The stupid rules in Britain seem to be affecting peoples brains in an unexplainable anti caring way imho > Boy at school stuck up tree Gotta feel something for the woman passing by accused of tresspass to!!!
That woman who helped the kid looks like she lives in the real world, unlike the OHS morons sitting in office blocks pulling new regulations out of a hat to justify their jobs. We've had similar things happen here (in AU), where elderly people in nursing homes have been left on the floor after a fall, because carers aren't allowed to lift anything over a certain weight. And passers by aren't allowed to help because they're "not qualified or insured"..
Agreed, personally I would have helped the lad like the lady did and stuck my fingers up at the authorities and lived with the consequences if that's how they want to play it! I may well have become verbally abusive in the womans shoes to from others/the schoools perspective to!
I get how you could say it makes sense Brandon - when I was a lad a weirdo tried to lift me out of our front garden and our German Shephard Dog seized him by the arm so he had to drop me back down, but there has to be lines crossed when things are right and the intention is good and not meant to harm. It is of course difficult to know where the lines are to be drawn!
if that happened here in the US, the teacher and school would get sued. the good samaritan would be praised and the school and teachers made to look like dicks.
I think the newspapers have made the teacher and school look like dicks on the womans behalf thb sawz
I just read the article and it sounds like that's what she did and she got snubbed. IDK with the 'lawsuit happy' system that is in place I could see someone implementing some stupid rules like that. =P But I don't think its common for schools in either country to be this asinine in their rules.
britian and laws have become absolutley crazy, what if he fell and broke his neck what would they say then. stupidity at best.
