Comments from the Campbells


1.When Maurice Childs died Thalia colour photocopied all the family
photographs left in the house. She then gave copies of all of them then
shared the originals among the five children.
2. Spencer Childs had taken all the family photographs which should have been
shared among the five children,he was a photographer and was to have
developed the negatives and copied the originals.Both Lilian and Maurice
had this understanding with the five children.
He then sent Thalia CDs of some of the photographs, at no time were they
his property, he had taken them of the strict understanding with
Maurice and Lillian (when found out) that he would copy and share them
equally among the five children.
3. At no time was he in ownership undisputed of the originals.
4. At no time was he given an "assurance" about the photographs of the
generations.
5. All families have "family secrets", if only for medical reasons and
the Human Rights of the children they have an absolute right to know who
is their biological mother or father.
6. "Bright blaze of publicity" remember Jonathan Aitken, he harvested
what he sowed.
7. "This public space is far safer for me to make my points", it adds
another dimension to an important social document.
8. The rights of the male offspring to dictate family policy is long out
of date, and is unlawful under the Equal Rights Legislation and the
European Declaration of Human Rights.
9. Possession confers no copyright to property which should under the
terms of the wills should have been shared equaly among the five children.

CLIMB DOWN (after family intervention )

"I've not meant to imply that you cannot use my photographs derived from Maurice's negatives. Please feel free to use them on your BCG site. I'm sorry if that was not clear, I realise that would be a major part of your site". Spencer 18.08.09
