Argh! Urge to kill rising...
A mother who goaded her toddlers to fight like dogs for a sick video said yesterday she could not understand what all the "fuss" was about.
Zara Care dismissed widespread disgust at her actions and claimed: "It's a tough world out there and they have to know how to stick up for themselves. You've got to learn to be strong." Care's tearful two-year-old son and three-year-old daughter were filmed begging for mercy as they were forced to punch each other. Despite expressing remorse in court, Care seemed unrepentant yesterday in her first interview since the case. She said: "I feel hard done by. We've had a real hammering from people. The way we see it, everyone's made a mountain out of a molehill. It's a lot of fuss over nothing." She insisted: "When we were kids we were always punching and kicking each other. My mum said it's just what brothers and sisters do and she's right. The kids were fighting normally and I just thought I would film it."
Ummm, my wrong-o-meter has just broken.
In an interview in The People newspaper, Care said she wanted to become a childcare worker "but the court banned me from working with kids".
Now that just seems sooooo unreasonable.
