I suppose the kids having strange coloured hair is not a plausable reason for leaving them stranded? CC |

Quote: Mr Hickman, who is a self-employed wheelie bin cleaner, says he has been using the services of Metro Cars for a number of years. wheely? 1 thought leaving under-16's alone was a matter for social services? Quote: He has to leave for work early most days so has been sending the girls to school in a taxi for several months to make sure they get there safely.
why? if hes self empoyed doesnt he dictate his own hours? when i was a single dad i either arranged proper child care or worked between school hours |

He has obviously taken his NVQ... risk assessment..... two young children with no adult. they could unstrap themselves from the safety belts.... and they could distract him by being unruly... they could place him in a position where he might have to physically restrain one or two of them and then place himself in a position of being accused of everything under the sun...  .

Quote: “I am absolutely furious. The girls were locked out of the house, had very little credit on their phones and had no money on them,
Far be it for me to suggest that this man was a little neglectful with his arrangements regarding young children but one would think they would have a key to their own home and perhaps a little bus fare just in case. The driver however should have radiod through to have a replacement vehicle sent around that didn't object to carrying 2 unsupervised young girls. |

Regardless of the actions of the driver, this gentleman is breaking the law by leaving his children alone in a house. Regards JD |

I'm pretty certain the 1847 act stipulates only one ginger passenger during any single hire. CC |

.Most school contracts have no adult present except the driver and that includes coaches as well as taxis. |

Perhaps in your area they do but not everywhere

With all the bad press the social services have had recently it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this gentleman received a visit. Regards JD |

Regards JD No less than he deserves. Leaving the kids on their own is bad enough but going to the paper to complain was just plain stupid.
