Is Gail Too Soft With David?
"Your'e my son, so I'm on your side". How would you deal with a kid like David?

Send him to a young offenders unit. That would teach him a lesson. I hate the way the character of Gail molly coddles him.

She makes me want to scream. For goodness sake, she's not doing him any favours in the long run.
Thank goodness we can 'turn him off'

I think we are missing the fact that Gail blames herself for a lot of David's problems because of splitting up with Martin, all the Hillman stuff and then Phil. If he hadn't got an excuse she wouldn't be so soft but I'm sure she feels she has to make it up to him in some way by being soft with him.

How does she think she is helping David? Feeling guilty or not sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. She is the adult and also his mother letting him sit around playing computer games and kicking a football around is not the answer. She should make sure he has counselling. Gail is totally wet anyway I don't ever remember her doing anything right!

Lets face it, David is a borderline psychopath with all the built in agression that goes with it.

If Demon David was my child he would be given a slap round the face, then i would take all of his personal things of him like Gail did, and i mean everything! Then i would stop his pocket money, i wouldnt give him any money what so ever, tell him to go back to school and he can have his things back if he keeps up to it. Then if he failed id send him to his fathers house in Liverpool for some sorting out!

hang on.......can't Gail be fined if David doesn't go to school?
My son's father was threatened with fines (in the UK) if he played truant - something like $40 a day?? But then, how DO you make kids go to school, except by chaining them to the desk?........where does personal responsibility come in, and why always blame/punish the parents? I know in the US, legislation is being brought in to ensure that truants and other miscreants won't be able to get into youth training programs and vocational colleges if they haven't completed school - probably includes denial of social security handouts too...... |

He deliberately put her through mental torture when he was sending those cards, driving her to pills and booze, all the while lying about it, and even though he knew how she was suffering, he kept doing it.
And what was his 'punishment' from Gail when this evil persecution was uncovered? Apologising to him for making him do it to her and buying him a brand new Play Station - or whatever it was. When you get rewarded and not punished in anyway for being evil and vindictive towards your own mother ... then you know you can do what you like and get away with it cos all she spouts is hot air, and that's exactly what Demon's doing. |

. It's a difficult situation, but I don't think that would solve anything. I reckon it would make a child disrespect you even more. I don't know what should happen really. Gail needs to cover herself, ring the education welfare officer or something, explain the situation. It will keep the police off her back. I think David is getting bored already being off. Gail has taken everything away from him. |

The thing that I think a lot of viewers are forgetting is that Gail is acting completely in character.
David's behaviour is extreme in comparison to that of his siblings, but Gail has always acted in a similar manner towards Nick & Sarah. The first thing Gail will do is blame herself for her children's problems. |

He's taking the piss. She's a fine example of political correctness taken too far
I'd give him a wallop, and if that doesn't work, kick him out to live with Audrey. |
