    I'm a bit fick, but i've heard his name, but who was Plato, and what were his views?

    Guessing he was Roman or Greek.

    Greek mate ... started the plate smashing thing in Greek Tavernas during the early 1900s, presumably coz he got fed up with all the washing up constantly piling up. Best keep it to yourself coz nobody likes a smart arse. <ok>

    I think it's one of those stories that we will never know enough about to make a fair judgement. Especially when's it's kids involved. Just so awful mate. Obviously I'm bearing in mind though, there have been some notorious events, involving kids as child killers. I think I would need to read more.

    Not suggesting I should have the right to know the full story but from what I read, there appears to be a lot left out of the story.
    Must be a ****ing nightmare for the dead boy's family.

    In some ways it is simple ... if the other kid actually knew the lad couldn't swim when he pushed him in, then he should face charges for manslaughter or at least recklessness endangering life ... if he didn't know, then it is just a stupid lad prank that appears to have gone tragically wrong ... my mates and me did similarly stupid things at that age ... suspect most of us have. The only thing that doesn't sit well for me is why the kid that pushed him in didn't go in to help him when he was obviously struggling ... that doesn't look good.

    I must have missed that, did the article or an article specifically state the suspect, didn't attempt to rescue him?

    Just had another read and the BBC article states;

    The suspect and some other children jumped in very quickly to try and help him but were unable to rescue him.

    FFS mate!

    You wanted to lynch the lad with a totally inaccurate statement, even though Bobby supplied you with a link to the story.

    Didn't read Bobby's link. I had been following the story recently on various streams with reports saying many details were still to be released ... hence my query ...
