Big brother gone mad: mother barred from taking own son to school

A mother from Wales has been banned from escorting her severely epileptic young son to school in a taxi provided by the local council until she has a CRB check, because "Any adult acting as an escort will, in the public gaze, be viewed as acting with the full acquiescence of the council and hence with its implied authority," according to the council, and they just can't let any parents go escorting their own children around the countryside without some kind of council stamp of approval first.

When did the local council's 'authority' over a child trump a parent's?

How has the world ended up this crazy and bureaucratic?

  • Well, it is the U.K. after all. The country/nation has degenerated into a socialist state. It is a travesty!

  • There is no common sense anymore..So now we are to assume that anyone w/ a child is up to no good? This is insane..They are way over the top in the U.K...I just hope it doesn't make it's way here..But it could so don't say you weren't warned.

  • what's a CRB check? I'd like to say this is too frigging bizarre to believe, however, sadly i admit we live in a insane world. Gov't are way out of control & common sense seems to be a lost art!
