[i]How has it ever come to this?[/i]

the answer is in the story:

"Disputes involving family members can be emotive and complex"

Hell is other people...

I think we've seen this increase in sensationalistic reporting grow and develop for several years, if not decades, now.
As competition in the world of journalism increases, there is a desire to make the most out of non-stories.

So being 'processed' for a non-criminal activity is a non-story?

Lack of statistical evidence and excessive use of inverted commas and lashings of unidentifed sources would tell me that "yes", it's a bit of a non-story.

It's a sad sign of the times - our Elders are left to rot in care homes, where they have nothing but thoughts of their Grandkids to enjoy. I blame the Thatcher catalysed dissolution of society into the Nuclear Family.

oh my. Well at least that only makes it a problem here. You do realise that Thatcher introduced bike helmets as well don't you?

Because people like you like being outraged by stories like that.
Still, at least someone benefits

I thought it was clear cut on the helmet debate. A helmet will protect you in all circumstances, FACT.

Lack of legal right of access to children with which some adults have formed very strong and close bonds is a truly tragic issue imo. Although one which is hard, if not impossible, to resolve.

The reference to Thatcher and bike helmets is a joke, right ? Since she had nothing to do with it. Where's the punchline btw ?

It's a commentary on neo-conservatism and the demise of extended family, wrapped in a baguette of STW goodness.

And I love a good helmet.
