see fewer of these incidents. Whichever quack prescribed powerful mind-altering drugs to a hormonal teenage boy should be struck off. But then again - so many doctors do it - we'd probably have none left. IMO, these drugs need to be taken OUT of the hands of GPs and should only be available for prescription by doctors with full qualifications in psychiatry and neuropsychology. I have absolutely no doubt that this has played a role in what was clearly some sort of psychotic break.

...hmmm, I'm not necessarily disagreeing about the medication but then if it's prescribed too often to young people but it's not often that someone does this type thing, then does that really contribute either as so many people take it... he was obviously not mentally healthy and could have always been that way and no matter whether he had taken medication or not...

It's a rare side effect but it is a known side effect, as in, it's actually listed by the companies who make these drugs as a potential side effect. SSRI's are massively over-prescribed by people who have no idea what they're dishing out, and they have horrendous side effects in MANY cases. Not usually violent psychosis but a myriad of other things (organ and other tissue damage with prolonged use; onset of irreversible clinical depression due to damaged serotonin receptors; seizures of varying severity usually caused by serotonin flooding - which are actually relatively common).

Violent psychotic breaks are very rare in general so, when I see a story that obviously indicates that someone has had such an episode (and unless there's something more to this story, something that she had done to him that isn't known / hasn't been reported, then it can only really be put down to a psychotic episode) alongside blasé mention of him having been on mind-altering medication that has been clinically proven to potentially cause exactly this... then, it's hard not to see causation in it. Obviously there's no way to prove that this is exactly what's happened, and that, of course, is the problem - the reason that no one will bother to step in and stop these pills from being dished out to teenagers like smarties.

I thought you liked my posts... You told me so not long ago..

It is a possibility, I remember a friend of mine being prescribed seroxat at the same time as a couple of suicides, I was really worried but it appeared to be an accepted side effect :/

He was in Court today
