Re: Its So Sad!
No, of course not MH. We can't lock our kids up or even follow them around all day so that we know exactly where they are and what they are doing. Mine leave for school at 8am and I see them again in the evening. This week the earliest I see Mimi is about 6:30 because she's doing work experience and then gets picked up from there at 5 o'clock and goes off for an hour to a class/study group and is then delivered home.
Most of us trust that our kids are where they say they are - but it's a sign of the times that schools are aware that a lot of children set off for school in the morning, even get there for the register and then beggar off for the day. Mimi noticed that when they make their own way to the Sports Centre once a week some of the kids don't bother and decide to 'go shopping' instead.
Perhaps some of the parents of those on the website don't give a flying fig what their children are up to, but maybe some of them are under the misapprehension that their children are where they think they are and doing what they think they are doing and seeing them on this site would come as a bit of a shock. They are the ones who would probably welcome the revelation so they could do something about it. Ignorance of a situation may well be bliss but it doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.
To think my Granny used to worry about me being 'up on't coits' . She'd have kittens if she knew what some kids do these days.
