'I was out of it on one lager,' says mother of baby who suffered 40 per cent burns in the sun on Brighton beach
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1281274/Mother-badly-sunburnt-baby-says-mortified.html
A mother in Brighton left her baby in the sun, with the result that the baby suffered forty per cent burns. The baby was brought to the hospital after other people made the police aware of the fact that the baby boy had blisters all over his legs. Eyewitnesses say that the mother seemed drunk and not aware of the fact that she left her baby burning in the sun. The case is brought to the police and other authorities. The mother and her husband say that they are mortified about what happened to their baby, but point out that the mother is not irresponsible or bad for the baby. She just drank one lager and was feeling sick because of the sun. What they want to do now is bring up their son and put this whole nightmare behind them.
I believe that what the mother did was totally irresponsible and not mother like at all. When you bring your baby to the beach, and it is hot and sunny, you know that you need to cover him up. Secondly, it is, in my opinion, totally irresponsible to drink when you are alone with your baby. Nobody else that she knew was around to pay attention, so she had the full responsibility. I think this is a lack of parenting and I think it is only fair to give the mother a warning or another punishment so that next time, she will act like an adult.

Two Arrested Over Teenager's Death in Wigan Pond
Two arrested over teenager’s death in Wigan Pond
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/england/manchester/10194856.stm
A seventeen-year-old boy, named Dylan Aaron, died in a pond in Wigan, Greater Manchester. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder. The man, aged 26 and 34, have also been held on suspicion of assault. Greater Manchester Police said that his body was recovered from the pond by a police underwater search team, because other methods failed to trace him. The family is in great pain and gave a statement which said: ‘’He was a young man with a promising future and all of us will miss him dearly, especially his brothers and sisters’’. The investigation is still in a very early stage because there are many questions which need to be answered. The police are asking to contact the officers if there is anyone with information about the incident.
I think that what has happened is extremely tragic. The police are still in the early stage of investigation because there are many questions which still need to be answered. In my opinion, they need to hurry up with the investigation because if the family knows what has happened to their son, it gives a sense of peace and they can accept it and go on with their lives. If there are still many questions which need to be answered, there is a feeling of insecurity and not knowing what has actually happened is very disturbing. I do think that the police are doing everything that they can.

Hello Burglar!
Playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn greeted by burglar
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/north_yorkshire/8676079.stm
A court has heard that a man broke into Sir Alan Ayckbourn’s home and exchanged greetings with him before steeling his possessions. The thirty-one-year-old burglar, Anthony Kelly, was looking for valuables inside Sir Alan’s house in Scarborough when he saw the writer. He greeted the writer and he was able to carry on and walked through the house. Sir Alan had assumed that Kelly was visiting a member of his staff and he did not think anymore of it until later when he discovered that some items were missing. These items include expensive jewelry from his wife and other valuables. The burglar pleaded guilty to all charges. He had also admitted another burglary and a charge of handing stolen goods. He was sentenced to jail for eighteen months.
I think this is a very strange story. You are in your house, you see a stranger that greets you and you think it is all fine and safe. Sir Alan assumed that the burglar was visiting a member of his staff, so he trusted him and did not think anymore of. This is weird, because he was actually facing a burglar in his own home. I do not understand why you trust a stranger in your house. He obviously has no reservations whatsoever when it comes to his own security or the security of his staff. If I were him, and one member of my staff wanted to invite somebody to my house, I wanted to know that beforehand. In my opinion, Sir Alan was a bit to ignorant at that moment.

No Birthday Cake
Nurseries Ban Children From Having Birthday Cake
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7705478/Nurseries-ban-children-from-having-birthday-cake.html
A string of nurseries have banned children from eating cake or sweets to celebrate birthdays. There is a new health initiative, called the ‘Pre-School Nutrition Project’, which sets out strict rules for nurseries. One rule is that sweets or cakes, which are brought in for children’s birthdays, cannot be eaten in the nursery, but must be handed to the parents at the end of the day. Proponents say that it is good to encourage nurseries to provide healthy snacks and treats for all the children in their care. The effect will be that the children, later in life, would prefer a healthier snack. Critics say that it is fantastic goal to encourage nurseries to provide healthy snacks, but banning sweets on birthdays is taking it too far.
I definitely agree with the critics. On the one hand, I would encourage nurseries to provide healthy snacks and treats for the children, because it helps the children to make better food choices later in life and they learn why it is better to eat a healthy snack than an unhealthy snack. On the other hand, a child’s birthday is one of the most important events of the year. Every child wants to celebrate their birthday at school and every child loves blowing out candles on their cake. In my opinion, it is a bit selfish to take that away from them. Banning sweets and cake on birthdays is definitely taking it too far. Therefore, I agree with the critics.
