I am very confused. Do we know what the child was doing and roughly where was this?

 

[Taybha]

Was this taken after Ulloas penalty v Boro ?

 

[Tarpon]

Hands up how many of us just went straight back to the picture to "check"

...on a roof. As you do.

Just spied this scene out of the window of the rented house we just moved into.

cat burglars come in all shape and sizes

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What kind of parent allows their child access to an open upstairs window anyway? Unbelievable, Bozza

 

[TonyW]

Is that CMS?

Nah, too tall.

From your window, you spot a small child (7 years old?) on the steeply sloping roof of the house opposite. The roof has many cracked and dislodged tiles and the child looks as though they are attempting to get back into the house via a first floor window unaided. Do you:

A. Drop everything, go out into the street and be prepared to render immediate assistance in the event the child slips and falls?
B. Get your phone out and take photos?

You can apply this to most things these days, ask the ghouls that were photographing the dead girl that got hit by a bus on the Lewes rd a couple of months back.

Any how is it up to the photographer in this case to "help"? The child appears old enough to be simply refered to as "an idiot"

Tell me about it. Despite witnessing it on an almost daily basis, I am still unfailingly staggered by the number of passers by who will stop to take photographs of a seemingly nasty road accident, usually in a quite open and shameless manner. Or just stand and watch paramedics performing CPR on some poor lifeless individual. I've seen people videoing that, FFS. What exactly do they do with the photos?? I had some rubbernecker on Monday morning stand behind me for about thirty minutes, taking photos with his phone of a badly injured man being cut out of his car by Fire & Rescue. I can't physically stop him, but Christ on a bike, what's happened to some people's sense of human decency? He was totally unconnected with the accident or the driver.

(Not suggesting any of the above applies to Bozza by the way, presumably his eye in this case was caught by the Albion strip).

The lad on the roof plays for the same football club (Worthing Town) as my son. I'll let him know he's achieved fame.

 

[rcf0712]

He's even got shin pads on!

A dead girl got hit by a bus? How did that happen? Did the bus hit a hearse or something?

hilarious, hopefully the 18 year old girl's parents can see this, they could do with a laugh I'm sure

Child throws toys out of window - parents throw child out of window. Simples.

Fkw :d

You know, sometimes, every now and then, saying nothing is the best option .....

It's an interesting perspective, especially when you chose to quote my terribly, horribly, offensive comment.

I was mocking the poor use of the English language rather than the girl, her fate or her family but you can get upset with me if it makes you feel better.

If I counted up the number of times I'd been photographed or filmed on mobile phones whilst cutting RTC casualties - both alive and deceased - from vehicles, I'd definitely qualify a mention in the "NSC's most famous poster" thread. The most surreal are when on the motorway at night and a coach passes the scene. Virtually every window will be filled with the eerie glow from a smart phone pressed up against the glass.

As Edna says, quite what people do with this footage after the event is beyond me. Leaving the morals of it to one side, why would anyone want images of badly injured or dead people on their phone?

Reckon that house is in Croydon. Good on yer kid.
