It is the oddest scenario ever!
What's going on with Shannon's family?
I'm sorry... what?!
That lickle girl who was kidnapped by her stepdad's brother, who's stepdad has now been hauled in for child porn & his mother & I think sister accused of something too. Her mum has only seen her once since she was found, through a glass petition. It is all very weird.
And the step dad (who got arrested for having child porn) moved in with Sharron's mum 5 years ago. When he was 17!!
He mum is NOT that young, so what the hell was she doing with a 17 yr old bloke?
Absolutely flipping mental.
I can think of a few things 
.
Yea it is really strange.
Well social services have to put the needs of shannon first so they'll say nowt
And the police don't want to prejduice a case so they'll also say nowt
For all we know she might be in alqueada or kidnapped by aliens.
More likely some one'll get greedy and blab to the redtops for the sponds.
The child porn should be treated with care. In atleast one blown terrorist case, the police accused a guy of having child porn on his computer
turns out it was just photos of his won kids on holiday, and in their pjs
A cynic would say it's a way of looking like their doing something
True.
But it's much more fun this way.
You guys are weird.... very weird...
The thing that shocked me the most, about that whole case, was the fact that there were/are over 1400 registered sex offenders, living within a 20-mile radius of shannon's house, and, I think, 7 living down her road! I don't think Chris Morris would've written that Brass Eye Paedophilia episode, if his children had've had to grow up in that area.
What's a sex offender?
A slavering child kidnapping uber perv, in a black cloak?
Or some poor sad sack who looked on the wrong website once, and got caught out.
Or a 15 year old who had sex with another 15 year old?
The Paedophile special remains one of the few truly relevant, and truly important bits of satire in the last 10 years, I guess thats why it's so hated.
I don't hate it. I agree that some of the people that Chris Morris made fun of, in that episode, deserved it, e.g. the makers of that over-the-top Panorama special, with the scary music. Then again, I have to admit, I personally would never write such a show, purely out of respect to victims of paedophiles, and the relatives of victims.
It's the silence around the true nature of predatory sex offenders thats the problem. Personally I think comedy is an absolutely legitimate way of spreading the news, and debunking the stigma around it.
I agree with that sootyj. One of the best ways to expose something which social expectations try to insulate the world from is to put them into a popular setting. Comedy can be really though provoking and poignant, and highlight the stigma in a way which is socially acceptable but still accurate. It can allow it to become accessible, and give people a voice about it.
This whole thing is a Daily Mail Editor's wet dream
Absolutely comedy doesn't have to be mocking. It can selective, serious, and at times highly respectful. It reflects a needless kind of prurience to view all jokes as "making fun of a situation,"
Very often historically comedy was a socially way of exploring the unsayable (Bleak house, legal/beuracratic hypocrisy, The Merchant of Venice, prejudice and alienation).
