Community Support Workers refuse to rescue 10yr old as not properly trained......

Hope there was more to this than apparent. Would you need proper 'training' to rescue a 10yr old?
This is procedural bollocks in my humblest of opinions - you would have thought it would be a no-brainer, see drowning child, jump in, no?

I know, Fio, sadly that's been kind of lost in the 'should they or shouldn't they' row about the PCOs. The little boy risked - and lost - his own life to save his sister. I suspect a few years ago the story would have been about him being a hero.

Are your dh's having a bit of a rest today (I doubt it!!!!)

Friends works on that industrial estate, said it was like a war zone yesterday. Driving thorugh S/thorne last night the air stank of smoke.

dh was there all day. He's on duty 'proper' today rather than being pressganged! He did have a bit of a laugh yesterday though; him and a mate had to direct traffic for a short while in the town centre (around the highpressure hose). It was an unmitigated disaster chaos ensued!

. That combined with a lorry turned over on the D road. Glad I was nicely at work all ay yesterday. Dh got caught in the traffic mayhem going through the city.

Wasn't there a PCSO to do that saggars?

DH there most of the morning, and almost had to arrest some bloke who was adamant that he was going to get to his office. Got tied up with a foreign lorry driver in the afternoon, but thankfully didn't get dragged to the D road accident.

Had another battering today, but then that's pretty average for city-centre policing (he's been covering again).
