    The 'story' isn't the problem, it's the fact that it involves a clearly identified 4 year old boy who is going to be seriously damaged by it in one way or another.

    Really? :D

    I'd be willing to bet that he'll be loving the attention and is running round his playgroup telling kids to be nice to him or he'll put a curse on them or similar.

    Of course and he is in a position (developmentally and emotionally) to decide how to process this just like an adult. He is also in a position to decide how he wants to be burned by his parents, paraded by his parents and address any issues that might present by other children and their parents in the light of this.

    If the devil exists I'm sure he's a major shareholder in The Sun - in which case, won't they know about the veracity of the mother's claims? Must be true then. Hail Boyelzebub!

    Or in the other scenario....shocking, disgusting, appalling, etc, etc.

    Last week my five year old had what looked like massive hicky on his forehead, turned out he'd held the hoover hose to it..maybe I should run to the papers about it!

    I doubt the boy held the hairdryer to his chest, I have a feeling the appalling mother did it herself. :(
    Surely any doctor or GP worth their salt would identify as a hairdryer burn and not some shite about Devil markings? :confused:

    As there is obviously no such thing as the devil the whole story is ridiculous. It's the sort of crap you'd expect in the Star or Daily Sport. Pathetic. And the mother looks like a fat Janine from Eastenders :o

    *waits for a religious nut to say the devil is real *

    Hopefully The S*n will go bust through being fined for producing the illegal free copies that had no imprint.

    Someone got paid to write that and it probably took like five minutes.

    Well I'm guessing you're joking anyway........ Though if you ARE a religious nut then maybe you actually believe the devil DOES exist :o

    My last boss believed that demons were real. I think I managed to convince him that ghosts aren't, but he clung to the idea of demons.

    If you truly believe that and at the same time were making ignorant comments about science in the thread about dinosaur extinction then I am afraid words fail me.

    Are you a creationist?

    If you were joking I do apologise though. :D
