Reckless Driver takes kids on dangerous sledge ride

Something that made the local news lately was a story about a group of kids being towed around on a sledge by a Range Rover. The CHAD newspaper decided that this was front page material and thanks to a local man named John Gardiner took it upon himself to take a picture of these kids and the Range Rover.

Straight away I had to make a comment on the Chad website, I used to read the paper every week and over the past few years the stories have gone from bad to worse. My point was this:

Why is there such a story on the front page? Surely there are more important things that could have made the front page. Warning the people of Mansfield about the bad ice, stories about the old lady being attacked and robbed or maybe even the story about the man who rescued his autistic son? But NO!!!! They put this crap on the front page instead!!

This was taken from the Chad website:

“THIS picture shows the moment when fun in the snow turned into a potentially lethal game for a group of Mansfield children.

John Gardiner snapped this image of an adult taking three youngsters for a dangerous road ride on a tarpaulin pulled by a 4×4.

Police are now trying to track down the mystery driver, branding the behaviour as ‘reckless’.

Mr Gardiner managed to grab the photo last Tuesday evening and said the shot shows just one of a series of similar stunts on Kings Walk following the heavy snow”

There are a few comments on the Chad site and many more to come no doubt, we seem to have started a little discussion……
