I'll try not to powerlevel too much but the UK is full of rancid whores like/worse than Hollie. I live in a pretty nice working class suburb and still these scum are everywhere. There really is no shortage of single mums who neglect their kids so they can slag around with dossers and drug dealers, so as sad as this thread is it doesn't surprise me in the least that something like this has happened. And whenever it
does happen the mother puts on the waterworks and says,
'He was an angel child who could do no wrong', when in fact he was a nightmare on legs who nobody could control, all because there was nobody in his life who cared enough about him to raise him properly. Kids such as Archie, as depressing as this is to say, are vanity children. I'm sure at the time of conception Hollie wanted a child (

) but still in the back of her head she was thinking of all the money a brand new crotch goblin would rake in.
I don't know about Burgerland, but in the UK benefits are big business. A single mum with two kids can blag her way into earning more money than two fully employed parents. And what do they spend this money on? Drugs, TVs, a new wardrobe every month, BMW leases. Oh, and then they have to feed/clothe/entertain their kids who quickly get in the way of their hedonism. You can understand why someone like Hollie would sequester her child in their room all day, ignore him for hours and then berate him when he interrupts her high. An unbelievably bleak scenario countless children around this country suffer that imparts irreconcilable trauma upon them. At least now Archie is free and he can be at peace in the next life RIP.
Those are all the insights I have to offer so I hope you found them useful. This is genuinely the most horrific thread on this website to me. The UK isn't as bad as Nool says but seriously when I read threads like this I pray 500 times to God, begging him to resurrect Edward III so he can save this foetid country from itself, so that cases like this never have to happen.
