7pm is deemed socially unacceptable for a 5yr old to be outside, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.
To judge parents who know they child and friends and area better than anyone is ridic IMO.
7 to one parent is another parents 5 or 9.
Something that has never settled with me is that he was known to the police and they were lookin for him from day 1?
Never read anything more on why he was known to the police? Seems my biggest concern- child missing oh let's go find mark!!?

We looked at 4 different primary schools before deciding which one to send Jake. Not one of them had a single male member of staff. Very sad, but understandable. The climate in Britain these days is such, that a man wanting to teach 6 year olds is immediately viewed with suspicion.
This is actually quite a problem now - because of the rise of single parent families there are plenty of boys who grow up with no male influence in their life at all - at home and at school the only adults they have any stable influence from are women. How are they going to learn how to be men? |

Can't believe ur all missing the point.. Point in question is would u let ur 5 year old child out without an adult in the near dark... Yes or no... Forget getting snatched etc...
In some situations, I think it is acceptable. It's an opinion... It's wrong but it's still an opinion... Some of you seem to think that a 5 year is a capable self sustaining being... It's not that's why your there to safeguard it from whatever danger or situation may befall it because by definition it cannot look free itself.. Can't even believe I'm having this conversation.. Just cos it walks and doesnt piss itself anymore you think it will be just fine looking after itself... U seem to make the same premise for a 5 year old as you do a 10 year old when the void is epic a) You're mad b) Please don't refer to children as 'it'. This is the preserve of mad people who are not as nice as you |

You are right about something, so there is hope yet. |

I was reading a copy of The Sun the other day. On one page they had a story about how it's irresponsible parenting to not supervise your kids at all times. And on the next page they had a story about new Dad Colin Furze who's built a pertrol powered pram to whizz his new baby to the shops and back. I lolled.
