Guest MKII Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I used to play with mates in Kincorth in the late 60s....it was idyllic then' date=' and a lot safer at the time than Mastrick, where I spent my formative years.If MKll was there for a while I can understand how things started to slide [/quote']I have only lovely memories, apart from when two dogs started fighting beside me and then went on to break one of my legs... on the day I was supposed to go see Paddington Bear at His Majesty's!!!

pogofish Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 That said' date=' his behaviour was grossly irresponsible and the least he could do would be to pay for all the helicopter fuel and the pilots' time. By my estimation he owes them around 10,000.[/quote']Nah. The forces make it quite clear that if this sort of thing didn't happen, they would have to spend even more in setting-up training excercises & probably struggle to get the same quality of experience that real-life situations give them.

AKMartin Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I have two points to make:1. In this situation, what is the point of having a helicopter overhead? How is a helicopter supposed to spot one particular small boy, even if he happened to be out on the street?2. Didn't we all just know there would be a "Tracy" involved?

Had the kid just wondered off that's the 8 year old doing that which is kind on understandeable etc, it's the fact that there was an adult involved who didnt think they should phone the childs parents etc, and as the paper says:"He was last seen walking in Gardner Crescent by his friend Connor Clark, 8, at 8.15pm on Monday.His mother Dawn, 34, reported him missing after she returned to the family home in Gardner Road from a night out with her former partner, Lee White, two hours later."The question remains was there no-one meant to be looking after an 8 year old child from 8.15-10.15, which is is illegal in itself i think.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 POLICE UNDER FIRE AFTER 'NEEDLESS' HUNT FOR BOY CAMERON BROOKS09:00 - 30 March 2006 Grampian Police have been criticised for launching a massive search for an eight-year-old boy who was found staying with a friend. More than 100 people including police, Coastguard, lifeboat and RAF mountain rescue and Sea King crews were involved in the operation to find Dylan Trendall who went missing from his home in Aberdeen's Kincorth on Monday night.It emerged yesterday that the cost to the RNLI, which relies solely on donations, was 2,200, and 35,000 to the RAF although the sum was taken out of its budget which allows for 120 flying hours a month.The cost to Grampian Police and Aberdeen Coastguard was not clear but it is likely to have run into thousands of pounds. The boy, who was missing for 16 hours, had spent the night with a friend of his mother Dawn in Garthdee.North-east SNP MSP Richard Lochhead said: "While the authorities are always right to be safe rather than sorry, especially when children have gone missing, given the scale of the taxpayers' bill which has resulted from a needless search, police should review the guidelines and ensure local inquiries are more thorough in future."George Urquhart, a councillor for Kincorth, said he was saddened by the expense that was incurred trying to find Dylan. "Certainly the child's safety is the important thing and it is easy to be wise after the event but it is a huge amount of taxpayers' money," he added.Temporary superintendent Adrian Watson of Grampian Police, who was in charge of the search, defended the scale of the operation. "When you consider an eight-year-old child was missing for several hours, that it was apparently out of character and no one could tell us where we might find him, then it was highly appropriate for Grampian Police to treat this with the utmost importance and devote the necessary resources to bring this matter to a conclusion," he added.The operation was the biggest search in the area since the murder of Scott Simpson 12 years ago. The nine-year-old was murdered by serial sex offender Steven Leisk when he was released from jail.Aberdeen North SNP MSP Brian Adam backed the emergency services. "Perhaps inquiries about the potential the youngster might be staying with friends could have been explored better but most of us remember the case of Scott Simpson, so launching a major search was appropriate," he added. "It is easy to say it was a waste of taxpayers' money in hindsight but we don't need another Scott Simpson on our conscience."Looks like my 10,000 estimate was a bit short then.That'll be 37,200 please.

Uncle Mog Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Perhaps if they phoned the friend who had looked after the kid on other occasions before going to the police or starting a major search it might have avoided all this. Or maybe thats too obvious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
