Apparently family members alerted social services but the couple were very good at manipulating them. Family members sent photos to the police.
It is a very sad event. Shocking to say the least.

Hey Dark Side I can not really see the attachments. For what it is worth this will likely occur. The Rams are playing quite well of late and Rooney would most probably be pulling out his recent hair plant. The Rams have played quite well and the last three matches that have thrown away some vital points they desperately need. Having said that so have we.
My bet today is unfortunately a 1-1 draw and not a home win for us.
The goal scorers for the Rams would most likely be Boldock or Lawrence. City goal coming from Weissman or a surprise goal by Massengo and might be worth putting on a couple of quid on the young lad scoring.
Massengo deserves award from his continual commitment. A goal for him will build is confidence.
Going back in a bit of history from the 70s I remember now at home games and my dad taking me. We always were in the Enclosure in front of the then called Grand Stand looking onto the pitch with the East End on our right hand side.
Season 76/77 the great season also where I think every City supporter traveled to Coventry for the historic last game of the season on the 2-2 draw at the end.
Not with standing that we are talking about Derby. That season I remember the home one where it was a draw against the Rams 2-2 and Keith and Gerry Sweeney scoring the goals. Season 77/78 it was a more of a greater home win with sticks Tom Ritchie scoring two goals and Donny G scoring the third.
I sincerely wish that all you great City supporters witness a great win at home today. I google week in and week out the scenes of you City supporters attending home and away games singing your hearts out on wins and of which there should be more of them, I look at the OTIB flags and enjoy and smile the pride of you guys I see on the highlightes. I miss not being able to get back to the UK having a few ciders, going to BS3 ,family and the great city of Bristol.
Not sure what has too do with the original post but my head says a 1-1 draw

A tragic story caused in part because of our under-funded social services. Things like this wouldn’t be missed if they weren’t so stretched.
Where were the neighbours, friends and other family members. I understand social services have a responsibility and they have limited funding.

Looking at the shortcomings of the squad do we need to sell to get the funds to get the 3 players we need.
Massengo, Bakinson, Palmer & JD could offer the opportunity to get a few quid into so Nige can use to invest in the Squad.
Leftback, Midfielder and Striker look the minimum we need to give the squad a much better balance.
The above to return 2 or 3 million between and that should be enough to get at least 2 perm and 1 loan we desperately need to get us clear of relegation.
A left back would allow COD to play as a more traditional winger and also Pring can cover/compete as LB. JD becomes surplus to requirements.
A midfielder capable of starting on rotation with James and Williams allows us to cash in HNM and also get Bakinson out.
A striker maybe on loan should gives enough options to finish the season in the top half of the table.
Not popular I know but HNM impact is minimal in terms of goals and assists.
Also if Williams and James fit will he play anyway.
Massengo he is probably one of the best team players we have, he is young, he has potential, he is getting better and better week in and week out, he still needs time but he is a future worlds class footballer that is going to go along way in his career. We are lucky to have him. I would not be shocked if he actually gets a goal today. Are you saying Massengo, Bakinson etc are only worth a few million ?
are you saying Messango impact on games is minimal ? I think if you do not have enough money to visit BS3 I understand but if you are watching City play and Massengo who is a delight to watch then I hope you have enough money to updated your tele to watch him

Absolutely disgusting and certain people deserve the death penalty brought back
I just read up on the tragic death of the young lad and the events leading up to it. I found it quite shocking. I have two grand children 5 and 10 so those of us lucky to have had our own kids and now grand parents only brings home worse fears that the young lad must of went through.
How in hell can people responsible for young children do this. I hope than someone like another relative can get to the two that did this horrible thing and do the right think before they got locked up.

Well Hull will find it difficult up against Millwall next. Millwall have drawn their last 3 on the trot up against clubs higher than them. Both clubs have potential this season but I say Millwall will win this one.

I’m boring….taking one game at a time.
It is always good to get points in the bag of what everyone thinks is enough points to be safe. Taking one game at a time is my way of thinking also

I sent a text to a gas mate at half time saying “Albania 5-0 down at half time, didn’t that happen to a team around here recently?” - the reply was incredible, just vitriol and abuse and highlighting City defeats recently - they really don’t possess any sense of humour at all do they? The stress of being in a crap division, with a crap manager, a crap stadium and crap players must be really getting to them ...
hahaha, the way we are going the only thing we may have better than them is a great built stadium that has no atmospher

I did not say LJ failed here as a manager, but the problem that GJ and LG both had was managing the bigger players, with big egos whom had played at a higher level
It appears not much has changed then with bringing in NP.

