What did I say the other day?

And now a report that a father spent the night in a cell after smacking his seven year old son once on the bottom for wandering away by himself in the dark.

Well what the fuck was he supposed to do? Shrug his shoulders and say ‘well, he’s old enough to make his own decisions’?

This just goes to show, it isn’t about the welfare of children, it’s about making sure that you can get all those nice stars on your annual departmental report. I think the Titanic was a 5 star vessel.
