Acutally this is PC/Nanny stae Uk gone bsolutely bonkers. I donot believe for one second every single parent has agreed to this ban. My kids would certainly not be takenpart in any sports day, If I was told I couldnot attend due to first claim they made, Health and Safety, then they changed thier tune, saying it was in case certain individuals whomight not be parent might be there also.

Oks while I understand, the safetyoff any child is paramount, but it is getting really ridiculous that this is evenhappening.

I don't agree with you often but I would agree with you here.

That is just outright ridiculous.

If your worried about security, make it a ticketed event, and check IDs.

How hard is that?

I have not seen anything with regards to this reported at National Level onthe news channel, Might have been reported on the local news channels.

Maybe someone whom lives in that area, who might be a member onheremightbe able to tellus all.

But no mention what so ever. This will probably be swept under the carpet like evrything else.

I guess that would be something that lawyers would need to look into. On that note, is there a particular law in the U.K. which gives power to the teaches over the parents. ?

I really don't know. That's why I asked the question! It seems that way because no parents said to hell with the idea and showed up anyway. I know I would have! If just to see how my children were being treated and what they were being told!

No, The authorities would have to be held to account if a child was abducted, but as per usual the authorities would try and pass the buck onto the parents for say signing a form saying thier child could participate inthe sports day.

I think tere would be a backlash if that happenned. But nothing amazes me in this country nowadays.

UK what a surprise, this is only 4 schools not all of them.
Yet another PC brigade stunt, punish the many to stop the few.
What makes me laugh is that for countless years schools have hosted sports days and not had abductions.
This is the lunatics that think paedophilia is a new thing, going overboard on basically telling us all there are nasty men ready to snap up your kids when your not looking.

Schools are now covered with CCTV, security guards, fences and stricter rules When I was a kid we had the playground next to a busy road and plenty of alleys leading off and guess what, not one kid went missing...or was paedophilia not fashionable back then?

To be honest sports days seem less likely an easy target for paedos, all the teachers are out in force, so are most of the parents and the kids are assembled into groups monitored closely.

I think paedophiles only need knock about parks or the beach for victims, and it isn't happening there either at the rate these hysterical do gooders are making out.
Overblown nonsense that is punishing everybody but the paedo's.

It's this over dramatized hype that makes us men get looks when walking with our kids, for the idiots that stare at men with kids, they are the kids dad,other relative or carer 99.999% of the time and if they are a paedo then the nasty look isn't going to deter the paedo anyway.

www.smh.com.au...
The numbers vary from country to country, but everywhere the likelihood of a child being snatched by a stranger is almost indescribably tiny. In Britain, a Home Office report states: "There were 59 cases involving a stranger successfully abducting a child or children, resulting in 68 victims." With 11.4 million children under 16, that works out to a risk of 1 in 167,647. (Note that the British and American numbers are based on different definitions and calculation methods; they aren't directly comparable.)


More, and it covers the idiots who dodge vaccinating children.

Exactly what I was thinking of. The parents should no obey these rules under no circumstances. What is the school to do if they attend? Have them arrested? This won't last. Nothing can keep pedophiles away. School administrations are idiots anyway and this further adds proof to that.
