nmillar: Actually, it's a very real issue in the UK. In my old job, stuff like this came up on a daily basis. Most of it was successfully kept from the press though.
I know, sorry I didn't make myself clear. This incident happened, I don't think this is a particular case where the daily mail entirely made it up. I find the name Chucky rather suspect, or at the very least the daily mails use of it to refer to a problemed, abusive, 2 year old distasteful and counterproductive.

Normally I would agree - the Daily Mail is tabloid trash at best - but, in this instance, I applaud them for bringing people's attention to issues like this, despite the badly written article.

Even a trash tabloid is bound to hit upon something good at some point, even just by chance.

timppu: I noticed this:

"Police were called in to investigate the assault but were powerless to act because the girl who attacked Katie is below the legal age of criminal responsibility..."

Come again? What should the POLICE do? Take the 2-year old toddler to jail? Put her down like a raving dog?
I don't know how it is in Finland, but in Germany technically the work of the police is prevention not prosecution (prosectuion is the job of the DA and the police is only "helping"). So you should call them whenever something like this is happening, as they can do a lot more than just "throw people in jail". In Germany the policas literally can do anything, as long as it is justified.

I know it looks the other way in their day to day dealings, but that is how it is in theory.

So why did the article then say police was "powerless" to do anything on site? What were they supposed to do?

Oh and when I mentioned taking someone to jail ("putka" in Finnish, no idea what it is in German), I wasn't referring to serving a term in a state prison, but like a jail where police takes people they have apprehended as suspect to a crime, like being intoxicated in public and peeing in their pants.
