Schools closed nationwide because of the possible dangers to kids going to, coming from, and being at school on H&S grounds.
Kids therefore allowed to do as they please for the day, unsupervised in the main, with the tragic and needless consequences as is of this case.

These children should have been at school, supervised and out of the danger that they put themselves in.

My daughter and fellow pupils weren't allowed to go outside whilst at school, as the snow was deemed to be a danger to them.

More idiocy. The Boy has had a great time snowballing (at school). All kids want to be out in the snow. And it is dangerous  noooo:. Wrong sort of snow?

We all know that snow has its hazards. All I'm saying is that if it wasn't for these completely OTT H&S rulings regarding school 'snow' closures, this girl would still be alive this morning.

One of the other local secondary schools around here was closed on Monday in anticipation of snow!! eeek:
The streets around here were alive with the sound of yobinism all day long. evil:

So what you were saying, and the point was made on R4 this monring, that by closing schools on H&S grounds kids went out into the snow anyhow and some got killed, which would not have been the case if they had been at school in the first place.

But surely this was simply an accident. Ok it happened because she was not at school but she may have been just as likely to get killed crossing the road on her way home.

We will never be able to eliminate things like this happening

They sledged into a barbed wire fence on a bit of metal they had found. Sounds more like Darwin at work than H&s madness tome

This could have happened at the weekend, so the poor girl wouldn't have been at school anyway. It was a tragic accident, nothing more.

In this particular case YES!

Sounds like kids having fun to me...

We used to slide down the side of the local reservoir all year round on bits of old cardboard, metal, etc. and there was a cast iron spikey railing fence thing at the bottom... We had great fun!

Iused to go sledging at aplace outside Nottingham. At the bottom of the hill was a low wall with a 4 foot drop on the other side.

Bone jarring fun!

Well it didn't, and the snow may have all gone by the coming weekend.

This girl WOULD be alive this morning if the school hadn't been closed for H&S reasons, that's all I'm saying.
It's the irony of it all that's getting to me.
