Childproofing garden ponds.
In article , Paul Kelly
writes but the issue is not simply what you do with your own children, from the Dti site I quoted earlier: Only 18% drowned in their own gardens. 29% drowned while visiting, or being cared for, at a relative’s home. 10% drowned while their parents were visiting a friend’s home. The largest percentage (39%) drowned in a neighbour’s pond after wandering away from their own home or the home of the people they were visiting. I will take responsibility for my own children. I do not see why I should take responsibility for other people's. That's not to say I wouldn't help a child in distress - but I am not going to fill in my pond in case someone else lets their child wander round it unattended. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ |
