   how many more children will die in this area because of silly pranks that go wrong. my own chidren have played near the roach and have told me of some of the mindless things they have done there without a thought about it . the thing is the children who live in my area have no amenetisy to keep them occupied in the holidays so they get board if the over 12 s had somethink to do these kind of things may not happen. my heart goes out to the family of this child. surly some of the funds we recived could go on finding them something to do. there would be less vandilism. ther would be less crimes that the police have to attend. these children need something to do.its seems that the people who make these decisions dont spend much time in places like darhill and the back of th moss to see wwhat is happening. there is enough money spent on older people here ie in comunity centres and such and these children are going to represent are comunity in the future. so come on spend some money on things for them to do like first aid courses and such. chidren norish from learning.please give them a chace to show what they can do.
