We all agree that our children should have the maximum protection which is possible, without hindering the general enjoyment that a parent, grandparent etc gets from watching their youngsters take part in sport activities, school plays etc.
But isn't this preoccupation with the thought that a paedophile is lurking around every corner now getting in the way of these sporting activities etc taking place, both for the child's benefit and that of their families?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have to agree anotheoldgit, it does seem an over the top response to a possible threat. Why not introduce invitation cards to such an event as would occur at a garden party. There is also the possibility of getting some of the teachers from the schools involved to patrol the grounds whilst the event is taking place.

I must agree with ano. I think that there is a preoccupation with children being abused or abducted...yet it does not stop parents neglecting their children..allowing them to run ferral etc. I would like to see more money and energy going into training on how to parent effectively.
Children are apt to abused more at the hands of parents than paedo's.
