Re: Sugar tax

The children have not been brought up to 'play out' for many years.
I suspect that parents have a lot to do with this...and yes, they do fear child molesters.
There are other pressures too....drug dealers target even very young children...and you do not want children to be exposed to such dangers.
I can really understand the fears that parents have and I am thankful that I grew up when I did....playing street games....running round, climbing trees.
Children of today have missed out, but they do not know they have missed out.
How sad!
