If a family of 3

pitch a tent here with a young child , should they even be allowed to have kids?

 

Not the greatest of idea's was it?

 

Is the child caged inside the tent?!!!!

 

No, they should have their kids taken away.

Absolute stupidity that put their own lives at risk, their child's life at risk and the emergency services lives at risk.

 

Is this a purely hypothetical question or someone has actual done this?

 

Someone did it - it was on the news

 

And after the two idiots who went to the Lake District and caused a volunteer to have a serious accident, do these people have any brains?

 

Man. woman and child. Travelled from Donny and Middlesbrough.

 

These people are allowed to vote. Explains much.

 

Which bit are people losing their **** over?

That they camped in a clifftop? Remember people have houses on the edges of cliffs and each and every year we see stories of caravans falling into the sea from crumbling clifftops and we never judge those people.

Or that a couple in a relationship met up in an isolated place between their two homes?

 

I think it's the fact that they camped in such a stupid place, putting all of their lives at risk and causing coast guards and police to put their lives at risk. If just being so close to the edge isn't daft enough, the cliffs there regularly collapse into the sea.

Edit, rogue text removed....

 

Agreed, it was stupid, but like I said people live on clifftops all the time and we see their homes fall into the sea regularly enough that it doesn't shock us, people live in caravans on clifftops and I've seen plenty of those fall into the sea too and they aren't judged.
People walk on clifftops every single day and they aren't judged.

It seems to me that it isn't so much about the placement as it is that people are outraged that a couple with a child had the audacity to meet up during covid. If that area is so unsafe that being in it means headline news then why the hell is their a footpath a yard from the door of their tent?

Also it wasn't two men, it was a couple in a relationship and the child

 

I think it's a bit different when the cliffs collapse over many years and buildings which used to be 100s of yards from the edge eventually fall. Where buildings have been built on the edge of stable cliffs they would have some safety features like maybe a fence or a wall to stop people (particularly young children) from walking off into oblivion.

Personally, I don't have a great problem with a couple meeting between their homes, the COVID risk is very low and the separation must be hard to deal with. It's a bit like the 2 blokes in the Lake District which resulted in the mountain rescue volunteer getting life-changing injuries because of their stupidity.

 

No faecal matter is being misplaced on my part. It's just a wonderful highlight of a stupid decision. And if someone has recently bought a house 2 metres from the edge of an eroding cliff, they also qualify for a stupid award.

 

any context to picture,did they sleep there overnight?, was it just to chill in during a few hours out?,I have walked on cliff paths closer to edge than they are,how old is child,they should not be there its lockdown but did pandemic force them to find somewhere as remote as they could ,would they normally be there ?
end of day there is no excuse for being there in lockdown, they made a mistake,everyone does in life ,just put a few points to talk about

 

Well I had no idea they didn’t live together until your comment so that’s certainly not my reasoning. I thought they had just gone away as a family

Having thought about the situation some more, I think they’re extremely stupid and the fact that they put their child’s life in danger should mean in an ideal world that the child is taken out of their care. In reality I think it’s probably worse for the child to do so though, given how state care is for children, so I wouldn’t actually take the child away if it was my decision. They need to know that what they did wasn’t acceptable and it put themselves, their child and emergency services in very real danger though.

 

It’s the Sheffild Wednesday tent. Idiots on the edge of a cliff.

 

I wouldn't have pitched a tent there. However, if you go for a walk along the cliffs anywhere near Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington you do at your own risk. The path is close to the edge.

 

Yes.

 

I hadn't even thought of the restriction breaking aspect and I doubt many other people did. If you can't imagine one of those occupants waking up and forgetting they were so close to edge - particularly the young child - you obviously do have zero awareness of risk. You seem to deliberately take the minority view at times though.
