WHY is it in our day and age, if anyone is injured it is always someone else’s fault?
In the case of young Kyle Thorpe (Daily Echo, July 16), they admit he slipped on the stones in the play area, so they were not to blame. But today, someone must be at fault.
When I was a young lad, the young son of a neighbour was killed on the swings in the playground at Bitterne, but there was never any criticising of the swing.
How things have changed. I would like to ask the Echo, or its readers, if they could name a children’s playground or a sport of any kind that is 100 per cent safe? I believe there is no such thing. This is life.
