Thomas’ poor sister seems starved for attention and love. Poor thing

Thomas is the most intelligent, beautiful little thing. He's just a cheeky chap and needed boundaries, I'm in love with the whole family

[@tikusblue]

Yeah I noticed he seems clever for his age, very bratty but acts and speaks like an older child. It's interesting that he turned out to feisty though when the rest of the family seem very good natured.

[@cinderellsworth]

Jamie McLeod, 20 Aug 2017 - A teenager who attacked a Kirkintilloch shopkeeper with a machete has been locked up for more than five years. Jamie McLeod was described as a "very dangerous young man" by a judge after he admitted the armed robbery of Mauchline Stores on 21 November. The 19-year-old told a social worker that he had "blades hidden all over my neighbourhood for easy access". Two other men have also been detained for more than three years each over the armed raid. Co-accused Cain Carr, 18, was sentenced to 44 months detention, while Thomas Marshall, 20, who had already admitted his involvement, was sentenced to 40 months detention. At the High Court in Glasgow, prosecutor Tim Niven-Smith said the trio walked into the grocery store together at about 14:00 on the day of the raid, when Mr Zahid was working alone. All three had their hoods up or hats on. McLeod was in possession of a machete, while Marshall had a baseball bat. Carr remained at the door as a lookout while McLeod tried to strike the shopkeeper with the machete and Marshall hit him on the head with the baseball bat. Carr then pushed him. 'Dreadful childhood' The three grabbed the till and fled, leaving Mr Zahid bleeding from a head wound. They discarded the baseball bat, the machete and the till drawer in a rear garden near Mauchline Court. McLeod's DNA was found on the machete handle, while Carr's fingerprints were on a discarded cider bottle. McLeod also admitted attacking 49-year-old Gary Baird four days before the raid, shoving him to the ground and kicking him on the head to his severe injury after asking: "What are you looking at?" Defence counsel John McElroy said McLeod "had a dreadful childhood", adding: "He was exposed from an early age to serious violence. He thinks violence is normal behaviour." The court heard that McLeod casually confessed to a social worker compiling a background report that he had "blades hidden all over my neighbourhood for easy access". Judge Bill Dunlop said this was "quite breathtaking", describing McLeod as "a very dangerous young man". He sentenced the teenager to five years and three months detention, and ordered that he be monitored for five years after release.

Do they not go to school? If they don't get enough sleep, how will they do in class?

Really liked Mum Mcleod, she was kind, fair and brave, you could see by her body language she is fearful of her son yet she still persevered, I would have not done anywhere near as well as she did when he was belting her, Awful to see her being treated so badly, I think Id have called the cops to come give him a fright tbh, he shouldn't be treating her that way and I don't think this is down to her parenting but something else. The Nashes were awful simply couldn't be assed felt so sorry for the eldest lad, made me thankful for my own family watching them. Loved the little redheaded lad and his dad trying bless.

How does a 3 year old like Thomas learn those words.....

[@SarahWestTheNyammyXanaduQueen]

as a 26-year-old girl from the United States. I felt bad for the youngest daughter of one of the families in season two of this amazing British show by the name of driving mum and dad mad. They had to deal with Bradley's inexcusable behavior quite often. She needs more attention than Bradley.

I hope people see this series before they decide to have children . It really blows my mind that children raise their hand to their parents when the parents don't hit the children! When I was a child we were spanked for everything by everybody and we wouldn't think of hitting an adult. We also didn't kill our classmates at school. Crazy!

[@sanchekl76]

Awe did the little boy say “I can’t handle this”? After mom(Nash’s)broke the cookie jar and through pieces everywhere.

Why do most of the kids not wear shirts

[@MsPiinkFllamingo]

These parents laughing about their situation during the 4th meeting is just despicable.

[@ellagriffin9941]

The way that Thomas says shut up sooooooooooo many times is disgusting

[@mrjakeg9971]

“Don’t read during Eastenders” something I’d say to be honest haha 😂

[@PinkGoldAbby]

Same here....god I love Thomas, he's so fricking cute. ❤

[@stormy8427]

I had to smile though, little Thomas gets a kiss from mummy 'cause he is sitting quietly, yea, his mouth filled with candy :) (Beautiful little boy!)

It is sad that parenting has become so child led that parents have lost all authority and have to go to support groups.

[@michelleanemily]

The nashes are struggling because they are not bloody doing what has been asked. Also I’d be questioning we’re a three yr old knows such swearwords

[@PaganPunk]

Does Toms Mother Actually do Anything with her Children????

[@norrieanthony5056]
