The Children (with spoilers)

Hi,

I know there is already a thread about this programme but I want one for spoilers.

Me and Danny watched the first half of it last night and came to the conclusion that yes it was very good at making you feel uncomfortable at all times. We had seen the first episode and had a niggling feeling something weird was going on that was to make you feel uncomfortable and last nights just confirmed it.

We were sky plussing so decided to turn it off because neither of us wanted to continue watchign last night, but we have put in an hour and a half of our time watching it so not sure whether we want to give up yet!

So what happened last night then in the last half hour?

I got the feeling that the boys mum was going to go psycho pretty soon, and that the boy would abuse the girl (something about him watching her dance). Am I right?

Could you tell me if you too are feeling weird watching it? Brilliant acting, just weirdness...

I feel sorry for the boy, Jack. He is going through so much and noone cares and he has noone to talk to. Did you see his father hit him? He punched him in the face before even hearing his side of the story.

Emily went to bed and told her mum Jack didn't do anything, he just watched her sleep. The dad went to hte mum and told her what happened, she went loopy calling Emily a little lying b!tch. Sue took Emily to the park where her dad was waiting for her. They had fun on the swings & Emily wanted her dad to go home with them. Sue explained he could't as he lives with Tash now, then Emily said Jack had been doing sex stuff to her.

She lied. She's thinking if Jack and his dad leave her dad will come back.

Thanks! Ah no I didnt see the punch but had seen it on clips. Why did he hit him?

I did see the babysitter teaching her about "willies" though and thought it would return somewhere along in the story. So no further on how the girl dies then?

Cameron (I remembered) punched Jack because Emily had said he was a paedophile. They were all having dinner when Cameron was telling Jack off for hitting a boy in school whilst playing football. They were arguing, Sue was trying to calm the situation as Cameron was calling him names, like thug etc. Emily piped in and called him a paedophile. Sue was like ? Jack said you liar and then Cameron punched him in the face. Proper clenched fist whack.

No further on with how she died no.
