Ok I came in to this thread thinking what sort of snowflake is taking offence to a couple of Halloween posters, but having seen the posters in question I'm now thinking what sort of ****ing moron put those up in front of young kids. Completely inappropriate.

How (Kil)dare they put up such gory posters!

It's Halloween and the montessori staff went to Lidl and bought a few decorations!

jk23

They are way over the top for kids !! I was expecting a badly drawn picture of a witch on a broom!!

Jim Bob Scratcher

Is Jigsaw the head teacher there ?

Are Am Eye

Learning to count with Slashy the Serial Killer.
Come on kids, victim 1, victim 2, victim 3...

Spooky

branie2

Nightmare-inducing!

riffmongous

Rubberchikken

They look like something Hieryonmus Bosch (sp) might ha e painted.

Whoever thought they were suitable for small kids needs talking to. They'll have nightmares.

Jaysus. I was fully expecting some bulls1t thread of overreaction but that's horrible! I'd definitely make a complaint. Whoever put them up is obviously thick. Or sick maybe.

flaneur

Totally unsuitable martial for that age group.

Grim yeah I was another one expecting the faux outrage but it's completely inappropriate

Sam Quentin

THEY ARE SHÍTE SCARY

Canis Lupus

Inappropriate but hilarious nevertheless.

Definitely more suitably for Wexford.

Cheesus. :eek:

Uh it's halloween. What the feck do you expect. Nice pictures. We've already bred a generation of snowflakes with that crack. It's time to get real again.

whiskeyman

After that infamous RTE Prime Time expose on creches, I wouldn't be surprised if those aren't posters...

Widdershins

And a Montessori and all. I thought it'd be all nature studies and pine cones and fallen leaves. Flippin eck!

I don't mind if it's spooky but blood and freaky stuff isn't suitable for viewing by small kids, and it never was.

ThisRegard

He needs to have a word with management, the clowns, or take them down himself.

PandaPoo

I had this up in my old apartment, my son was 2 at the time. He didn't mind it, but obviously you'd have children who would be frightened of it.

Really stupid IMO, usually at that age it's crappy pumpkins and witches

Time to find a new pre-school. I woudln't be willing to leave my kids in a place where

1) Someone (likely just one person) thinks it's acceptable to put them up, and
2) the other staff didn't have the balls (or whatever ) to take them down.

Even if the one person is identified and removed, the other staff are clearly gutless if those posters were allowed to last a day in that environment.

Completely inappropriate for the age group.

So much so, it would raise serious questions about the management of the crèche.

They would just about be appropriate for a teenagers junior disco

Definitely. If I had a child attending I would demand them taken down there and then and also a letter of apology explaining why they felt those posters were suitable.

you're right, utter snowflake behaviour...
These images are totally appropriate for 2 to 4 year olds....
But why stop there, in babies and snr infants, we should start exposing children to snuff movies…’cause the world is a hard place…
By 3rd and 4th class we should expose them to ISIS beheading videos
By 6th class then should be able to handle rape videos…

If we don’t act urgently we are condemning a generation to be snowflakes :rolleyes:

bucketybuck

I think the kids will survive the pictures.

Not so sure they will be unharmed by the screeching from the parents though.

whisky_galore

Back in the day, we had a figure of a crucified, near-naked man in the classroom.

Akrasia

Now kids, for story time, lets learn about the texas chainsaw massacre

Friend of mine has her 4 year old child attending a montessori school in Kildare.

These are two posters currently up in the school to 'celebrate' Halloween.

Thoughts?

wtf

this is a joke surely

if not - I presume she asked for them to be taken down immediately.

I never felt that was a healthy thing for children to see, either.:mad:

MarkY91

As usual with an outrage thread, I was expecting to disagree with the OP but them decorations are extremely inappropriate. Who onceqrth though they were suitable

They're brilliant.

eviltwin

God help the kids coming around my street on Halloween night, this type of thing is all over the gaff. If the children in this school are upset of course remove them but I would say this is being driven by the parents and the kids are probably fine.

Widdershins

They're probably not too upset, I don't think it's good for them, mentally, to normalise such scenes though. In the same way they shouldn't be exposed to horror films. At least if the parents want to eliminate stuff like that they can choose not to take such young children trick or treating to streets/homes with similar decorations. There isnt a lot of choice if it's in their childrens Montessori school.

RobbingBandit

Could be trying to tell the parents your kids are chucky

So the parents went in and put up the decorations, wtf?

No, I'd say the parents are the ones who are upset and the kids probably aren't bothered.

I think they're deadly.

Great posters. I like the second one. If it had been hung better without the creases it might even look realistic as if it was a pane of glass with bloody hand prints.

I think the kids should do a project where they do drawings of their favourite serial killer.

RandomName2

Fine for 8 year olds, but 4 year old? I can't imagine who thought that would be a good idea.

"And in the following poster you can see a leg sticking out of a toilet." Toilets are scary enough at that age without throwing dismembered body parts into the mix.

On liveline there was a case a few months back of a primary school teacher from Kildare I think who was suspended and then sacked from his post.

One of the reasons was that he got the class doing a school project about a serial killer in America. Can't remember which serial killer in particular! Allegedly he would lower he blinds and turn off lights while he taught them.

He was on joe Duffy complaining of unfair treatment by his former employers.

pjohnson

I was half expecting this to be some rant about misogyny and "why always witches" or some nonsense but bloody hell that is a few notches too high for 4 year olds.

Hopefully they show them clips of The Walking Dead and people being torn apart to teach anatomy.

valoren

I think when you're at an age when you completely and utterly believe a bearded jolly old fat man personally delivers gifts to every child around the world in one night in December, that when their teeth fall out a fairy visits at night with cash, then I'm not sure posters of dismembered body parts and torture porn is appropriate for Halloween celebrations.

Malayalam

For those who are saying they are harmless and good craic, I doubt ye have children. It is amazing the little things that will make a small child white with terror and sleepless for ages. Even the thoughts of some weird odd things can be too much for some children, not because they are damn snowflakes, but because they are naturally more sensitive, introverted, gentle, and suggestible due to their vivid imaginations. Cop on.

angryIreGamer

bloody hell, what next - complaints about showing 3 year olds Mel Gibsons Passion of the Christ.

Nothing wrong here. Itll help the kiddies build character.

You don't have much experience with very many young kids do you.

Because you seem to think that they're all the same.
