do you remember a time when it was a better place to live

[opmania]

I remember when news agents had a stand out the front

with Papers under a rock

You took a Paper and left the money on the stand

Now days they would steal the money,the papers and the stand

and throw the rock through the window as they were running away

What nonsense. You think children hadn't gone missing in Australia before the Beaumont kids? They just happened to be the most high profile - that didn't make their parent's pain any greater than children who were kidnapped

just because people don't share your viewpoint does not make anything everyone else has to say nonsense

Living in South Australia as I do the disappearance of the beamont children had a huge impact

and it did change  the absolute freedom that children had up to that point and forever

closely followed by the truro murders and the family murders

this covered all sides of the spectrum children ,young girls ,and young men who prior to this had unlimited freedom

with the family murders if you may not have heard were homosexual related

---

So what is they were? I have read a book on the family murders - the son of a prominent news reader I believe was one of the high profile victims. You have highlighted one "gay related" child abduction - why? Especially considering the rest of the abductions you have highlighted are widely believed to be heterosexual crimes? So what you are doing is actually confirming that more heterosexual men commit crimes than gay ones? Okay, if you say so.

My viewpoints are based on fact so yes, if someone can't stand by their gross assumptions, it is rubbish and clap-trap.

If you read other peoples posts with an open mind and in a constructive way with less negative critisicm

you may understand what they are trying to say

It is quite amazing how many kids vanish without trace in todays society.
And I really only am conscious of those in Melbourne.

and it is scarey for the parents because the first 48 hours or so nothing is done about it by police

I would think that time would be most crucial in retrieving them safely

[vicr3000]

Yes, i believe that is correct.

I was thinking in particular of that girl that vanished up Boronia way, Bung was her nickname.

That whole area is packed with traffic and people in the mornings at the time she vanished.

[nicnacs_4u]

For me" personally & my daughters", I do remember a time when it was a better place to live...

I had a husband

I had a brother in law

I had a father

I had a mother

I had a mother in law

I had a father in law

all in a better place now.....smileysad:

add to that the fact that the beaumont children were never found or their abductor no trace

this meant that that monster could have been and was probably lurking somewhere in the vacinity waiting to strike again

give me an example of another case in Australia where 3 children have disappeared at the same time without a trace

---

Still here? Plenty of children have dissapeared at the same time without a trace in Australia but perhaps they weren't as white and middle-class as to warrant attention from a 1950s/1960s Australian populace.

That is the point I've been trying to make incase you were unaware as well as misinformed... 😉

I knew a girl born in 1970s and they gave her name Gay; I always wondered why she would not change it to Gayle (or whatever - would), it would make introducing easier;  people used to get bit startled when she said:  "Hi, I am Gay"
