    Nonsense. She didn't receive any money. He took out an injunction.
    Helen had sex with Rooney - he paid her - that makes her a prostitute. She then sold the story to the newspapers. The injunction was taken out by a well known actor who also paid her for sex. Which part do you not understand?

    :confused:

    we're using 'escort' as a euphemism , is what she did legal ?

    from what i understand, prostitution is not illegal but soliciting is.

    All that says to me is Helen never told her about her CV. Even Pauline, as ignorant as she is, would have to know there's no way in Hell anyone is letting Helen adopt or foster someone's kid.

    Helen has no chance.

    I may be wrong but in this day and age a smoker would not be allowed to foster surely
    Smokers cannot foster children under 5 years old

    NO - the money to set up her own business came from selling her story about having sex with you-know-who to the media. Hardly "working hard".
    Really? Or the few years working charging between £1200-£1400 per time as she states in her story Helen Wood: Confessions of a working girl.
    Rooney was just one of her many customers....not by any means the only one.

    Exactly.

    She runs her own salon now doesn't she, there is nothing wrong with turning your life around, many people have done it.

    I also don't see why she should be thinking of Rooney's children when he certainly wasn't!

    Hallelujah haven't we all made mistakes in life? I am still making them...I am so glad all mine can't be lined up for everyone to Judge:confused:

    A lot of perfect people around these days it seems!

    Like I said I don't think Social services will look kindly to someone who dumped there own child for three months to go on a reality tv show. Whilst your right in saying its unfair to say she cant turn her life around after her life as a prostitute she brought a salon which was a good move but...then in my opinion she ruined that turn around by going on Big Brother and raking it all up again. The thing if she has a successful business she cant even be doing it for the money so why leave her business and child for all that time? why not let the past be the past? Her child probably had nasty insults at the time and now again probably gets teased in the playground. Why would Social services want to put a young vulnerable child into that environment?

    Althrough I can't stand helen that's really unfair, she's a single mother who was offered a place on big brother, should she have turned it down and the chance of making some money in the media?
    A lot of parents work away, maybe the dad is looking after the child? Or his family or hers? At least she's not on the dole she used her money to buy a salon she could have gone on drugs or something or got into porn., for that she has my respect also she had her son very young and made some stupid choices but she shouldn't be judged for the rest of her life.

    Also what about Luisa Zissman? She was in big brother for 3 weeks and she only has weekend custody of her daughter, no one says anything about her.
    Not sticking up for helen as I think she's been vile in the house.

    I know all about Fostering - my line of work. I know all about the assessment process. I've also been a FC for 20+ years. Forgive me if I sound too exuberant that here's my chance to give my expert opinion!

    Helen would find it impossible to foster due to her past. Let's say Helen has a clean criminal history (including cautions) and that alone didn't stand in her way, how could she state she could keep a child safe from sexual exploitation - an area that all candidates have to tackle. How could she look after a sexually abused child? You can't have your own potentially conflicting issues in this area that could resurface. You can't have links to this kind of thing. Who knows the kind of people you have had previous contact with. Sorry to be blunt, but she would be turned down due to the routine needs of the children.

    Really any need for that tone?

    I couldn't give a damn if she sold her story. I thought she said something about a journalist contacting her out of the blue and asking her to do a story and then he took out an injunction. If she did manage to make money out of it then fair play to her!

    Do you really think I have any sympathy for a married man who has been caught time and time again using escorts?

    I'm just glad the story was reported. As I have said previously, she inadvertently did Colleen and her unborn child a huge favour. It meant she found out her husband was using escorts and she was then able to get herself checked out.

    Someone previously working as a prostitute would not automaticly be ruled out because of it, everything will be looked at in detail and ss would want to know how its affected them, the situation they were in at the time and whats happened in thier life since. For eexample, a 40 yr old women who was a prostitute 20 years ago, who has all the qaulities they are looking for would not be ruled out based on that. I find it very odd that Helen has not mentioned her son at all, ( if she I have not heard it ). While 11 is not that young, 3 months is a very long time for a child to be seperated from thier mother, whatever the situation is. I don't understand why she would want to do this, but thats down to her. Social services would probably find it the most worrying thing about her.

    I was in care myself - I did not have a good experience, I was moved about constantly and
    Was generally treated very badly. I am at university and people are always suprised at my academic achievements because they assume I am stupid and on benefits. I do alot of work with children in care, because its important that they see an example of someone who has come out the other side. My point is that judging a person based on thier past is useless - you need to look at how they are today.

    The child's needs are paramount. Helen works as a prostitute, she has said so, so her colleagues will also, her association with other sex workers, the pimps, the drug pushers and addicts and customers will be in the child's circle. If the child has problems, can anyone say this is an environment conducive to their well being.

    Helen has a choice to do what she does, but that should not include fostering children.

    You are trying to hold smoking against her, REALLY? :o

    Do you really think the authorities will make a decision based on someone's smoking habits? :D

    How do we know she's a heavy drinker? We certainly haven't seen it in the house because they don't give housemates enough drink for ANYONE to be a heavy drinker.

    I suspect if she wanted to be a foster parent then it's because she's looking to make a career change. She would either sell the salon or have other people run it.

    She really doesn't have a history of irresponsible decisions. Working as an escort was a perfectly legal career choice. She worked hard in that profession until she had saved enough money to start her own business. Fair play to her!

    People are getting a bit carried away just because she's been nasty to one or two people on Big Brother. She doesn't deserve a life sentence.

    And bear in mind what her son may be going through at school at the moment! >:(

    Yes, in a rushed, slurred part of Pauline's original [Day 2] justification for choosing Helen she mumbled how H. told her 'she wants to foster disadvantaged kids if she won BB £150K'--which WE never saw [for a reason??]. Shows how naive Pauline is despite her self-seen Wisdom, eh??

    She's a single parent who needs to work all day, a smoker, a heavy drinker, and has a history of irresponsible decisions, being a prostitute is the least of them. She has no family support system, since her family had disowned her. Nobody is going to subject a child to that environment, especially now that she's documented her behavior on tv. Aside from that, it's obvious she'd never pass the psych screening.

    I agree with you. No one is saying that being a prostitute automatically makes you a bad mother. Her behaviour makes me doubt her being a good candidate for fostering. Bullying behaviour and calling someone fat in an argument does her no favours.

    IMO yes she should have turned it down. She supposedly now has a successful business. Why risk that and the riduicule her child would have to do through for the sake of a couple of interviews in the media and why resurrect all the crap about Rooney and make herself look bad all over again? If I was a customer of Helens salon I would have to think twice about going back and I do wonder a lot how this affects her child? he doesn't see his mum for months and is probably going through hell at school and is she there to support him? no :(

    You think either Pauline or Helen act like the product of a well-balanced childhood!?

    They are/were both in an unnatural environment. We know nothing about Pauline's ordinary life & too much about Helen's !!

    The majority of them are behaving badly, in there. I am sure they are not all products of abusive homes. They are just brats ;-)

    I don't understand why so many people think abuse can't happen in middle class families.

    Not saying that's true in Helen's case, but in general.


    I am not one of those people - I am well aware that it does !!

    It didn't happen in Helen's case, though. She has been quoted as saying that her parents argued a great deal etc, etc.

    Allegations of abuse have never been mentioned ! it is very unfair to label parents, without full knowledge !

    Which one of us had perfect childhoods - or, indeed, are perfect parents ?
