I make it a point to try not to leap to kneejerk bursts of indignation over things like this (not saying that anyone here has, just setting out my stall). With that out of the way, I do admit to a certain anger that there are people around who seem to think it's acceptable to put their kids at risk like that. It's made more acute since I personally know parents who, because of an overzealous Social Services regime of having to meet adoption targets, have had to go through the trauma of having their kids literally snatched from them and absorbed into the care system. Not to mention those like my sweet Sam and I who were never even allowed the chance to have children of our own. I apologise if I come across as bitter.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
