I think it should be illegal for some people to have children. We have young S at the holiday program, he has a short fuse at the best of times but something told me that there was more to it then was on the surface. I asked him if there was any thing he was upset or worried about, I then gave him an example of when my grandfather got sick I started cting different. At that point he broke down and told me that his grandfather is sick and going to die, we talked about it for a bit and he said he felt better, I also suggested that he talkes to his mum about this.

Well his mum was not happy and asked us not to talk about the subject with him any more.

NOW he is the one that started to talk about it and his mum is trying to sweep it under the carpet, how is S meant to deal with it if his mum is trying to make out that nothing is wrong.

If we were all to take this "if you just ignore it, it will all go away" attertude what would the world be like?

The police man on the side of the road would just sit there with his eye's closed and say if I can not see no laws are being broken.

Or

The lifeguard turns around and stops looking at the pool and says if I can not see anyone in trouble nobody is going to be in trouble.

If I had children and they were going through the same thing as we all will at some point in time and an OSHC worker did the same thing for him or her I would be very happy that they are willing to take the time and that they really do give a fuck about the children in their care.
