Are you allowing your DC to play out with neighbours children?

[LegoBloodyHurts]

Just that really, are you allowing your DC to play out with neighbours children with everything going on?

I would call the police, they need a friendly reminder.

Not a chance should that be happening!

Fortunately not happening here at all since the weekend.

No of course not... I don’t know why anyone would think that’s a good idea!

OP. You should call the police. This is your duty to help save us all.

Each and every one of us has the duty to call out irresponsible people.

Just do it and good luck ☘️

Blimey I can't believe what I read on here sometimes, what is wrong with people. Even if you're not the sharpest tool in the box, the advice was very very simple and very very clear.

Not at all, my children usually play out in our street with our neighbours children but now they’re all playing in their own gardens away from each other

I hope you clean the door bell occasionally!

Round here the kids stopped gathering together on Friday. People were complaining on the local Facebook page about kids gathering in the park. The same kids who'd just been in school together all week another few hours wasn't going to make any difference.

Re the question of who supervises kids out playing. In my experience kids are given boundaries, go no further than x house, gate or whatever local landmark.
Parents keep an eye out but generally the kids are left to their own devices within reason. And be back for a set time.
Older kids will sometimes have a limited responsibility for younger children.

No. I am really unpopular in our road right now- all our houses back on to a shared alleyway and most people are letting their dc play out there like it's the holidays and were deeply offended when I saw mine had joined them, went out and made them came in, and told them very loudly that they were not supposed to be out and everyone else's parents were being very, very stupid.

Absolutely called the police on them they want you to
It’s probably too late for the bunch of idiots anyway if someone is coughing

You may be able to report it to 101 as pretty sure BJ stated police would have enforcing powers, and they have been enforcing lock down in some areas where people have congregated?

Whereabouts do you live Lego is it normally full to the gunnels with stupid, inconsiderate, lawless individuals or has the virus just brought out the worst in people? I live in an area of packed in terraces and cul de sacs, loads of kids and everyone is sticking to the rules. Kids from a household might go out and have a bicycle or play in front of their house if it’s a cul de sac but not with anyone else’s kids. I understand why you’re raging

more special people to whom the rules don't apply.

Op this must be very difficult for your kids.

No. And I've had some shit for it, too.

• grief from parents, not from the kids!

We live somewhere perfect for playing out. In weather like this there would be a bunch out...

I only see other children on walks with their parents or dogs. I can hear them in their gardens though.

Don't forget to wash your bin handles very very carefully OP, if your neighbours are all giving CV to each other. It's probably a good way for the virus to jump from house to house.

Honestly, call the police on the non-emergency number, or report it online. Our local force is actively asking people to report those who aren't following the guidelines.

These idiots are the reason this is going to go on for months and months.

Not. Not at all

I think this will happen until they apply proper lockdown I.e - no exercise allowed outside -

We have a semi communal garden with 1 neighbour, we have 4 kids between us who are like siblings to each other. They are at school and nursery together. We are isolating as one household essentially.

Kids can only go in their own house but we are letting them in the garden at the same time. I don't think there is a better solution in our circumstances. They are too young to understand why they cant mix and neighbours have to wfh so need the kids to be able to use the garden.

We could be sending ours to school as we're both key workers so this seems a much better way to shrink our contacts down.

It's not perfect, I'm aware.

The UK is in big trouble with schools still open and neighbours kids still out playing together😥

No

Playpark is padlocked. Bit pointless when the fence is only a metre, but no kids been in it.

My sister said all the kids are playing out in her area

Of course not.
