What a pair of stupid girls

[SimonH]

This thread seems to have gone way off course. Analogies are great when they are exactly that but in this case the only comparison that Michael De whatshisname or Christopher Jefferies have with the two stupid girls is they were all arrested.
If memory serves me correctly Christopher Jefferies was arrested on suspicion of murder, but the press stated that he had been charged with murder, hence the successful libel claim. Now if he had been caught with a murder weapon in his possession (i.e. red, no in this case, white handed), the comparison to the two stupid girls may be relevant, but as it is, it's about as relevant as the Kevin Webster case or me having to go on a speed awareness course last month.

Just think it was a case of a couple of naive girls who knew exactly what they were doing. After getting caught, out came the butter wouldn't melt persona coupled with a cock & bull story thinking the authorities would fall for it.

The girls should of got a job on tills at Tesco instead of taking a drug and sex crazed jolly in Spain.
What sort of parents let their kids do that? They have to accept responsibility as well. You'd of thought they would of at least checked out their accommodation. ..I got kids similar ages, I would like to think I wld done something to put them off going. ..This wasn't a holiday but a working summer season in the bars. ..what did the parents expect. ..mischief was definitely on the agenda

Btw. ..just tried to give you rep Jamie. .I need to share it around. ..you defo on my rep list

[grahamw48]

I agree Mark....the worst nightmare for most responsible parents.

We all know what goes on in such places.

Not much the parents can do to be fair seeing these girls are both grown adults in the eyes of the law. You could be the best parent in the world but it won't automatically make your kid into an angel.

That's true Jamie!

You gotta point their Jamie

Like Michael before, I agree.

True, but it doesn't stop you from giving them some guidance...whatever their age.

I also think that if you bring them up to understand how to behave with some self-respect, they're less likely to make 'unwise' choices later in life.

Agreed, although they don't always listen.

I'm trying not to be contrary here. ..Graham has a point. ..I thought I was A good Dad first time around in the 80s. ..wrong! ...good provider. .poor Dad. ..I wasn't there!...had my situation hadn't been forcibly changed now, history wld of repeated itself. ..nothing beats being an hands on Dad.

[grahamw48]

Agreed, although they don't always listen.

I think you'd be surprised Jamie.

You THINK they're maybe not listening, but actually they are...if what you're saying makes sense to them....even though they may turn their noses up at the time.

[Arthur Little]

Know exactly what you're saying here, Mark ... and can readily relate to it, I'm afraid! Wish I'd spent more time with my two ... instead of the long hours I put in at work (without any thanks for it, I might add!)

But, hey ho ... ... it's very easy to be wise after the event.

Fortunately, both of them turned out responsible adults.

Peru drug charge women 'are drop in the ocean'

As two young UK women prepare to appear before a Peruvian judge on drug-smuggling charges, the country's former anti-drugs chief tells the BBC their arrests are just a "drop in the ocean".

Amid reports that one or both of the women - Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid - are set to admit trying to smuggle the drugs found in their luggage, the BBC has been told that for every person successfully stopped carrying narcotics at Lima's international airport, many more get through undetected.

Peru drugs: Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid admit charge

Two women from the UK have pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle 11kg (24lbs) of cocaine out of Peru.

Michaella McCollum, of Dungannon, Co Tyrone, and Melissa Reid, of Lenzie, near Glasgow, appeared before a judge at a closed hearing in Lima.

The women - both aged 20 - were caught with the drugs - said to be worth £1.5m - at Lima airport, and had said they were forced into carrying the drugs.

It is understood the pleas were made in exchange for a shorter sentence.

A spokesman for the Peruvian court confirmed they had admitted the offences.

Here we go - after all the hullabaloo and lies the 2 slappers plead guilty as charged

[London_Manila]

The amazing part about this case is the fact that some people actually believed their bola bola story

Gullible and lacking any common sense diba

[bigmarco]

I think if as the report suggests they end up doing 6yrs and 8 months mostly in a British Jail they can consider themselves very fortunate.

The word has it, they could be out in 4yrs

Had these 2 pretties been a couple of ugly blokes, they would of had the book thrown at them.

Looks like when these slappers come out they'll be made for life.

Their lifetime criminal records won't affect their earning capabilities.

Probably NOT ... ... it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they join those two grinning Geordies, Ant & Dec on their inane Aussie Jungle show, 'Im A Celebrity, Get Me out of Here!'.

Good news! The court is having none of it. .They want them to carry the can and take full responsibility for their actions.

[gWaPito]

Prosecutors have rejected the guilty pleas of two women caught trying to smuggle 11kg of cocaine out of Peru in their luggage.

Michaella McCollum, 20, from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and Melissa Reid, 20, from Glasgow, pleaded guilty on Tuesday behind closed doors when they appeared before a judge in Callao, near the capital Lima.

Prosecutors have asked for more information before accepting their admissions of guilt, which the women hope will reduce their sentences from a minimum eight years down to six years and eight months without the chance of parole.
