All of the people that are having a bad say about Keran, they are completly wrong i must say.... Keran Henderson is a kind loving woman that as you can see and have probably heard has worked with children for a long time and would never do something as cruel as this!
As one woman has said as i have read through all of these reports, havent the judges or jurers or who-ever asked the children what they had seen on the day of the incident?
Well obviosly not! They should

James L, Iver Heath, Bucks, England

I have just spent my evening reading through the different newspaper reports on this truly sad story and even with the mixture of reporting arguing both sides, I am sure that there has been a miscarriage of justice for Keran and baby Maeve's family. There are so many unanswered questions and so many things pointing to other possibilities as to what could have happened. As they say, There but for the grace of god go I. Lets pray that none of us are ever in the unfortunate position to have our freedom taken away with such little evidence and I hope I never have to put my faith in our so called justice system when it is quite clearly all weighted in one direction. Good luck to Keran's family and friends, I hope that someone in authority sits up and takes notice. An overhaul of the British Justice system is long overdue in many areas and this highlights yet another.

Lack of professionalism & no integrity ,if any of the people supporting this woman, ie: protesting her innocence ,if it was your child you would expect the same sort of justice .
It's mainly the "Iver Heath Trinny & Suzanna Club " putting their five cents worth in .There is a house on the Slough road that has been turned into a freak show display showing support for this baby killer .How must the the Sheppard family feel having to still have to go about their daily routine when they are made to feel like the victims by a bunch of parochial inbreds .

First and foremost it is a terrible tradegy what has happened, the loss of a baby's life. But there has to be some radical change in our laws in convicting innocent women in these circumstances. Emotions run high. How many more innocent women are going to be convicted of a similar crime only to be revoked and new evidence found some time later ?

I hope there is an early appeal for Keran - my sympathy goes to the Sheppards and also Keran's family too ........ I hope the family can eventually find some solace with whats hapened but I do believe in reading and listening to this case that unequivacably this woman is the victim of a set of circumstance that cannot be revoked but she is innocent

Joanne Cantor, London, UK

Re. the conviction of the childminder for shaking baby Maeve Shepperd,.. Some babies, whose parents were wrongly accused of harming them, had been prescribed the (now withdrawn) drug CISAPRIDE/PREPULSID to prevent vomiting. This contained benzene-related chemicals which could cause babies to suffer breathing problems, cot death or cardiac arrest. The BNF reference book which GPs prescribe from, lists 200 prescribed drugs as causing blood thinning & low blood counts. This can cause bruising & bleeding - which can falsely give symptoms of shaking a baby. All relevant cases of alleged harm should be
investigated to find if these infants were prescribed a
benzene-related medicine.

keran henderson would never do anything like this to any one....

SHE IS INNOCENT CANT YOU SEE!!

James .L., Iver Heath, England

Can this paper check pleaseeeeeeeee to see if this child received any vaccines in the days before this incident??
I do not have their address to check and would not disturb them, but it a chance and could bring justice.

I say this because it does happen to babies because of ingredients in vaccine.

But self professed experts are covering for pharmaceutical companies.

heck out thinktwice vaccines

Lilith Barrett, London., UK

When it comes to to understanding the human body - scientists are only scratching the surface. For goodness sake they have not even come up with a cure for the common cold. Why is it then many individuals put so much faith in these so called experts.

Keran has never shown anything in her personality that she is possibly capable of 'snapping'. She is an amazingly loving kind and warm person.

Meenu Baker, Hemel Hempstead, UK

My little girl was there at the time Maeve fitted - and had been on all previous occasions. Anyone who knows Keran knows that she is not capable of this crime - and yet again our British justice system has failed us. Keran is a CARER not a KILLER.

A mother, Gerrards Cross, UK

A total miscarriage of justice. This is NOT in Keran's nature, she was helping a sick baby and happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This baby could have died anywhere - it was ill. Where Keran's children taken away from her if she was liable to just 'snap'? - No they weren't. Obviously she is NO RISK whatsover and her reaction in court was real - she is INNOCENT. Please fight to release her.

Helen, East Riding of Yorkshire,

Quite shocking to read this in the news and left me with a heavy heart. It is saddening for everyone involved. It does also bring one glaring fact to light, for all those who are and would like to be in childcare as it is such a rewarding career, would be really apprehensive after reading such news!! In a system where there are so many incentives towards these professions it is no surprise why so less people are actaully in teaching and childcare!!

Vineet Kaur, London, U.K.

Who decides these people are experts anyway? Why were the other children who were in her care at the time not asked to give evidence?! And why were the poor baby's previous fits not taken into consideration? Very much a miscarriage of justice.

Melissa, Buckinghamshire,

Most people don't realize that hundreds of people around the world have told the identical story Keran did, people with sterling character, reputations and histories. How could so many people "snap", some just a few minutes after being observed by others to be unstressed? "Experts" continue to maintain that the ONLY possible explanation for the symptoms is shaking, despite the fact that at least three natural causes are known. I strongly suspect there are natural causes that are as yet unknown to science. It concerns me greatly that no one is investigating that possibility, that officials are content to accuse and imprison on the basis of medical opinions in the absence of ANY other evidence of abuse. There are cases where children have come to hospital, been admitted, then collapsed 16 hours later and died, with the "telltale" SBS symptoms. Yet "experts" continue to say the last person with the child is the only possible perpetrator. This IS a travesty of justice a la Sally Clarke!

Susan, Anchorage, Alaska USA

I believe we have another travsity of justice. Keran had been worried about the baby and was going to ask her parents to take her away. I also wonder who else had access to shake Maeve if as I believe Keran did not. Maeve's mother also stated during the trial that she did not believe Keran was guilty. We have yet again so called experts disagreeing with one another so how can one person be convicted. I believe our legal system is no better than some third world countries. God help Keran

Pat , slough, berks

Total Miscarriage of Justice, Keran is one of the most trustworthy and Community focused people I know and if you knew her, know she was not capable of such a hideous crime.

I would not hesitate even now for Keran to run the local cubs & beavers again or look after my two young children.

My Heart goes out to Maeve's family for their great loss, but please spare a thought for Keran and her family also suffering!

Daryl Maskell, iver heath, Bucks

I hope this isn't another miscarriage of justice a la Sally Clarke, Trupty Patel et al.

I feel very sorry for all parties involved in this case.

However, my gut reaction - and I feel I have to say this - is that if more couples took responsibility for looking after their own children, instead of trying to 'have their cake and eat it', we wouldn't keep seeing cases like this in the news.

Mrs Sheppard should have given up work on having a family. Sorry, but these are my firm beliefs. You have children, you look after them.

Darren, Rathfriland, Northern Ireland

Did the police interview the 8 year old children that was there the whole time? No. I say no more!

Caroline Snoch, Stoke Poges, Bucks

Is this another rubbish jury verdict without forensic evidence. there are too many wrong verdicts turning up in the British system, A 10 to 2 majority should give the defendant the benefit of the doubt, ruining someones life on dubious evidence does not do anything for the so called victim or justice.

dave, Stoke,

Very depressing story of course, but I'm also left with a sense of unease. Victim impact statements leave little room for grace, responsibility, or expressions of forgiveness and as such I find they have an adverse effect.

I guess it's possible that a mature, experienced and highly regarded childminder 'just snapped' but who knows.
