Summary (103 words):
Mourning mother Kim Mordue has used the ashes of her son in a tattoo, in order to keep him with her wherever she goes. Lloyd Evans, her son, died three years ago by an accident with GHB, a very notorious party drug. Ms Mordue wanted to keep her son with her all the time. She also has said that she wanted him “to go back where he started, he's in my body again.” The tattoos were made by her husband David who has his own tattoo shop. Kim Mordue hopes she also succeeds in raising more awareness about the dangers of drugs.
Own opinion (104 words):
I found this article very moving, but at the same time a bit morbid. I understand that she loved her son very much and she still does. But tattooing his ashes into your own flesh?! That is a bit far-reaching. I also have my doubts about the health part of this tattoo. I mean, doesn't our body repel everything that they recognize as being part of somebody else' body? I understand why she did it, and I am sure that she gave this a good thought, but I still think that she should have thrown the ashes out over the ocean or something similar.

John Terry issues apology after reprimand from Fabio Capello
Summary (109 words):
John Terry, former captain of the English football team, has issued an excuse to Mr Fabio Capello, who accused Terry of showing a lack of respect to him and his team-mates. Fabio Capello has stated that there is tension within the English Squad. Capello wanted apologies from Terry, because he Capello always has his door open for anyone on the squad to speak out his problems or his issues and John Terry did not do this. But he did discuss it in the media, and especially as the leader/captain of the English national squad, he should have not done that, but he should have discussed it with the coach.
Own opinion(94 words):
I think that Fabio Capello was correct with saying that John Terry made a mistake when Terry did not go to Capello with his issues but rather discussed them openly in the media. Especially Terry, because he is captain, should know better. John Terry should have known that it is better to discuss his grudges with his team-mates and his coach, than with the mass-media. He especially should have discussed his issues with Ashley Cole, as it was a remark about him that made Fabio Capello say that John Terry made a big mistake.

Priests molesting small boys (speakers corner)
Every now and then, there are uproars in the media all over Europe, but sadly enough these are not good ones. These are about catholic priests sexually abusing under aged boys. This has happened numerous times now, and there isn't much being done about it in the church. Well, they are taken into custody by the police and are punished by law for their actions, but they are not excluded from working in church ever again. Apparently abusing someone who cannot defend him or herself is not bad enough to be banned forever from working in a church.

Personal opinion: I think that people like this are mentally ill, and people that are mentally ill should be helped to deal with their mental illness. The society should offer them help to solve this problem. If they are able to overcome their problems then they should be able to get back into the society. I think that everybody deserves a second chance, even when they do something as bad as molesting a under aged boy. Some of them need help to overcome their problems. My question: should people who did this get a second chance?
