Do you feel 'sorry' for Karen Matthews?

Question

i do (if she had no knowledge of what her'young' boyfriend was doing that is!)

i know everyone thinks there a load of "thick chavs" but at the end of the day....the mother 'may' not hae had any prior knowledge this was happening!!

lets hope it all sorts itself out & the main thing is that the kids are safe....what are your thoughts

Answer 1

i have mixed feelings, but i knew he had something to do with it i could tell by looking at the creep the police have known all along to, that's why she has remained in care, from what i have read and heard he has been seeing her for 5 years he is only 22 now, and she is a lot older with 6 kids, its probably been going on for years and it wont be long till it comes out hat she is involved to, i can imagining she is one of these who would stand by him, i just feel for the other kids lets hope they have not been exposed to the sick pervert.

Answer 2

I thought from the start that they were a set of "council estate pond life"

She has 7 kids by 5 fathers.

The step dad is a pervert.

He moved in with the mother when he was 15 !!

The police would not let Karen back into the "family" home.

They must have had good reasons for this.

The whole sordid story will unfold shortly and I think that the neighbours and the good people of the area will think that the fireworks and champagne were a waste of money

I dont have a problem with council estates or the people but everyone of them has a family like this.

Answer 3

If she is standing by him then no, but if she is devastated and really had no idea, then yes, I feel sorry for any woman put through such a shock.

Answer 4

maybe...but she should have not allowed her 9yr old to go out anywhere alone...so i don't feel sorry for her!!

Answer 5

No. Its a mothers job to keep her children safe.

Answer 6

Well if she had no prior knowledge then yes I do. A double whammy of massive proportions. 1st her child is taken/ran away from the home, then to find the man you loved may be the cause, well, I'd feel for anyone in those circumstances.

Answer 7

No way!!

May mates a copper in West Yorks and he says the public don't know half of it!!

Answer 8

Honestly, as I still don't know the full story I'm withholding judgement. There are a lot of allegations been thrown around and I don't know what to believe.

Answer 9

I feel sorry that she has had such a horrible life, by which I mean she doesnt seem to have been in a happy normal relationship at any time, but if she did know what he was doing then not at all.

Answer 10

I do feel sorry for the children, but also feel there is more to this sad story than we have been told. Lets wait till we know the full story.

Answer 11

she had something to do with it thats what i think. or she would have the kid back .

she has only seen the kid once from its been back but if that was me i would make them give me my child back i would go rambo style on them if they didint give me her back

but she doesint care

Answer 12

Not really. I feel sorrier for Shannon and her other 6 children by diverse fathers. What kind of start in life have they got?

Answer 13

I feel sorry that she seems to think her lifestyle is good enough to keep having children. If she was childless, by all means have as many different blokes as you want. How does it affect those children with 5 different men coming in to play dad. And as for the last one, at the ripe old age of 20, how could he possibly be mature enough to take on the role of stepdad.

Edit: 22 i mean.
