Quick! Call Social Services and Health & Saftety. That youngster is within inches of a blazing fire, with no fireguard!

Merry Christmas to you and everyone on the group!

Plus the RSPCA - dog doesnt look too happy about something either.

Cheers, Simon

I had the misfortune of caring for a nine year old boy burned over 60% of his body due to the lack of a fire guard and pajamas not treated with retardant. This was at a USAF hospital in Wiltshire in 1962 or 1963. I did

But how many kids at that time were *not* burnt due to the lack of a fire guard, how many kids would now not learn of/understand such dangers simply because the do gooders now have every kid wrapped up in cotton wool all the time - to the extent that kids are still involved in accidents, some due to circumstances that would have been unheard of in the 1950s or '60s. I'm not dismissing the fact that some kids were seriously injured in the past, and some unfortunately died, but the same still happens, often for the most stupid of reasons simply because no one (parents nor child) are now using common sense, the 'do gooders' having suppressed much of it with over bearing regulations. Also note that the parent(s), in the URLs image, are actually in the same room as the kids (who whilst young, are not babies or toddlers), something that is also often lacking these days.

Anyway, seasons greetings to all, may everyone's modelling in
