dont blame you mate,
we just have to thank our lucky stars that we lead our kids up the right path.
with respect RIP Georgia xx
With a nice name like hers ,who could spell it wrong!!!!

i know this man personally and know this man would never hurt anybody intentionally,the accident has really affected him deeply and i feel he is just being made a scapegoat,my heart goes out to georgias family [ RIP GEORGIA ]

totally agree with you wellie111,this man was doing his job and i reckon if anybody else was in his situation they would have made the same decision as he did!!yes it was the wrong decision but he still should not be punished!!

My heart goes out to her parents x a very tragic accident
but when my daughter was 16 she was not allowed out at that time unless I knew all the details of where she was, who she was with and made sure I picked her up at an agreed time. yes she did have a drink when she was that age and got a bit drunk, most teenagers do at that age, but I always knew where she was I feel so sorry for the guy on trial as he was only doing his job and lets face it at that time off night in the city centre train stations there are lots of drunk people, the poor guard is only human! accidents happen Rant over.

I think that it is totally out of order that his address has been given out by the press all it takes is one nutter and we could have another tragedy

I am deeply ashamed to be British with the way our "justice" system handles cases like this.

A 14 year old boy who raped a 4 year old girl he was babysitting has just been allowed to walk free from court. Thousands of muggers, rapists, wife beaters and worse get lenient, if any, sentences every day across this country.

This poor guard did what he felt was right at the time. He perhaps assumed that Georgia would move away from the train, that her "friends" who had allowed her to become so off her face in the first plce would move her, that a passer by would intervene - who knows.

He already has to live with the what if's of the situation - that in itself is punishment enough for any man with a conscience.

I am not trying to take away from the fact that a beautiful young girl lost her life far too early and that her family will never get over this tragic accident - but that is all it should be classed as. A tragic, tragic accident which occurred after a chain of events for which no one person should be held solely accountable.

RIP Georgia and I sincerely hope that the courts do the right thing and allow the guard to try to piece his life back together after what he has had to witness and live through since that tragic day xx

well said Brittone15

Disgusted that they have given his address out its one rule for one and one for another in this country lets give all the peadophiles addresses out that have commited crimes NOOOO!!!! Cos theres to many of them dirt b******s but put a poor mans adress outwho has not yet been convicted i thought it was innocent until proven guilty tragic tradgedy in my book and if it wasnt christopher on gaurd duty that night another gaurd would most prob done exactly the same

totally agree coco n co I just hope justice is done and he gets found not guilty

The train guard probably wont get convicted of manslaughter but more likely will have the health and safety book thrown at him.

Looking at the photos though, she was the only girl on the platform at the time,touching the windows, he shouldnt have let the train go when she was anywhere near it.

He is being used as a scapegoat.

There was a chain of responsibility for Georgias welfare. Her parents, her friends, the lady whose house she was drinking in and who suggested she should get a taxi home before they even left for Liverpool, the people who sold the train ticket to her, anybody at all who saw her very drunk on the platform, yes and the guard.

It's ridiculous and stinks of people looking for a scapegoat, to charge 1 man with this beautiful girls manslaughter.

There are lessons to be learned by all of us from this incredibly tragic incident.

This stinks, so what is it to be now then? I can do anything i want, get pissed take drugs and not be responsible for my own actions and cause untold misery so long as some other muggins is around to take the blame for me? Blame and claim culture Britain at its worst.