Just read Bristol Post ratings for yesterday and it says pretty much everyone played well. Even handed out an 8 to Pring. I only listened to the match on the radio but are the marks generous? If not, how did we end up losing?
There would of been some personal good performers by one or two. However none played well enough to get over a six in this championship league.
Do not forget the opposing team only had ten players and we had eleven players. Our players can not perform at this level week in and week out.

Whilst performances are not what I expected from a NP team and yesterdays capitulation was an all time low, we have to recognise it was a patched up team missing a lot of starters and experience, hopefully with a 2 week break we can see the return of these players. As long as NP health is OK to continue and we show signs of improvement by xmas, then see no point in changing. However if going into the January transfer window performances have not improved and NP is not able to demonstrate how he can change it with the window, then plans must be place to make a change.
Whilst Lowe is doing an excellent job, its very different stepping up to manage players who have played at a higher level, some with massive egos and are on big money contracts, this is where GJ & LJ failed, its easier when you have a bunch of hungry players wanting to get the league than those happy to just take the money
Hate to say it now but did LJ actually fail. What has got better at the club ????

I can’t imagine Nigel Pearson agreeing to a short break, to allow someone else to sort out the team, but I can imagine Neil Warnock agreeing to a six months contract. Then he could finally retire. With Nigel he would have to be in or out, not some hybrid arrangement
Most probably any manager worth a grain of salt at this present time would want to manage us where the majority of our players are over paid and under performing.

I believe the players are fit enough, the problem is the mental side of their game. I've responded to other posts that there is a clear psychological problem with the players that is not being addressed. This goes back to LJ, DH and now NP. You can see from body language, facial expression, decision making etc that they are a long way off psychologically. The team ability is mid-table at best but currently under performing and without a clear psychological strategy we will have to hope there are 3 teams worse than us.
The players get paid extremely well. There is no excuse that psychological problems are the issue. Let us hope there are three teams at the end of the season worse than us that under perform on the pitch most weeks throughout the season.
Psychological speaking every one does and perform well when things are going good all round either at home or at work and when all goes good mentally this brings results in everything you do.
I think it is lack of commitment and willing to want to win by some of the players for the full 90 minutes is the issue and dare I say it do we actually have the manager to fix it.

With all the late equalisers/winners and lack of tracking back or some might say ‘general effort’. Does anyone else wonder about this new fitness regime we are under? When the body tires, so does the mind, it might explain the switching off late in games. Apparently fitter than ever, can jump vertically better than Peter Rabbit etc etc. Now the injuries are seemingly creeping in again as well. Just a thought. COYR
I just watched the highlightes. Wow we did play some good football at times. Wow we also played negative football at other times. We had 11 and they had 10 men. Wow over all we should of one. Wow I feel dissapointed for the 3,000 that traveled and watched it.
Wow how many points do you think we need to have in the bag to stay up in this Championship this season.
Wow NP might have our players fitter than ever but it has made no difference.
At the end of the day the team is lacking in quality and can not play the full 90 minutes and injury time if any.

Only one team had a coherent pattern of play.
Only one team looked like they had a plan when in possession of the ball.
And it wasn't us.
At home. To bottom of the league Barnsley.
Forget the result. Everything else about today screamed relegation.
Just watched the highlites and I agree Barnsley were the coherent team however we showed some spirit today which was above and beyond what we have seen of late. Determination and great fan support got us over the line.
A win is a win and what I watched did not scream out relegation material too me.

I was at West Brom, believe me there were a fair few that wernt. "youre not fit to wear the shirt" was clearly audible on a few occassions as a starter for ten.
If that is a true fact then it is very unfortunate . Sad in a way but I can understand many fans feelings at the moment

I keep seeing that rebuilding project people talk about. I don't know why people seem so confident in us staying up. Unless people don't mind us rebuilding in league one!?
Looks that way again and again and again

Old east end ender. Looks like a good bet to me unfortunatly .
Sorry to say it but if we do not get at least four points out of our next four matches then I bet the posts go crazy in regards to NP going forward and him seeing out the rest of the season. Hope it does not get to that stage but I see it boiling away in the background.
