1. Gerard Baden-Clay ‘not coping’ in prison.
Gerard Baden-Clay, who murdered his wife Allison in 2012, has broken down in tears in prison with reports “he is not coping.”
Seven News reports that Baden-Clay was working in the metal shop at Wolston Correctional Centre, when he broke down “sobbing uncontrollably”. Baden-Clay told prison staff his murder conviction is finally dawning on him and he is not coping with his life sentence.
The 46-year-old had to be assisted back to his cell as he claimed to be overwhelmed with the realisation of his reality.
Baden-Clay’s murder conviction was re-instated on August 31 after the High Court found the decision to downgrade the charge “was not based on evidence”.
He had been initially convicted of his wife’s 2012 murder by a jury but the conviction was downgraded to manslaughter when Queensland’s Court of Appeal judges found he may have accidentally killed her during an argument.
The Courier-Mail reports that the 46-year-old former real estate agent still wore his wedding ring, and was said to have several photos of Allison and him on his cell wall, including a wedding picture of the couple.

Oh dear Gerard baden clay is feeling a bit down - maybe, I don't know, don't murder anyone then you won't have to deal with the life sentence you so deserve!
Yes the poor bugger; maybe he might like a bit of a stint in Goulburn Jail and see what it's like 'sooking' his way out in 'the circle' meeting the 'Murphy' boys (Anita Cobby murderers) for coffee OR maybe he like to take a nice holiday in 'Long Bay' and compare notes with his pals over there. Oh you poor love Gerard, what have you done to deserve this !!!!!!!!
Yeah, my heart truly bleeds for the poor bloke...
So if girls as young as ten are unhappy with the way they look what are their mothers telling them
Yes! Why would these girls think they are meant to look any other way?!
Um, hello, pornography? It's much more likely that they've seen a picture or a video of a woman with an unrealistic vulva than it is that their mothers are telling them that what they have is unattractive. Mothers aren't generally in the habit of telling children that their genitals are ugly. That's the business of pornography.
I tend to agree. Having suffered from an eating disorder in the past (I'm now very average weight), I NEVER, EVER refer to my body/appearance in a negative way around my girls (despite how I might sometimes feel). We also do not tolerate any family or friends making ongoing comments about our children's looks, positive or negative. Children need to be children as girls they will have a lifetime of dealing with pressures about their looks, we should protect them from this for as long as possible.
What about the huge amount of advertising everywhere they look that tells them their appearance isn't good enough?
