I wondered what people's views are regarding the general behaviour of children on campsites, following the tragic death of the very small child at Rowntree Park CC site in York last week........we don't have children with us anymore but certainly don't mind well-mannered youngsters having fun around sites, even making a bit of noise within reason as that's what children do, but we HAVE noticed an alarming tendency for people to leave extremely young children totally unsupervised on bikes / scooters / skateboards / just running and flailing wildly about, invading other people's space / pitches, causing a general nuisance, and of course, the ever-present safety issues.
Campsites for tuggers / M/Homes have lots of vehicles coming and going all the time, and access roads to my mind are not really the best place to leave unsupervised small children whizzing about on cycles / playing games etc, esp when unsupervised while parents hide behind several windbreaks knocking back booze or just talking and not being vigiliant about their kids. :Confused:
Not sure exactly what the circumstances are re York , but the Brigade of Anti-4x4ers are already baying for blood against of those of us reckless enough to dare to drive a 4x4 as 4x4 drivers are allegedly to blame for most things.
I wonder what it is that makes parents think that offspring can simply be "left" unattended despite potential danger, and then blame someone else when tragedy strikes.........
