I absolutely agree and I feel sad ...Hullo Scudder,<br /><br />I absolutely agree and I feel sad that such a special day was ruined by political correctness gone mad. You know I'm very interested in kids welfare and the best interests of children through the work on Children's Hearings.<br /><br />Decisions like this are absolutely NOT in the childs best interest and only breed fear and suspicion within children for anyone, ANYONE outside the family circle, fear which they will carry into adult life preventing or inhibiting openness, emotional maturity and establishing trusting relationships and teaching them to be adults who should fear any situation which cannot be controlled 100% and singularly failing to teach them to identify genuine safety risk.<br /><br />Most children you find who are at risk of abuse - and therefore in threatening situations will be abused by fellow family members in the childs own home or other familiar situation.<br /><br />As for protecting their 'human rights' I absolutely agree this is essential - but only where this does not negatively effect the rights of the majority. To foist this onto a situation such as a school sports day is ridiculous and that our 'powers that be' have allowed the situation to get so out of hand is unacceptable. There is no harm to anyones human rights if they accidentaly end up being photographed by someone who is innocently taking a shot of a loved one. In most cases they will be ignored or unrecognised by anyone later looking at the photo.<br /><br />If there are genuine fears they should be met by withdrawing any child who's parents feel they do not want photographs taken - they can still take part in class sports periods after all so are not being denied anything. If there are fears about safety then proper supervision should be provided or the event could be held as a ticket only event. <br /><br />It makes me absolutely bloody furious when situations like this arise and I completely agree with every point you are making here.<br /><br />I'm sorry that your {and others} right to fully enjoy this occasion and to have an innocent photo as a memento were needlessly affected in this way.<br /><br />You just spoiled my breakfast by the way, so thanks a pantload Scudder - even though it's not your fault.<br /><br />Grrrrrrrrrr.........Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.com
