He's absolute scum, but as a woman I have even MORE choice words for women like her "close friend" Paula. Repugnant harpies like Paula, are so desperate for affection, attention and a boost to their self-esteem lack value to society. Period. Poor Sharon. Stabbed in the back and murdered by a useless narcissist.Years later after hearing about this case, it still sticks in my mind. HG Tudor is magnificent in breaking down such monsters. For me, if only I knew then what I know now. There's a place in hell for women like Paula. She got away with contributing to Sharon's death and terrible void left in her family!

I’m confused about the divorce settlement 🤔 Where I come from (Sweden) if you’re married, your assets are split 50/50 unless there is a prenuptial agreement. If the house was worth 400 000 pounds, then he owed her 200 000, whether he sold it or not, and half of whatever his guitar collection was worth. In court, she would have been granted this - or at least 300 000 pounds, plus the value of cars, furniture etc etc, in addition to child support. I don’t see how he could get away with offering her just 45 000?

As the parent of a sixteen-year-old, you should say, no. My daughter is now 20 and well-adjusted. We as parents loved her and set reasonable boundaries. We also had consequences - no spanking, that is just abuse but consequences if she seriously overstepped the rules. You are the parent of your child and you set the rules. She was too young to go away with a man of that age at 16. If my adult daughter was missing I would be at the police station every day until they did something. I would not be so passive. I feel dreadfully sorry for the father who wanted to believe the best in people. Gary should have got a minium of 30 years. What an utter schemer and loser.

She wasn't quite 16 as her father said "coming up for 16" so yes I agree with you 100%. No way would I have let my teenage daughter go anywhere with a man, let alone go to another country! Teenagers need boundaries and its the job of parents to provide them.

[@davidc3839]

I couldn't agree with you more. I spent my career as a social worker and the problem children were the ones who had been brought up with poor parenting. Children need to be loved and to have a structured life where there are clear boundaries. Of course, they break those boundaries and that is part of learning. At worst I put my daughter's toys or phone in the loft. I used to work with children who had been given no guidance or boundaries and they struggled in life. Struggled to get a job and to stay out of prison.@@nolajacobs6730

While I acknowledge and regret their suffering and loss, her parents had limited parenting skills. When a man twice as old as their 16-year-old daughter invites her on a folie a deux and her father waffles, he lost their daughter.

Possibly. Consider the protestation of a 16 year old girl - WE have no idea how the dynamics played out in their otherwise peaceful household. Throw a man, love, and a teenager in the mix and the parents don't stand a chance - for they don't KNOW anything...and even if they did, teenagers, in general defer to complete strangers and questionable friends..

[@aprilshowers769]

At age 16 the only thing that waffles is the legal system. Here in the U.S. police really don't persue when someone that age wants to be with an adult. They bring them back to their parents a time or two and then throw their hand in the air with situation. The parents can file a lengthy court proceeding, then by then the child is almost 17. Older teenagers are tricky and not always a slam dunk in the courts.
