People and your kids safety ?
 
I am getting peed off with other peoples ideas if whats acceptable, I don't wrap mine up in cotton wool but some of the things people do astound me,

Today, my middle lad riding on the back of a full size quad, without a helmet, I would be very reluctant to take anyones child on a quad, but without a helmet is mental.

Carrying 5 kids and two adults to the cinema in a Fiat Cinquecento.

Carrying kids in a Saab 9-5 Aero with tyres so bald there was no evidence of a tread pattern.

At this weekends cub camp, the leader though playing football on a field that had a broken manhole cover, with cracked concrete and exposed rebar was acceptable for 14 8 to 11 year old boys, he is a good leader and I appreciate his dedication but kids but I decided to stand in the hole to stop the likely crash into the hole.

IMHO the more kids you pack in the less damage done....
I had a lovely neighbour who would fill her VW fastback with seven kids for a trip to the swimming baths, no belts in those days !

Get your point tho'.

Pulled up next to a nice looking Jag XJ on a private plate on Friday. newish car i suspect.

Driver in his 40/50 not wearing a seatbelt.
Boy in front maybe 12 not wearing seatbelt
Gril in back maybe 10 not wearing seatbelt

Likely kids grandad, may father - no consideration for the kids or the danger. Tantermount to child abuse imho.

Saw in the paper today an irish couple had their kids taken off of them by algarve police and then to social services because they passed out drunk in the street - Parnets should face social services and an enbquiry as to wether they are fit to look aftet the kids when they get home.

Bad parents yusually produce bad kids and we all end up paying.

Rights not responsibilites

No boundraries imposed on parents or kids - they do as they like.

I agree with that J4CKO. I would be furious if i saw that sort of thing going on around my children. They should be allowed to learn about life and how to take care of themselves, but that is inviting trouble.
