I do think that child neglect is a very important issue, and it often goes unnoticed which I always try and give to <a href="http://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">childrens charities</a> if I can especially at those times of the year when family is emphasised.

I am black and have never understood the concept of sunburn till my friend who is very white had to leave the beach after fifteen minutes and got sick and couldn't sleep because of the pain, so if I didn't have this experience and I got it accidentally wrong with my child who is fairer than I'll get reported to social services? Also sun cream is very dear for some and you apparently have to check the sale by date so those who cannot afford it and buy the cheaper stuff than they could be putting themselves at risk? And then I hope the Government will have guidelines to which brand of suncream to use and which they shouldn't. So then I could turn round and say maybe if the world is not so polluted then the ozone layer would today be in a better state and my child would have been better protected so if they sue anyone than the Governents should be sued to in that case..Do they want children shrouded in clothes? A hat is always necessary but sometimes it's hot and than it's not so you need to carry a hat around you at all times or else? Also there are mothers out there who genuinely don't get it right. So then if you miss a bit on a child or a child removes the cream then we'd need to worry. I hope they know that you can't spend a day out with your child at the school if the school knows the social services have been in contact with you even if they were happy that things are okay the school might know about it. The other thing is it took me about eight months from the moment I took my child to the dentist for a rotten tooth to the surgery to take it out because of bad hospital paperwork and going from pillar to post because the details where in different places so really I could have sued the hospital for neglect and hurt feelings on behalf of my child because his mouth smelled foul, if I wanted to, if they are happy to make strict rules for others... As with smell some children smell naturally, it is true that it could be a sign of neglect too but I hope the mother can be spoken to and helped financially etc. before the services are contacted. Maybe she can't afford the water bills. I do understand that there are also well off families who do not wash their children for some reason or other but I hope people would see what the underlying problem is and carry the help through with the parents rather than running to social services.

All this nonsense needs to stop.... parents will now be in fear of taking their kids for any Doctor check ups if their child has a bit of a tan etc as all this over the top nanny state nonsense puts the fear of God into many parents due to a fear of the state taking their kids away from them. What next, taking your kids off you, if you let them out in the sun at all just in case sun rays are one centigrade over a certain temperature which then amounts to abuse!!!!!???? This is what we get when we let liberal minded far left wing loony's take over our country. More of the Nanny state gone mad!
