Such stories (do a search on their site for 'run away man Internet') will explain the girl in question is terribly shy, did well on her GCSEs but for some out-of-the-blue reason decides to go off with a 30yr old unemployed father of six she met off Facebook/Bebo etc. The Mail's take is basically to warn middle-class parents that unemployed dossers will prey on their innocent daughters and use Svengali-like powers of hypnosis to pry them away from their hard-working families. And in best Wail tradition if the men aren't unemployed then they're... a bit foreign. There's an important issue about warning teens not to get involved with shady characters, but the Mail only cares if the parents live in a big house...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812818113282970877.post-80182128960301527062009-08-02T08:37:24.225+01:002009-08-02T08:37:24.225+01:00The Mail has a consistently disgusting take on the...The Mail has a consistently disgusting take on these kinds of stories. If a 'lower class' girl gets into some type of personal shenanigans the story will tell you how horrible her life was - and comments will be 90% "CUT WELFARE NOW!". If its a middle-class girl then the article will be spun along the lines of "How did a nice girl who lived in a £300k house and go to private school end up like this?" and imply that she was led astray by an illegal/evil chav/black seducer & deserved it for living the sleazy life of the tartish poor.

How odd that no comments have been published, especially any about trawling through a dead girl's Facebook friends' pages to get a juicy hatchet job out of them.DanProject76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01316911867846259567noreply@blogger.com
